HOW TO CHOOSE
For a 5–7 night Curaçao trip, choose the base first
Want the easiest resort vacation?
Start with Marriott, LionsDive, Sunscape or Dreams depending on whether you want flexible dining or all-inclusive convenience.
Want to walk to more?
Renaissance and Avila make it easier to combine the hotel with Willemstad, restaurants and evenings outside the resort.
Want Jan Thiel?
Papagayo is the cleaner hotel-style choice; compare the wider Jan Thiel area if you want villas, apartments or a more independent setup.
