Curcao: Where cultures coalesce

by daisyann , Sep 23 '00
Pros: The food, the wonderful warm gentle ocean, and the welcoming smiles from the very hospitable people of Curacao.
Cons: Curcao was the hottest Caribbean Island I have ever visited, and I was just dismayed at the number of stray dogs and cats, many pitiffuly scarred with mange and painfully thin. This is something that bothers me everywhere I go.
Review Topic:  Overview

The funniest thing I saw in Curacao was two Arab women swimming, snorkeling, actually fully covered in long black dresses and white, tightly bound headscarves. Their snorkels were lime green, and they...

Pros: Perfect weather, good prices, not overcrowded, not commercialized, USD widely accepted, English spoken
Cons: Not many airlines fly there
My husband and I honeymooned in Curacao in March 2003. Why did we choose Curacao as our destination? Well, it is Caribbean culture mixed with European culture, and there were historical sights and shopping and dining along with beach-related activities. ...

Curacao. Wow!

by christalgamble , Jul 27 '02
Pros: It's beautiful and very unlike your typical Caribbean Vacation
Cons: Things are a little slower here
My fiancee and I have the same birthday (June 19) and we make it a habit to be "unavailable" on that particular date. So to make a long story short - we travel - preferrably out of the country. On this particular birthday (2001) we chose and mix of...

Bon Bini (Welcome) To Sunny Curacao! No Worry Of Hurricane Season!

by charles Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Oct 09 '99
Pros: Great diversity in action...Warm Caribbean human feelings..
Cons: No great beaches like other islands...Sunburn, sea urchins, and jelly fish
Located below the hurricane belt, Curacao is out of the rage of hurricanes which roam over most Caribbean islands. You can visit Curacao any time because temperature (82F) is never a problem. It has low humidity due to the constant trade of winds....

The Seaquarium

by satay , Dec 28 '99
Pros: Excellent descriptions; open air pools.

The Seaquarium deserves special mention because of its uniqueness in all the Caribbean. Located at Lion's Dive Hotel, one crosses a short bridge to the island which houses the complex. The Seaquarium is a semi-open air facility with 46 tanks showing...

Mixed feelings

by cruizer , Sep 10 '03
Pros: Seaquarium - swim with dolphins, clear waters good for snorkeling/diving, Indonesian restaurant
Cons: Starving dogs, garbage and unfinished construction everywhere
This was our first Caribbean vacation and I have to say, I was more shocked and disgusted than happy to be there. I guess we expected Hawaii-like surroundings and it was hard to see past all the garbage, construction, dilapidated houses, and most of all t ...

Bon Bini Reba Curacao

by TheSmartTraveler Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 18 '00
Pros: Weather, Sea Life, Slow Pace
Cons: Expensive
If you've been to the usual suspects in the Caribbean and want to try something a little different, Curacao might be the place. You'll fly into Willemstad, the capital, a town of pastels and red roofs. Because it's dry and outside the hurricane belt,...

Just right for the down and dirty tourist

by givmesom2 , Dec 28 '99
Pros: lots of fun in the sun!!!!
Cons: none
While in the Navy, I went to this island paradise. It was a great place for a person to turn 20. I turned 20 just after leaving the island and I couldn't have asked for a better place to be at.

There is a lot of great things to do if you are...
