Internet for around EUR 30 instead of expensive roaming charges? Save on a rental car? We’ll show you how and how not to fall into the classic cost traps.

Good advice is (not at all) expensive!

Has a stranger ever called you darling and in a way that wasn’t offensive at all? More like it’s the most natural thing in the world? This is easy to do with the Papiamentu word “Dushi”, which in this case translates to “darling” or “sweetheart”. But it also means even more in another context. You can get to the bottom of the beautiful national language, Papiamentu, in our insider tips. This will definitely help you get around the island very quickly.

Nobody likes worrying about tap water. Nobody likes worrying about raw food and ice (cubes). In Curacao you don’t have to tackle with this and can drink tap water without hesitation. Tap water is drinking water everywhere. This means you can eat anything without having to constantly watch what you eat. You definitely won’t get sick from drinking water here – a real advantage for Curacao compared to many other tropical holiday destinations.

And here’s something else we can whisper to you with a clear conscience: You can travel to Curacao 365 days a year because the island is the ideal year-round travel destination. There are almost no climate fluctuations and even in the so-called rainy season the sky is blue again after a short shower. The sky and the sea are always blue – like Blue Curacao. The turquoise sea is never colder than 27° Celsius and most of the year it is just as warm as the air.
