Hilton Curacao
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: Occupying 23 acres of a blunt peninsula, Hilton Curacao offers panoramic sea views, particularly from the peninsula's broad end, which is swept by sea breezes, graced by cactus gardens and a lighted miniature-golf course, and features Sunset Rock, which has concrete bleachers facing west. Families and couples come to the resort for restful holidays with plenty of space, fresh air, and sunshine.
Amenity highlights: Each side of the resort's peninsula features a private beach. One slopes 68.6 meters (75 yards) to a 37-meter-wide (40-yard-wide) section lapped by the sea. Prime snorkeling lies off this beach along coral-reef outcroppings. The other lies some 366 meters (400 yards) away and measures 91 meters (100 yards) wide. In the resort's center, a lagoon-style pool meanders 76 meter (250 feet), splitting into two infinity edges overlooking the sea. A star-shaped 18-by-18-meter (60-by-60-foot) children's pool includes waterspouts.
Insider tip: The restored battlements of Fort Piscadera Bay lie within the resort. Nearby is Captain Bligh's Bar, named for a Captain John Bligh who led a 19th-century English force that briefly dislodged the Dutch from the fort. Bligh's Beer is brewed and served at the resort.
