We found the most fantastic little beachfront venue to enjoy our lunch – the Scuba Lodge. We sat in the shade of a palm tree with the sound of the ocean lapping just a few feet away, kicked our shoes off, dug our toes into the sand and ordered an ice-cold El Presidente beer and a sharing platter.

The Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao has long been home to some of the Caribbean’s coolest beach bars. But now the island has another hot new beach bar. It’s called City Beach 88, and it just opened its doors in the Pietermaai District.
Since my initial visit, I have returned to Curaçao now six time. When I decided to return to Curaçao this time, Scuba Lodge & Ocean Suites was my choice. I decided on this hotel due to its proximity to downtown Willemstad and because it has a Curaçao Tourist Board approved dive shop.
Right now, Curaçao is the Caribbean’s number one scuba diving destination. Everything is here, from 65 spectacular dive sites, a broad collection of top-level dive shops and marvelous underwater beauty. That’s along with some of the Caribbean’s top dive hotels, including the world-famous Lions Dive, the upstart Scuba Lodge and the Marazul, among others.
