About Curaçao
Although the beaches of Curaçao are not in the best condition due to the high concentrations of coral that wash up with the tide and the local alcohol can be a first class trip to an upset stomach, these disadvantages are dwarfed by the levels of comfort and rich amenities that are offered by the island. The friendliness and genial manner of the locals help this as well.
