Most frequently asked questions for Groups coming to Curacao…

  1. How do I get to Curacao?

Hato International Airport (CUR) services our island, and just a great job at that! In fact, Caribbean Journal named our airport The Caribbean Airport of the Year for 2017. By the end of 2018, the Departure Hall will be the home to a food court & bar, providing something to entice every taste-bud.  We have direct airlift three times a day, every day on American Airlines out of Miami. American Airlines also flies twice a week out of Charlotte (CLT) on Saturday and Sunday.  JetBlue has a direct flight four times a week (Mon, Tues, Wed, Sat) from JFK. The Curaçao International Airport is a 15.5-mile (35-40 minute) shuttle transfer to our property.

2. What is the best time of year to visit Curacao and what about hurricanes?

For most destinations around the world, climate makes a huge difference which time of year you are planning to go. However, you would not have to take weather into consideration for Curacao, because the climate and weather remain consistent throughout most of the whole year. Curacao is located just 12 degrees north of the equator, with an arid climate and temperatures (always in the 80s) that vary only three degrees year-round! The reason that the climate is so consistent throughout the year in Curacao is because of its location as an island in relation to the equator. In Curacao you can expect it to be always sunny and as a natural air conditioner the Trade Winds bring cooling during the day and the same Trade Winds bring warming during the night.We are fortunate to sit just outside of the Caribbean hurricane belt – that’s right, no hurricanes for us! 

3. I always hear about Aruba, but why not their neighbor, Curacao?

Curacao is the enemy of ordinary!  The Anthony Bourdain of the Caribbean.  Let’s refer to true data as a reference…We know that Dutch Caribbean (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao) is a group of countries under the Kingdom of the Netherlands with a confusing legal arrangement, as we’re both independent and part of the Netherlands. Regardless of our official status, these countries still strongly identify with the Netherlands, perhaps none more than Curacao.

The Similarities:

  • They're both Dutch islands
  • 35 miles apart
  • Same cultural influences

Yet, believe us - the two islands couldn't be more different.

The Differences:

  • Aruba is the smallest of the ABC’s. Only 19 miles long, its total area is less than 75 square miles.  Curacao is the largest by almost double to that of Aruba being 43 miles long and 172 square miles. 
  • As of January 2018, population of Aruba was 105,489, Curacao was 161,577.  
  • Curacao’s terrain is much more rugged, diverse, and mountainous than either of the other two ABC islands, creating striking scenery.
  • While tourism plays a major role in Curaçao's economy, it is less reliant on tourism than other Caribbean countries where tourism is the #1 feeder to our neighbors, it’s only #3 making up less than 15% to Curacao followed by oil and finance.  Not to say this won’t change though!  The travel and tourism segment of Curacao has been a drastic growth in the last few years and celebrated big wins in 2017-2018 from being named a Best Airport in the Caribbean (Caribbean Journal), Best Golf Course Destination in the Caribbean and Mexico (USAToday), along with Best Dive Spot in the Caribbean 2018 (Caribbean Journal).  Where we saw the Caribbean average of revenue per available rooms decrease by 2.8% in Q1 2018, Curacao increased by 17.4%.
