This was a wonderfully quaint village! Visited: July 2005 Posted by senoritajohnson My mother and I decided to vacation this past summer in Curacao. This island was virtually unknown to us, save for several family friends mentioning it as a port-of-call on a cruise. After stressing over whether to stay at the Kura Hulanda or Floris on the island, my mother and I selected Kura Hulanda. We were so glad we did! It was wonderfully quaint-- every room in the village was uniquely furnished and decorated. We stayed in a loft-style room with a spiral staircase. It got a bit warm up there, but it was bearable. We enjoyed the Aveda products in the bathrooms and the footed tub. The main resort pool was phenomenal - several days we stayed at the pool for much of the day. I do believe that there was another smaller pool at the other end of the village, but the main pool was more convenient to our room. The pictures of the pool as seen on the web site were accurate. The beach was not the greatest. We've been to much more pristine beaches. The hotel beach was shared with the Marriott, and shuttle service was provided from Kura Hulanda, and there was a phone for you to call when you would like to be picked up. Overall, if you are going to KH, don't expect much from the beach. You'll probably have a much better experience just staying at the pool. The food at the restaurants overall was very good-- the Observatory was a bit pricy, but enjoyable. Mom and I really liked the restaurant adjacent to the pool better, serving Indian-inspired cuisine. It was very tasty! There was a convenient business center, which was helpful in being able to stay connected. There were two computers-- not once did I have to wait for a computer. At the edge of the hotel, there was a museum that was open to the general public. This museum was comprised of several buildings and outdoor displays, and was phenomenal. The owner and developer of the resort designed this museum to illustrate and inform guests about the slave experience in the Caribbean. I commend the owner-- exhibits were thorough, emotionally provoking, and presented information consistent with historical accounts. Hotel Kura Hulanda is recognized as one of the Leading Small Hotels of the World. Rightfully so. This was a great retreat - with attentive staff, beautiful decor, and amazing cultural influence. 9 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful?
