Great alternative to a beach vacation! This property is an oasis in the city with easy access to excellent restaurants and shops. Don't miss the Governour Restaurant for some great dining. FYI: A complimentary shuttle takes you to the sister property Lodge Kura Hulanda and Beach Club if you want to enjoy a day at the beach!
What I wish I
could change:
Dining can be rather expensive, but you are only a short walk to some nice markets where you can purchase snacks and wonderful Dutch cheese and rolls.
Why YOU should
go:
The hotel feels like its own little village, great location in town plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The eco pond swimming pool is very unique.

Comprising of 18th and 19th-century buildings, the Hotel Kura Hulanda Spa & Casino is part of a restored Dutch Colonial village on the Otrobanda side of Willemstad - a UNESCO World Heritage site that also includes an anthropological/cultural museum, a center of cultural studies, and a contemporary conference center. Guests come for restful, traffic-free holidays in a tranquil setting of narrow lanes and garden courtyards.
Two pools are tucked away in quiet garden courtyards. The two-level Eco Pond is a 100-foot-long, waterfall-fed, grotto-pool lined by natural rock formations. The Bolivar Pool is a free-form pool measuring about 50 by 30 feet. Adjacent is a 15-foot-diameter children's pool. Cushioned lounge chairs supply sunbathing comfort.
In Curacao's Papiamento language, Kura Hulanda means "Dutch courtyard." Appropriately, narrow paving-stone lanes winding through the village lead to courtyards shaded by thickly leaved trees and dense gardens, each space suffused with afternoon music from a discreet high-tech sound system. Musicians play six nights a week in the hotel's central square.
Hotel Kura Hulanda Spa & Casino officially opened its spa facility with six treatment rooms, a whirlpool, a lounge and a special area for outdoor massages, yoga and aerobics. The lavender-scented health spa offers massage, reflexology, body scrubs and wraps, and nail care. A beauty salon provides hair care. An air-conditioned fitness center contains cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights, a large sauna, a large steam room, and marble-lined locker rooms with showers. A 24-hour business center has three computers with complimentary high-speed Internet access. Cellular telephones can be rented at the front desk.
