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 decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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