Curacao

[OceanDiver59]

I have been a loyal visitor to Sint Maarten for 6 or 7 years; visiting 3 to 4 times a year. I have been reading the Curacao thread with interest all the time thinking Campo Allegro would be a fun place to visit. With conditions being what they are in Sint Maarten I am considering changing my planned November trip to Curacao. I have a couple of non-mongering questions for those experienced with the island.

1. Is it possible to pay for most things with US dollars or is it better to exchange money to the local currency? (Guilders I believe).

2. Do people drive on the right side of the road? (as opposed to the left not the wrong side).

Any advice would be welcomed.

Yes you can pay with US dollars but I prefer to use Guilders. You can get both from the ATM there. They drive on the right side but it pays to be careful.

You can pay either guilders or dollars both accepted. But I suggest better use guilders in Campo then dollars. People tend to overcharge when they see you have them to spend.

And yes right driving is the norm. My man you good to go Campo is still the cheapest brothel in the Caribbean.

1- dollars are accepted everywhere. Guilders are better to use so that the locals and chicas don't try to take advantage of you.

2- driving is easy, and on the right side of the road.

You are correct. I was there not long ago and reported the quality this trip was lacking. The girls keep coming and going, so you never know. But most of them disappear before Christmas and go home. There should be a lot of girls there in November trying to make their money before their Christmas break.

I did find a gal in 237, Valentina, who's got great reverse CG skills. Great view, great effort. Cute, short Colombian who would be appreciated by an ass man, far before a tits guy.

She was energetic and willing to do most of what I asked.

Hi there,

Any one been to Campo lately? I was there there the other night. Wasn't super impressed by the selection, though there were a few good options. Wondering if anyone has a room numbers or names of high quality chicas? Preferably ones that speak English.

It is good that Curacao is below hurricane belt. St. Maarten airport and island are severely affected by hurricane Irma. Link photos http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...cane-Irma.html.

I used to company Ace. But that seems to be a rented name by a local company that I think is called Boric. The price was good and I had no problems. It was an Automatic with air conditioning. The only thing that slightly sucks is they don't have an office at the airport. I found (barely) someone in the parking lot waiting for me with the car, then she drove me to the office which is towards the main city. The place they pick you up is near where you would pick up your rental car, but across the driving lanes in the parking lot. They didn't try to sell me a bunch of unneeded crap, so I have to give them a thumbs up for that.

Thanks for all information!

I only went there twice last week. I met a 30 YO Colombian from Pereira. She had a really, really nice natural body. But, I could tell she probably had the lipo done, which doesn't bother me at all. The rest of her was nice and real. I liked her because there was zero rush in time. It kind of felt like a no time limit deal with her. Anyways, service was pretty decent, but no kissing, and only CBJ. I think she hinted I could pay extra for extra services. But I was fine with the 50 Guilders price. After I seen her the first time I saw her 2 days later and I said I just want to relax first, she said no problem, and we just hung out in her room for awhile before getting busy. For tips I just gave her 20,000 Colombian pesos both times. In places like this you can still get rid of your Colombian pesos. Once in Aruba I fully paid a Colombian with Colombian pesos. She is in room 258. Overall, I think think the girls there at the moment are not as good as when I was in Curacao last year. I've been going to Curacao once a year for 4 years now. I was not too excited with Campo Alegre this trip. But, I was just in Colombia for almost 3 months, so that is probably why.

Wow! Car rental $ 132 for 7 days. Great price. Do you have automatic transmission and air condition in this car? Can you give the name of the company that rents these cars? I also experienced tailgating, I do not know whether it is locals drivers or other tourists. I do not pay attention and drive the car at my speed. For driving directions instead of maps. I use landmarks like buildings, signboards, etc. For me this is better than reading street names.

17 Venezuelan "Trago Girls" Arrested.

WILLEMSTAD. The multi-disciplinary team led by the Inspection Section of Curacao's Ministry of Economic Development during a control at the Nana snack bar detained 17 Venezuelan so-called "trago girls" who tried to run away when the officials arrived.

The women were working without an employment permit to get male customers to spend more on drinks. It turned out the establishment lacked a liquor licence too and rented rooms in the back for prostitution, so it was closed.

Clients could buy the ladies a small cup of Tip Top syrup diluted with water for five Antillean guilders (the price of a whole bottle in the store), of which they then got four in the form of a chip to be collected at the end of the shift.

The team also went to Sabor Uniko Restaurant on Metselaarsweg, which did not have the proper licence either and was illegally renting rooms there to Venezuelans. The dirty and unhygienic place has been shut down as well.

I just got here a few days ago. I don't see a taxi very often. There is also no Uber or anything like that here. I'm guessing you can make a call to the taxi company. But I heard they are expensive. I just rented a car here for 7 days, only $132 USD. It's not that hard to drive here. The only issue with driving is it's not easy to always know what is a one-way street, and the locals will drive past you, which doesn't bother me, but some locals will just get on you ass and not change lanes to go past you. Also in most areas the streets cross each other at weird angles. This is my forth time here and I just realized I should not make a right turn at a red light. If you use your car just once a day you will surely save money by renting a car here.

I have been to Curacao and definitely don't like to drive there. If I stayed at the Hilton (where I can go diving during the day without the need to drive anywhere), the drive only looks to be about 15 minutes. Any thoughts on taxis / Uber to do my nightly mongering? Thanks.

Don't taxi in Curacao, Period! Unless you want to be robbed by them ofcourse.

I hope it is the last time we have to answer this on this forum.

Besides using a taxi or rental car what are the other options for getting around Curacao during a short visit?
