With respect, my experience was more mixed. Maybe timing matters.

Back from Curacao. 12-day trip. Here's my breakdown:
Accommodation: Budget hotel near the action. $25/night.
Scene: Better than expected.
Prices: about average.
Highlights: Met an amazing girl on day 3.
Overall: 8.5/10.
Ask me anything.

Not sure I agree about that area. Found the outskirts better value.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about ${pick(["50","80","100","120","150"])}/day all-in.
My tip: Book hotels close to the scene.
