Curacao

[Kman1]

Yes, I realize that Curacao is not like the DR or the Philippines (Angeles City). That's part of the reason I want to visit. To see and experience the differences. That and the opportunity to do plenty of snorkeling, reading and enjoying dinners out. Mentioning dinners out, how is the food at Campo Alegre or is it mostly drinks? Another thing I'd like to know is if most visitors simply use USA dollars or the Dutch Gilder. When I am in other countries I usually use the ATMs to obtain my local currency (especially since my bank covers all fees). Is it better to use dollars or the local currency?

Since I've also traveled to Medellin and Cartagena several times, I hope to meet some Colombian chicas as well as Dominican chicas. Since I speak fairly fluent (or at least functional) Spanish, the language barrier isn't there. What are some of the other places the chicas come from? Venezuela? Dominica? Etc.

Keep all of you posted on my trip to Curacao.

I did not try the food at Campo. It looked ok, seemed like limited options. US dollars accepted. Usually you get change in Guilders but you can ask in dollars (if they have they'll give). Campo rates are 3 to 5. You can pay chica either 30 US or 50 Guilders. I found extras like BBBJ can be had with some chicas for an extra tip, (10 to 20 $). If you can work it you can get it for free too. I don't recall seeing any chica other than from DR or Colombia at Campo, if they are there must be really few. Which leads to another question? At the resort I say plenty of local girls working at the restaurants and casinos, some were pretty, most were big though. Are there any local flavors available in the island? or Dutch?

i was considering renaissance also but 30 minutes is a long way. any other suggestions for a 4-5 star place closer to campo? i am only there for 2 nights so vacation homes are really not an option. thanks.

don't worry, the drive from otrabanda is not really a big deal so book wherever you feel comfortable. i would just avoid some of the resorts around jan theil and seaquarium beaches as they are considerably farther from campo. 30 minutes from the renaissance would be during the day with traffic. later in the evening it will be 15-20 min. hop on the ring road and the drive is pretty quick. i've made it in 10 min at night without speeding.

the renaissance is a nice property with a decent casino, tons of restaurants and shopping in the attached shopping mall and the rifort mall. it is a quick 2 min walk to downtown otrabanda and the bridge to punda. the only other hotels in the 4-5 star range that are closer to campo are the ones in piscadera. hilton, marriott etc. but it is only about a 5 min difference.

i like the downtown area myself and usually stay at the kura hulanda which is in otrabanda. i prefer it because it is truly unique and not a cookie cutter resort like all the brand names. check all the booking engines and you can sometimes get a steal at the kh. i have paid as little as $125 and it will usually be considerably less the the major brands for a much nicer environment. check out the property even if you don't stay there. it has an amazing museum, good restaurants and a lot of artwork.

have fun.

I stayed at the Hilton. It was nice, not amazing but not bad. It was about 10 minutes to Campo. Ran me about $200 a night. If I went back to Curacao I would stay at the Hilton again.

Renaissance is a nice hotel. Please Google Curacao map and get directions from Renaissance to Campo Alegre. Driving time no more like 30 min one way. Take Nijlweg Ring (part of highway around Willemstad) , to roundabout at Palu Blancu (big gas station) and Franklin Roosveltweg street (direction Airport) to Campo. Search for large green leaf (Campo sign) sometimes at night it`s not lit. First time best drive during the day. Roads are OK, can be slippery after rain. And have fun!

She's all around, for those who like toys there are toys, for those who like straight sex there is straight sex.

Red light is always on, she'll be back to Curacao next year.

Just to let you know Curacao is nothing like DR or Philippines. Those are Meccas for mongering. But it is laid back and much more secure, relaxed and hassle free mongering. Nice beautiful resorts and beaches. The casinos are good too (in terms of BlackJack if you are a player). I read some reports about people not feeling safe, I did not feel that way. What I saw was the place is really devoid of people, there is very minimal traffic and people out at night. Driving rules are a little strange, esp. At the four way intersections which I did not completely figure out. Also you can get a Navigation system at the car rentals for $7 a day, there arent a whole lot of street signs and you could lose your way. But after a day or so you should have it figured out. I declined the CDW insurance for my car and just used my credit card coverage. I stayed with friends at an AI about 20 to 25 mins away and it was a bit of a drive to Campo. Next time if I went I would try to stay closer. Since I stayed with friends (not all mongers) I did not make as many visits nor spent as much time as I normally would have. You can easily hang around in Campo and talk to the girls all you want, after all they have no where else to go. After 3 or 4 days you might have had enough going to the same location, paying entry and all (6$).

Another side note, you cannot get V or C at the pharmacies without prescription if I am right. The security guys at the Campo might sell you Viagra or Kamagra for 10 bucks if thats something you'd need. Just my thoughts.

After many trips to Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and the Philippines, I'm heading off to Curacao this next week. This past January I was on a cruise that stopped in Curacao and I really liked Willimstad and the surrounding area (I found a great cab driver to show me the island). I read about the many coral reefs near the beaches and the readily available snorkeling sites. Since that is one of my favorite sports, I thought I needed to try this island out. I also found out about Campo Alegre and decided right then and there I had activies for the daytime (snorkeling) and other activities for the nightime (Campo Alegre). Since I like to cook my own lunches, I found a newly constructed one-bedroom apartment with views of the ocean, great pool, modern stainless steel appliances, nicely decorated, and half-way between downtown Willimstad and Campo Alegre. I found the apartment using.

www.curacao.com.

Signed up for eight nights with pick-up at the airport and return provided by the car rental folks. The same apartment complex was connected with a fairly new car rental company who are extremely friendly, new Kia Picante and provide insurance for a great price. Beats using taxes and much less expensive. I'm bringing my own snorkeling equipment and have gathered information on some of the best places to snorkel. I always purchase a few kindle books to read next to the pool including a new travel guide that received high marks on Amazon,"Curacao Travel Adventures" by Lynne Sullivan. I'll use that as a guide for restaurants and places to visit / tour as well as a little history of the culture. Thanks to my newly minted membership here at ISG I am on the learning curve about Curacao and Campo Alegre. Including some recent recommendations. Fortunately, I speak Spanish decent enough for good conversations and will have no problem with any language barriers of the chicas from Colombia, DR or other Spanish speaking places.

As you can see, I believe in doing my homework and scaling down the learning curve of a new place. However, I am always open to advice and suggestions since I realize that every place is a little different about what works best. If anyone has any addtional ideas, suggestions and / or advice, bring it on. In appreciation to all the info others have provided here, I'll do a trip report and take some photos (yes, I know no cameras allowed at Campo Alegre) to share here.

You will have a great time there, MA. I was only in Curacao once about three years ago for a conference but fond memories of Happy Camp. Went there every day for five days and had a great time each time. Rented a car and saw many beaches, too. Willemstadt is fun, too, and good meals.

I will be in Curaçao October 24-28 if anyone is down during that time lets hook up and Visit Campo.

[Kman1]

Thanks for the replies Pogostick and StRobert.

I found Campo to be an unique mongering experience. I liked the relaxed and secure environment. Wished they had a little bit more fiesta / party at night. There were only a few stage shows that were sporadic, starts and stops frequently, even on weekends. It could be dead during the daytime, I hardly saw anyone out at 2pm on Sat, also it was super hot and humid. Some more started coming out at 4pm. Most of them are out and around by 11pm into the night. I was walking around during the day not sure if I could knock on the closed doors.

About the girls, majority Columbinas, some Dominicanas. All Dominicanas were sweet and nice. Columbinas, some were bitchy some were nice. Lot of hot ones to be had.

The greatest thing about Campo was the price. 30$ for 30 mins (and no one is clock watching or knocking on the door). Most take their time and make sure you leche. I took upto 60+ mins at times, no issues. Some of them try to jack up the price to $40 (LOL) but that is clearly a warning sign for what is to come. (I was paying 120+$ for the similar girls at Panama). One slight drawback can be these girls are resident at Campo. 3 months or so avg and could be and are likely seeing many many clients per day, so their kitties could be a little beat up.

[HarigeHarry]

She will be in Aruba late November, you missed her in Curacao.

What's so special about her?

[Member #4279]

Does anyone know wher Ximena is at this moment?

She will be in Aruba late November, you missed her in Curacao.

[Pegasus99]

Just came from my first visit at Campo, wow so much unbelievable tasty ass up for the taking. Walked around for a bit after arriving, one Dominican chica caught my eye, but I was too slow and lost track of her. Will definitely look for her later on tonight when I go back again. Decided to sample this one Columbian chica, extremely attractive, huge breasts for such a tiny frame, and an ass to boot. Didn't think to get her room number, but her name was Estafania if I am spelling it right, will update with the correct room number after I sample her again. Didn't try to get much out of her by way of service because she was so hot that all I really wanted to do was just plow into her. Like other people mentioned on here since was Columbian she wanted a little more, but as sexy as she was I soo didn't care. Will get into true Monger form later on tonight. If anyone wants to team up and doesn't want to take a taxi just shoot me a message on here, I'll check just before I leave again. I am staying at the Floris Suite Hotel. Will update if some of the other numbers / girls are still golden that others mentioned a few weeks ago.

Earl, are you still in Curacao? I would be interested in meeting up for a visit together. If you have left already, can you send me the contact information for any of the ladies you mentioned (phone numbers)? Are you able to PM me?

Regards

[StRobert]

Gentlemen, I am visiting this island for a few days. I have couple of questions for the Curacao pros.

1. Are taxi's expensive? Am I better of renting a car? Will be staying 20 mins away from Campo in a resort. How about drunk driving issues?

2. I read several pages on the forum. It's all about Campo. I understand all the action is there. Are there any other mongering spots? How is street action in Punda? Are there any massage places, strip clubs, discos with freelancers?

Many thanks in advance.

I agree with Pogostick. Campo is the best (and IMHO great idea) : large tropical open air brothel, small bar, large strip bar, restaurant, restrooms, small store even doctor office. Local politicians and administration from Netherlands want to have regulated prostitution in one place. Outside Campo prostitution may be illegal and dangerous. After drinking beer drive slowly with caution. After rain road can be slippery. Have fun!
