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.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
