dst Posted August 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2016 We will be in Curacao in January and last trip we all took a private taxi to Cas Abo beach which we really enjoyed, wondering if anyone can recommend another beach? We want an out of the way quiet place with restrooms and a bar - not a lot to ask huh ;) Suggestions...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenDomer Posted August 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I suggest Playa Porto Mari. See my response and photo (#4) in the following thread - http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=43805333#post43805333 Beautiful beach, out of the way, excellent snorkeling, restaurant, bar, and restrooms. I'll be back to Curacao in Feb 2017 and plan on returning. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenDomer Posted August 3, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thank you so much - definitely will check it outHow far is it from the pier, did you taxi, do you have a rough idea of cost It's about a 25-30 minute taxi ride from the pier. Taxis are lined up right outside the gates. I believe the fare was about $80 round trip for myself and my wife. Maybe make some friends on your cruise to share the fare. You can tell the driver to return to the beach at a prearranged time for pick-up back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are traveling with a group of twelve so a van or two is going to be needed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted August 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It's about a 25-30 minute taxi ride from the pier. Taxis are lined up right outside the gates.

You might want to consider simply renting a car (Avis is right at the port) for about $60. You can then go where you want, when you want, without worrying about high taxi costs and whether they will return at the right time. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artvlay Posted August 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Does anyone have info on renting a car in Curacao? Is there parking near the beach? How are road signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bup1224 Posted August 14, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) There is an Avis at the pier but you must reserve in advance. There is parking at/near all the beaches we have been to. Road signs can be hit or miss as there seems to be some kind of road construction all the time. Even though we have driven in Curacao many times, we still get GPS Edited August 14, 2016 by bup1224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisCruiser2 Posted August 27, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Is the taxi fare pp or for the whole cab (e.g., if there's 4 of us, still $80 roundtrip)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
