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
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers

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

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
