Voted one of the best in the Caribbean, Curacao is like being in tropical Netherlands. The town is built in the Dutch style but the surrounding areas are all tropical. Hit the beaches, lay in the sun, and party the night away. This may not be Gilligan’s Island but what it lacks in privacy it makes up for in romance and fun. The weather is pretty stable here. It’s always hot and usually sunny. If it rains, it’s between November and January. Don’t worry about hurricanes- it’s below the hurricane belt!
Sandwiched between Bonaire and Aruba and close to the Venezuelan coast to the south.
