Hello TTOLers, after a very long absence from posting by me. Had many things happening over past 2 years but life is returning to a new normal for me now.

Sadly have not been to SXM for a few years now, really do miss it.

Has anyone on board here been to The Natural in Curacao?

web page ?

It looks like a clean, well managed property.

I see there are flights on Air Canada to Curacao.

thanks for any suggestions.

That one's certainly on our list and I would also love to hear from anyone who's been there.

We are off on the Bare Necessities Nude Cruise in 2018. One of the stops is Curacao, and we'd like to visit The Natural. I have spoken to the owner about a boat trip for a group, or we could visit The Natural for the day. The place is for sale currently.

I presume that you mean that you have talked to the owner of the Natural about a trip there, not the owner of Bare Necessities? I can't tell exactly how many units there are there, but it looks like there is no way that the ship could do an excursion there, as it would totally overwhelm the resort.

Any updates on this resort?

Grocery store near by resort?

I stopped in there four years ago just to have a look; we were staying elsewhere. The setting is beautiful, nice island views over a valley. The rooms looked perfectly fine, likewise for pool area. I was greeted warmly, seems like a friendly, quiet place. It is in the middle of the Island; use of a car would seem to be necessary as there are no services within walking distance.

Sorry, for the delayed response. I talked to the owner of The Natural about an excursion around the island or a visit to the resort. He cannot enter the cruise port where the BN group will be.This excursion would be for a small group of 8 not 2500!

OK, that makes more sense. I realize it's a whole year away, but would appreciate a report about the whole trip when you return.
