Pro tip: Splurge on a seaside bungalow with a private pool so you can float without a care in the world as you enjoy the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. Other options are swim-up rooms, poolside bungalows providing easy access to a shared pool, and oceanview rooms.
The Kurason Island Poolside Butler Bungalows offer an intimate space with comfort at front and center. It’s all in the littlest details at Sandals, so your stay will feel as if you’re in a home away from home, only better.

There are eight restaurants and three food trucks on-site at Sandals Royal Curacao. Our advice is to try the Toteki food truck if you want to sample the local cuisine. We love how fresh and tasty the fish kebabs are. The Strand Seafood bar is right by the beach, and since it’s all-inclusive, you can indulge in all the sushi you can handle at the sushi bar.
Sandals Curacao (2022) may be laid back, but it’s far from boring. You can join diving trips and even become a certified diver during your stay. Other watersports are available too like paddle boarding and snorkeling.
If you’re staying in one of the seaside bungalows, you can even reserve a MINI Cooper and enjoy a leisurely romantic drive together. Check out the sights on your own for a few hours, drive back, and then head straight to the pool to relax.
