First time in Curacao

[ronpriskie]

My first trip top Curacao (albeit with others who've been there before) is coming up soon (Jan 10 2008). Any suggestions for restaurants or great dive sites?

• Caracas Bay (aka Tugboat)
• Mushroom Forest
• Watamula (based on other experience haven't actually been to this site)
• Superior Producer
• Vaersenbaai (Police Bay)
• Porto Mari
• Cas Abou (based on a member of our dive club haven't actually been to this site)
• Playa Kaliki (Alice in Wonderland - Based on others experience)
• Oswaldo's Leap (if staying at Breezes Curacao)

Carpile might be fun for a change, a kind of underwater junk yard.

My first trip top Curacao

Tugboat is a must, Superior Producer is my favorite, Carpile and reef above carpile (Pierbaii) is great. Stop and talk to Mark and Suzy at The Dive Bus and they will help with heaps of suggestions. Check out The Dive Bus - HOME. Have a great trip!:14:

Thanks for the recommendations, but I won't be there on a Wednesday. Is Landhuis Brievengat only open on Wed? Or is Wed some special night there?

Fridaynight is PARTY night

Rib Factory.
Surf n' Turf for lobster - local place so not fancy. Nice view though.

Varsenbaai
Playa Kalki in both directions.
Habitat's reef in both directions.
Sunset Waters to the east.

I second the Dive Bus recommendation...

Some cool restaurants:
Asia di Cuba (Oriental & Cuban mix)
De Heeren (great salads)
Intermezzo (good fried eggs for lunch)
Mundo Bizarro (very new and eclectic, good, creative cooking)
