Most people couldn’t find the island of Curacao on a map, and that’s
exactly the way they want to keep it. Located just off the coast of
Venezuela in the Southern Caribbean, this tiny, undiscovered gem
still maintains its charming Dutch influence. The neat little candy
striped houses look as though they’ve been transplanted from the
Netherlands, but the gentle trade winds, crystal waters and endless
sunshine belie a Caribbean paradise. Curacao is regarded as one of
the world’s great dive spots, with stunning coral reefs located just
off shore, easily accessible without a boat. The vivid colors below
the sea are exceeded only by the colorful history of the Island. A
visit to the capital city of Willemstad brings you the best of
Curacao, combining old-world charm and contemporary culture.
Since temperatures are warm throughout the year, light, casual tropical wear is
in order. Outside, protect yourself from the sun. Most indoor establishments are
air-conditi
oned;
you may need a lightweight jacket or long sleeves. Locals dress
fashionably, particularly for indoor evening events; dress for outdoor
festivals is decidedly casual. The strong trade winds may make
wraparound and billowing skirts a problem. Some restaurants prohibit
shorts or sandals; some casinos also require jackets for men. Overly
revealing clothes and bathing suits are not appropriate, except on the
beach. If you plan to walk in the countryside, wear sturdy shoes and
long pants to protect your legs from the cacti.
US currency is accepted everywhere, as are Travelers Checks and most major
Credit Cards. Debit Cards are accepted at a few large shops and supermarkets.
Prices are quoted in the national currency, the Netherlands Antillean guilder
(also called the florin), abbreviated NAFl or ANG. It is pegged to the US dollar
at a stable rate of US$1 = NAFl. 1.77 for cash, 1.78 for traveler’s checks.
Exchange rates may vary slightly at stores and hotels. Bills of USD$50 and
USD$100 can be hard to cash. The larger denominations of guilder bills (100 and
250) are hard to cash for small purchases. There are currently two versions of
guilder coins in circulation. The old square nickel and the newer square
fifty-cent piece are among the few square coins in the world; along with the 2
1/2-guilder coin they are popular souvenirs, particularly for children. There is
no black market and there are no restrictions on how much money you can bring
into the country.
Fun is no gamble in Curaçao, one of the Caribbean’s
best-kept secrets, and one of the world’s most exciting gambling
destinations. Play your aces at many of the island’s popular casinos or
enjoy the Las Vegas style action at Breezes Curaçao’s own casino. In fact
Breezes Curaçao Resort, Spa & Casino boasts the largest casino of the island
featuring 270 slot machines, black jack tables, poker tables, roulette, and
more.
Away from the tables, the island is well-known for its duty-free
shopping, well-preserved 17th- and 18th-century Dutch-style buildings, and
famous orange-flavored liqueur.
Electricity is 110 – 130 volts/50 cycles, similar but not
identical to the US standard. Most 60 cycle electrical appliances from the
United States will function properly, although appliances that have internal
time mechanisms will not keep the correct time and hair dryers and curling irons
may overheat if used for too long. Dual voltage appliances from Europe and South
America will need an adapter plug, readily available on the island. Although
electrical current is generally reliable, consider using a surge regulator for
sensitive electronic devices and computers. It’s a good idea to charge
underwater strobes and videos on the regulated systems at dive shops and photo
centers.
Water-
Tap water
is distilled directly from the sea, tastes good, and is safe to drink.
Transportation- Taxis are easy to recognize by their signs and the
TX on their registration plates. The prices are based for 1-4 people
from 6:00am – 11:00pm. A fifth person costs 25% more. After 11:00pm
there is 25% surcharge. Passengers should agree on a price for the
journey with the driver first. There are taxi stands at the airport,
hotels and Sha Caprileskade in Punda.
THINGS TO DO
This Caribbean island, with a touch of The Netherlands, is world famous for
its shopping; however, there is much more to do and see here as well. Your
Breezes hosts want to share the beauty of their islands with you. Excellent
tours are available, with experienced, friendly guides and can be arranged by
the Concierge at your hotel.
Dolphin Academy
The Dolphin Academy in this entrancing resort island encourages
visitors to meet the fascinating creatures face to face. The mystery
surrounding dolphins poses the same familiar questions here: Can we
ever learn to speak their language? And do they understand ours?
Obviously they want to make friends, play games, and put on a
magnificent show of grace and agility. The dolphins feel right at
home with humans and enjoy a stroking and a kiss.
Sailing and Boating
While in this southerly part of the Caribbean, don’t miss a Bounty Adventure,
sailing along the beautiful south coast. You will be aboard a 90-foot sailing
vessel. You’ll stop at a famous shipwreck and snorkel-explore the shallow reefs
in the national underwater park, joining the experienced crew in feeding the
rainbow-colored fish. All this activity makes you hungry and thirsty? No
problem! On board is a tasty barbecue and salad buffet, with a fully stocked
open bar.
Shopping
Pundas Breedestraat and Otrobandas Breedestraat are the main shopping
streets, likely to be crowded with tourists and cruise ship passengers most any
time of the day. The road is partially blocked off for pedestrian traffic. The
shopping is not duty-free, but is duty-relaxed, meaning the shopkeepers pay low
duty. And since there is no sales tax in Curaçao, you should be able to get some
fairly good deals. You will also find an array of shops on the Punda side,
particularly at the Waterfort Arches on the harborfront.
Horseback Riding
Various routes for guided tours on horseback are offered ranging from one
hour to an entire day trip like the sunrise and moonlight trips. Inexperienced
riders and children from 6 years can also take part.
Bike Rentals & Tours
Discover Curaçao and get some exercise at the same time! Cycle through the
beautiful natural surroundings and the real Curaçao countryside. The cycling
tour ends at one of the many beaches on Curaçao. You can rent bicycles for all
heights and weights.
Jeep Safari
Get to know the beautiful and rugged Curaçao countryside by Jeep. Jeep
safaris take you along narrow tracks past grand estates, mansions, caves,
flamingos and huge fields of cactus and many gorgeous beaches.
Scuba Diving
For millions of years reefs have surrounded the island, attaching to the
shore like a narrow border. In some places they are like beautiful gardens, with
delicate corals and are home to brightly colored tropical fish. In others,
massive coral formations extend into depths with deep-water fish patrolling the
plunging walls.
