Returned from 8 days in Curacao. Exceeded expectations.
Accommodation:
Mid-range Airbnb near the main area. $74/night. Quiet area but close to the action.
Scene:
About what the forum described. Prices were fair for the quality.
Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 5 encounters total.
Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Street food was a highlight.
Safety:
Felt safe throughout.
Overall: 9/10. Solid choice, will be back.
Happy to answer any questions.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

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

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
