Our Trip to Curaçao was absolutely amazing. Staying at Villa Vista provided us a perfect location to call home base. We walked to Jan Thiel beach everyday. We were able to purchase flippers for our week of snorkeling (you can rent there as well). The short one block walk was easy. We loved the little Van den Tweel Supermarket, where we got fresh croissants and breads on several mornings. We ate dinner at Zest, Mojito's & Bites, and Zanzibar. We did rent a car for the week, which we highly recommend. With the car we were able to visit so many different beaches on the island as well as do a day in Willemstad. Villa Vista provided a nice set up with the upstairs having an apartment set up just like the first floor. I will say that while the bedrooms do have air conditioning, the main part of the house does not. But, I believe that most houses on the island are set up this way. It did take me a day for my body to acclimate to this. Once you get used to it, and open all the doors and windows allowing the Caribbean breeze to blow through, it's actually quite nice. I would recommend packing some bug spray, though. We had 2 lovely dinners at the house. Both times eating upstairs on the balcony. The privacy that Villa Vista provided helped us create some amazing memories for my family. I have a 16 yr old and a 14 year old. The pool was fabulous. Always cool and refreshing. It was such a pleasure to visit Curaçao, and stay at Villa Vista. We hope to return someday!
