Visited Curacao for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $87/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $145/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Thanks for posting this. The forum has been quiet on Curacao lately so this is welcome intel.
