    Curacao Trip

    Has anyone ever stayed at Sunset Waters Beach Resort? I'm going on a group trip there and don't really know too much about it. Does anyone have any recomendations for diving in the area or anything about the hotel I should know? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Tmccar1,

    You'll find a very detailed description of it in my feature trip report in the Feb '05 issue of Undercurrent, "Sunset Waters Beach Hotel: Curacao, Netherland Antilles" http://www.undercurrent.org/UCnow/issues2005.shtml

    Regards,

    There have been several trip reports on this board over the last year or so. Do a search and you will come up with them

    I haven't stayed there, but I did boat dive with them.

    You should have a good time. Make sure you have open heel fins and booties as Curacao shore diving should not be missed.

    If you have a car, you have a lot of great shore dives close by such as Playa Jeremy, Lagun, Porto Marie, Cas Abou. If you don't have a car the Sunset Waters house reef can keep you busy. Their dive staff is very friendly and helpful.

    I have 3 Curacao scuba videos on my website. Download them if you like to get an idea of what you will see.
