Essential reading for your Curaçao adventure
Insider knowledge from the Tommy Coconut family
Rent a car or choose a Tommy Coconut villa with included vehicle. Taxis are expensive, and having wheels gives you freedom to explore hidden beaches.
Year-round paradise! Avoid September-November for hurricanes. December-April is peak season. May-August offers great weather with fewer crowds.
USD widely accepted. Local currency is Florin (ANG). Credit cards work most places. Always tip 10-15% at restaurants - it's appreciated!
Dutch and Papiamentu are official, but English is widely spoken. Learn "Dushi" (sweet/beautiful) and "Bon Bini" (welcome) - locals love it!
Bring reef-safe sunscreen (protect our coral!), water shoes for rocky entries, and snorkel gear. Many beaches have great snorkeling right off the shore.
All our vacation rentals include high-speed WiFi. International roaming can be expensive, so consider local SIM cards for longer stays.
