So glad you enjoyed it! We intend to return one day as well. We really enjoyed Rozendael's -- we had one of our best meals there and the atmosphere was indeed lovely. BTW, we stayed almost directly across the street from Rozendael's at the Avila Beach Resort, so we just had to cross the street and walk 1/2 block. Very convenient. We didn't smell the refinery at all anywhere on the island, even though we had some nice breezes. One of the things we enjoyed was that Curacao had a more European feel to it than the (overly) Americanized Aruba. It was like going to Amsterdam again, but being in the Caribbean at the same time. Thanks for the report!

We're just back from 10 days at The Natural, Curacao. Regarding food, our favorite was de Buurvrouw (if you're not Dutch, you can't pronounce it). We especially liked the skewers and the delicious ribs. We also liked the local food at Williwood. One observation: The island is lot more Dutch than the Dutch side of St. Maarten. Another observation: The owners/proprietors of the The Natural, Paul & Tatjana, really make you feel at home at their beautiful resort.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

I'm not Gitter, but they did note in their 3rd post above: "Is CUR trip worthy?? Absolutely!! and we will probably return." As for hubby and myself, we will definitely return at some point. Nice island, friendly people, beautiful beaches. Not SXM, but an very nice alternative for something just a little different.

I was glad to read your post. We stay 2 weeks at our Royal Resort and then on to the Natural for a week, first timers at the whole experience. We loved the Orient Beach experience in 2016 and are returning next year, but we thought adding a week at the Natural to our usual 2 weeks at Royal might broaden our horizons even more! Thanks for the recommendation of Buurvrouw. We like the wine Cellar, Scampi's, places on the BLVD. Do they provide pool towels at the resort? Thanks.
