caresse............you are responding to a post that is almost a year old.
whether the person thinks curacao is old, dirty and mountainous is that person's opinion.
we all have our opinions--you--me--and queen.
that's whay makes this forum interesting.
btw, i have been to curacao 2x and to add to queen's list, i add =
downtown seedy/ feeling of unsafe downtown .
i did find the residents very friendly, the restaurants good and the beaches nice and the 2 resorts that i stayed at lovely.

The remarks made by “Queen”: “Don't waste your time and money to go there. There is nothing to see. Very old, mountainous, and not too clean.” offer a poor, sorry and rather painful depiction of this beautiful Caribbean island where I happen to come from.
You missed out on the real stuff dear Queen!
I hope that all my fellow culture-loving earthlings whom read this message may feel the warmth and open invitation of the richly colorful people we are, ready to pamper you with the luscious and impossibly contagious laughter, inherent to people who live under the sun and in the knowledge that heaven just MAY BE… right here on earth!
Curacao is rich in art, our heritage of Dutch Architecture is a unique sight you will not find anywhere else in the world and just the fact that we are a thriving melting pot of over 40 different nationalities living peacefully and happily together on a tiny spec of 144 sq km’s of land, makes us a living example of what mother earth would desire to fill her entire lap with.
I live in Aruba for six years now. After having trotted around various parts of the world before I could decide settle down, I found the spot where I plan to stay! This island is an elegant lady with intricate style, swaying hips, and luscious lips -equally as beautiful as Curacao, though different, with her own character and deliciously unique in her very own special way.
This here is paradise people, and I thank the All that is Good for the fact that I was born in the Dutch Caribbean and dare say I speak for all my fellow-islanders when I welcome every one to come and enjoy with us, -open arms, huge smile and all- the infinite bliss our islands have to offer.
With warmth and kindness, Caresse B. Isings
