Just booked a trip to Curacao, has anyone on the board been before? I am looking for some recommendations on activities you liked (or didn't). Also, would love some restaurant suggestions (I would prefer not to go to the touristy spots).
Thanks!
i was just about to post a question about turks and caicos...
But I have been to Aruba (another of the ABC islands) a few times. I can't stress enough the importance of sunscreen. the region gets a lot of wind, which makes the heat bearable, but also makes it easy to forget how strong the sun is there...and it is STRONG.
Same comment about the sunscreen. Sand is very coarse, dry and hot. Shore diving in Bonaire was fantastic. Not sure if you're a diver, but that may be an option at "C". If you drink beer, the only option at "B" was Amstel Brite, but it's not all bad.
if not, scuba. I haven't gone but my parents recently went to Bonaire and its a top scuba/snorkel destination in the world. For Curacao, I think they do their annual speedboat races before the summer, not sure when though.
