Returned from 5 days in Curacao.
Accommodation:
Serviced apartment near the action. $38/night.
Scene:
Quieter but worthwhile. Excellent value.
Highlights:
Great provider on day 3.
Overall: 8/10 - One of my favourites.
Happy to answer questions.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
