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 a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Curacao vs last year — has it changed?

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
