For some people, it is a dream to travel and fly to the Dutch Caribbean ABC islands or just to Curaçao only. ABC stands for Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao

Though sometimes lightly sandy, Curaçao resorts often incorporate a delicate blend of classical Dutch and indigenous cultures. In particular, the island takes its lead from the most popular side of Dutch culture, processing and revitalizing the traditions of the past. Though some of the original Dutch colonialists may have left the island and incorporated their cultures into the Curaçao culture, there are still many highly individualistic cultures that have themselves compelled the participation of countless others. Perhaps the most recognizable of these traditions is the world’s original water sport, which can be found in many of the Caribbean resorts. Though water sports of all kinds have always been and remain popular in the Caribbean, the tradition of swimming while clad in a wet suit is a unique and long-term aspect of the area’s culture. In most cases, beachside resorts are better equipped than many other locations to satisfy guests’ needs for water sports. On the other hand, travelers seeking a more traditional beach vacation need only take short jumps to the nearby ocean to engage in these sports or activities.

As the area’s traffic continues to congest, Curaçao resorts are both comfortable and popular accommodations. Where ever you stay in Curaçao, you are sure to be able to locate an ideal beachfront resort with the right amenities to suit your needs, whether you are traveling alone, with your family, with a group of friends, or with your other family members. With beaches on both the Caribbean and Atlantic sides of the island, plenty of oceanfront resorts are located in areas that are always warm and inviting. Best within driving distance of both of Curaçao’s worlds famous resorts, hotels, and ports, many of these family friendly resorts are ideal for families with small children, couples, or large groups looking for a romantic getaway.
