Today I would like to share some tips on Curacao. A few years ago I spent a week on the Island
which is located near Aruba and Bonaire.
Before I book any vacation I always do my research over the internet
with Trip Advisor or just doing a google search. Once I find where I would like to stay come
the searching for the best price. In the
past we would have to have used a travel agent but today everything is available
online. For this trip I booked through
CheapCaribbean.
We stayed at Sunscape all-inclusive resort which turned out
to be an excellent choice. The food was
excellent especially at the specialty restaurants. The buffet was always a good choice for breakfast;
my favorite was the fresh made omelets. For
lunch there is a bar close to the beach and they made the best grouper sandwiches.
I chose not to dive with the onsite dive shop and dove with
Curiour2Dive which picked me up each morning and drove to different dives
sites. All the diving in Curacao is
close to shore due to the drop off 100 feet from shore. I always am looking for something I have not
yet seen underwater and in Curacao I wanted to see a frogfish. Hans Pleij is the owner and dive master on
all my dives. He did his best to find a
frogfish but we came up short on this trip.
Two days after I got home Hans sent me a photo that he found a
frogfish.
