Curacao is by far our favorite island, due to 7 great reasons to choose a Curacao vacation.

Curacao is naturally arid, like the US southwestern desert areas with flora to match; there are lots of cactus.  It is also humid and sometimes rains at night, so the flowers are beautiful, and flowers and palms planted by the resorts are thriving.  Whether you prefer land or sea environments, beauty abounds throughout Curacao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lovely Curacao is fortunate enough to be south of the\nhurricane belt in the Caribbean, so weather-related trip interruptions are\nextremely rare.  Year-round the air and\nwater temperatures are very consistent with mostly sunny days ranging from\n75-86 F and continuous trade winds that keep the island comfortable 11 months\nof the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
