Curaçao Scuba Diving Holidays

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in mid June. First, compared to other resorts that are within walking distance of downtown. Avila has the best private beach. There are plenty of beach chairs and palapas. The outside areas are well maintained. The staff was friendly. On that topic, it does take some time to get used to “island time” some cultures (especially American) might perceive the bar service as slow or inattentive, but others perceive it as laid back. The beach bar (Schooner Bar) was very laid back as a beach bar should be. Clyde was great and very attuned to the guests. We ate at Blues Caribbean Kitchen twice. The food was very good, but the portions are on the small side. I had the best coconut ceviche I have ever had, but it was served with only 3 plantain chips. The service at Blues was very friendly. The manager on duty checked on us and was delightful. I love to snorkel and I was able to find a few areas just outside the jetty with some solid coral and plenty of tropical fish. Our room was clean with a modern aesthetic and a very firm comfortable bed. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and I would visit again.

I chose the Royal Sea Aquarium Resort for a solo birthday trip, and overall I had a good experience. The location was convenient, and I appreciated the shuttle service, which offered rides to downtown Willemstad, the Curaçao sign, the Curaçao Liqueur Distillery, grocery stores, and evening trips into town. This was especially helpful since I did not rent a car. The staff was friendly and responsive throughout my stay. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of my room upon arrival. The shower curtain was dirty and needed to be replaced, and the condition of the bedding made me question whether the sheets had been changed before check-in. My concerns were addressed when I brought them to the staff's attention, but I believe housekeeping standards and room inspections could be improved. One of the highlights of my trip was Olas y Copas, the restaurant next to the resort. The food was excellent, the breakfast was very good, and Diego and his team were phenomenal. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. I also enjoyed visiting the Sea Aquarium. The interactive exhibits were fun and allowed visitors to get up close to the animals. One tip: if you participate in feeding the sharks, keep an eye on the birds. They are surprisingly aggressive and may take the food right out of your hand. I learned that the hard way! Overall, I enjoyed my birthday trip and appreciated the location, shuttle service, nearby attractions, and dining options.
