Vacation Rental Description
Our two level one bedroom beachfront condominium is located on a beautiful bluff steps away from the beach and blue calm waters. Due to natural topography of the beach, the water is very calm. Breathtaking views from the condo range from mountain views to the left, to lagoon views directly ahead and Caribbean ocean views to the right allowing both sunrise and sunsets to be seen from the deck. Because the beach is lit at night, the beach view can be enjoyed after dark.
Relax, swim, dive, snorkel, hike or read a book while watching the blue Caribbean waters. Two twin beds can be used separately or easily pushed together based on preferences.
Two additional guests may sleep on our comfortable Dutch leather sleeper sofa. A full bath on each level allows complete privacy. Allow the gentle winds and lapping ocean waves to rock you to sleep while you rest safely with open windows in this gated private resort. Ceiling fans located in each room assist the island breeze. Air conditioning units on each level are available but we have never found the need to use them.
A kitchen allows food preparation and storage if desired. Take a short walk to enjoy a wonderful lunch or dinner at a dive shop on the beach or walk next door on Thursday to Bahia Inn to savor an all you can eat island dinner or BBQ buffet.
Walk down a few stairs to the beach and watch for the daily visits from sea turtles. Pelicans will fly in and search for fish on many mornings. Iguanas bask in the sun. Local fishermen return to our beach daily and you can buy their fresh catch.
On the beach you will meet other world travelers from many countries and the friendly locals will strike up conversations and you may find you have become good friends.
Curacao lies outside the “Hurricane Belt”.
Don your snorkel or scuba gear and back paddle less than 80 yards to the easily navigable reef which is parallel to the shore. Boat diving in Curacao is simply not needed but is easily available if you so desire.
Mount Christoffel National Park is near and provides a wonderful hiking experience but wear comfortable shoes.
Since our resort is on the West End, relaxation and quiet enjoyment is key. You will not be surrounded by a typical resort hotel setting packed with tourists.
If you wish more activity, including nightlife, take a 30-40 minute drive to the capital of Willemstadt on easily traveled roads where you will find food delicacies of all types and prices ranges, nightclubs and all manner of shops ranging from “tourist treasures” to fine china and sliver. A large canal splits Willemstadt and walking across the mobile floating bridge is quite wonderful. Stop by the floating farmer’s market and buy exotic fruits, vegetables and spices.
Take a rest at a sidewalk bistro on the banks of the canal and sip a coffee or try a Dutch treat filled with warm Gouda cheese. Round out your excursion with a tour of the picturesque Dutch architecture or enjoy the Kuru Hulanda museum where you will learn of the history of Curacao and slave trade. Further east is one of the best Caribbean aquariums where your guide will insure an enjoyable time by all and sign the kids into the Dolphin Academy to provide a true touch and feel experience.
Return to the West End and realize why our glorious lagoon is home. Take a cooling dip in the resort pool for guests only then watch the sun set on another lovely day in paradise.
Our on site manager will attend to any of your needs and can provide airport transportation, rental cars, dive/snorkel equipment and general advice. Dive gear can be rinsed and stored in their area and they will arrange boat dives for you if you wish.
This truly is a secluded paradise situated away from the hustle and bustle of typical tourist crowds and on your 30-40 minute return ride to the airport, you are likely to be planning your return trip to Lagoon Ocean Resort, Lagun, Curacao.
