Hotels in Curaçao — What to Expect
With its sun-bleached Dutch colonial architecture and turquoise coves, Curaçao offers a distinct Caribbean rhythm. The heart of the island is Willemstad, where you can cross the iconic Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge into the Punda district for shopping and see the candy-colored Handelskade waterfront. Beyond the capital, the rugged north coast at Shete Boka National Park provides a dramatic counterpoint to the calm, sandy beaches like Cas Abao on the western shores. Diving the coral walls of the Mushroom Forest or exploring the Hato Caves are just a few ways to fill your days.
The island suits a wide range of travelers, from couples seeking romantic beachfront dinners to families enjoying the calm waters of Jan Thiel Bay. Most visitors find staying in Willemstad convenient for its restaurants and history, while the areas around Jan Thiel and the west coast offer more resort-style seclusion. Getting around is easiest with a rental car, though taxis are available and the airport, Curaçao International (CUR), has good connections from North America and Europe.
On HOTEVI, you’ll find 63 different properties to choose from. The selection is diverse, ranging from affordable guesthouses in Otrobanda to all-inclusive resorts with private beaches and a number of charming boutique hotels in restored colonial buildings. This variety means you can easily match your stay to your style and budget.
