The largest of the Netherlands Antilles group of islands,
Curaçao is a beautiful island with plenty of excellent Caribbean
beaches. Almost all of the island’s activity is centred along the
southern coast and it is here that you find the best diving and snorkelling.
Capital of the Netherlands Antilles, Willemstad is a brightly coloured
carbon copy of a traditional Dutch settlement. Punda, with its narrow
winding streets is at the heart of Willemstad and is a real pleasure
to explore. If staying near to Willemstad you may like to consider dining
in town; there are a number of good restaurants and the seafood is excellent.
Sailing from Willemstad, local vessels take you along the coast or across
to the nearby island of Klein Curaçao. An easy day trip, this
allows you to experience alternative beaches and bays. The island has
a good selection of quality hotels.

Properties
Hotel Kura Hulanda
A delightful property located in central Willemstad.
The hotel has 65 guestrooms, all of which have been furnished with traditional
dressings, including art work by local painters. The hotel has four restaurants,
two swimming pools and a health club. The lovely beach is nearby, as
are the attractions of the traditional old town.
What better way to end your Americas holiday than with a few days relaxation on a beautiful Caribbean beach. Lying under a palm tree,
drink in hand and that arduous walk to Machu Picchu will seem like
a very distant memory.
