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
- New venues worth checking out

I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.

Trying to decide between this and Thailand.

Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.
