Visited Curacao for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $110/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
