TTEllis Posted October 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Via email I spoke last night with Rob Debekker, General Manager of the Santa Barbara Beach and Golf Resort. Explained to him I was trying to get back to the island next year, he said it was highly unlikely the resort will be open next year. It's going to be another 12-18 months minimum before they open up. A serious bummer for those of us trying to plan another trip back to Curacao. I told Rob I would get back with him after the new year to see if things had changed but for next year the Santa Barbara doesn't look good.

Keep in mind this resort was having financial problems before the pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTEllis Posted June 14, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted June 14, 2021 As of 6-1-21, this awesome resort has been closed permanently. What a loss. Heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueMo Posted July 13, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The beach resort is closed but the golf is open. https://www.resortforaday.com/santa-barbara-beach-resort-golf-package-curacao/ sells a package that includes transportation, rental clubs, boxed lunch, cart and greens fees. Has anybody done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTEllis Posted June 19, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The Santa Barbara is now Sandals Curacao. They sell day passes to cruise ship visitors just like the Sandals on St. Lucia do. If anyone has anything new to add when it comes to spending my day at this resort again, any help would be appreciated. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
