Has anyone been to Curacao recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Curacao?

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.
