Safety: Most visits to Curaçao are trouble-free. The main tourist areas are generally safe, but you should take normal precautions. There are unique things to do, great eats, a fascinating Euro-Caribbean culture fusion and a beautiful sunny climate waiting for travelers to unwind and enjoy. In addition, the island is one of the most LGBT-friendly destinations in the Caribbean. Curaçao is a Caribbean gem, and it's only getting better.
Best time to visit: The best time to visit Curaçao is between December and April, but year round this island has warm temperatures and sunny skies, which means plenty of beach and pool time in and out of your all-inclusive resort. Of course, even though Curaçao is outside the hurricane belt, one can never guarantee perfect weather. The Caribbean Hurricane Season runs from June 1 to November 30. For Curaçao this generally means that there is less wind than normal during this period, which makes it feel warmer than during the rest of the year.
What to expect: Curaçao is a beautiful and colorful paradise that is often overlooked compared to its Caribbean neighbors. But there are so many reasons why Curaçao should be the next destination you visit. From its beautiful beaches to its diving and snorkeling and local food, there's a lot to explore.
