Has anyone been to Curacao recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers
Premium experiences in Curacao — worth the money?

Different experience for me. Prices were higher when I went.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
