Otrobanda

Regiones de Curaçao

En realidad, Curaçao sólo tiene una ciudad, la capital, Willemstad. Además, esta isla tropical del Caribe se divide inicialmente en dos: Banda Ariba y Banda Abou. La primera se refiere a la parte oriental de la isla y la segunda, principalmente a la occidental. Traducido, Banda Ariba significa el «lado alto» y Banda Abou el «lado bajo». Geográficamente esto no es del todo correcto, ya que en realidad hay muchos más paisajes montañosos que se encuentran en el lado de Abou.

Como en Curaçao no hay ciudades de verdad, es una isla con tipos de barrios (barios). Se pueden encontrar lugares con placas identificativas, como Julianadorp, el pueblo de Emma, San Willibrordus y Soto. Sin embargo, éstas también son sólo pequeñas regiones de Curaçao. Echemos un vistazo a algunos de los barrios más famosos. Esto también le dará una mejor idea de dónde se encuentran ciertas cosas en la isla.

    Punda

    Willemstad también consta de dos partes: Punda y Otrobanda. Punda significa «punto». El puente Queen Emma, también llamado puente de los pontones, conecta los dos barrios. Como en la mayoría de las ciudades, la mejor forma de conocer Punda es a pie. El centro de la ciudad cuenta con una amplia gama de tiendas de ropa, souvenirs, electrónica, restaurantes, bares y mucho más. Por cierto, este histórico barrio obrero es Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. En Wilhelminaplein, en Punda, encontrará las emblemáticas letras grandes Curaçao y DUSHI, donde podrá hacerse divertidas fotos de sus vacaciones.

    Otrobanda

    Otrobanda significa «el otro lado». Se eligió porque está al otro lado del agua. Desde este lado se contemplan los coloridos edificios de la Handelskade de Punda. En la Breedestraat encontrarás un montón de tiendas locales estupendas y puedes pasarte por el famoso Netto Bar a tomar una copa de ron verde. El barrio solía ser bastante notorio y estaba mal mantenido. Afortunadamente, esto ha cambiado en las últimas décadas. Poco a poco, los vecinos se encargan de que el barrio siga rehabilitándose.

    Pietermaai

    Pietermaai es un suburbio de Punda. Es un barrio de moda y vibrante que alberga una gran riqueza histórica. Esto se refleja en los edificios históricos y en la visibilidad de la cultura local. El barrio ha experimentado una amplia metamorfosis en los últimos años, y se nota. En este popular barrio hay de todo: restaurantes, cafés, boutiques y gente de todo tipo. En Pietermaai hay varios restaurantes y cafés que abren hasta tarde, por lo que la vida nocturna es muy animada.

    Pietermaai

    Scharloo

    Scharloo se encuentra al norte del Waaigat. Scharloo, el barrio colonial más joven y moderno, atrae a un público artístico. Es el barrio donde los creativos se sienten libres para expresarse. Esto queda bien ilustrado, entre otras cosas, por el impresionante «arte callejero» que verá casi por todas partes. Aunque personalmente no lo considere uno de los mejores barrios para alojarse en Curaçao, un paseo por esta zona reformada no debería faltar en su lista.

    Beautiful, nice and service-oriented boutique hotel in the heart of Willemstad.To be clear: If you book via Corendon: certainly not a 5* hotel (a good 4 is better). Missing some critical things. But they make up for it with great service!A quick summary of plus and minus pointsPlus:-Location. The heart of Willemstad. In the middle of restored Otrabanda. 15 minutes walk from Nieuwstraat. Nevertheless, very quiet.-Service: employees are super friendly and helpful.-Rooms. Rooms are clean and beds great. Nice shower. Are cleaned every day. And I mean really cleaned.-Nice poolside bar where there is a lot of chatting in the evening.-Adult only. Really nice.Minus:-No beach access. This is not something that you can blame the hotel for, but it is stated differently on the Corendon site. If you want to go to a beach, you will have to arrange that yourself. Otherwise they would have gotten 5 stars for location.-Swimming pool is quite small for 46 rooms. There are approximately 13 beds, so on busy check-out days: do the math.-Breakfast. They have outsourced breakfast to a restaurant nearby (Bario). Not a buffet but a la carte. During our stay we suffered from long waiting times. Kura management then took steps and things improved.-No gym.Extras:-If you stay here, it is wise to arrange a car for at least a few days.-Be informed by the hotel management about where to eat/be etc etc.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica in Curacao. This boutique hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooms were not only nice but also impeccably clean, which is always a priority for me when traveling. The location is fantastic, being so close to Brionplein and Punda, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings.The ambiance at Kura Botanica is truly special. It radiates charm and offers a tranquil atmosphere that made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I would highly recommend Kura Botanica to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained boutique hotel in Curacao. It's a gem that ensures a delightful stay in this beautiful destination.

    Amazing boutique adult only hotel. One suggestion ... full length mirrors. Excellent service. Kind staff. Free cappuccinos if you ask nicely. Very close to all of Willemstad. Many amazing restaurants near by. The retail shops had such great selections of clothing and souvenirs. Highly recommend!!

    Hotel with a beautiful garden, in the middle of a historic village. The service from the staff has always been friendly and multilingual. The room we stayed in was new and the bed was excellent!However, some problems were observed. They didn't replace the amenities for our last night, nor did they even collect a towel that was on the floor.The shower is also not separated from the rest of the bathroom, there is no curtain or shower stall which makes the bathroom wet. There was also a lack of support for soap and shampoo, which are on the floor.The parking lot is far away and you need to either walk with your bags or take your car close to the entrance and then return to the parking lot.But the worst thing for me was the breakfast. it is served in another hotel and there is no variety, it doesn't change between days, it is very simple and contained. You can just have a coffee and a juice and not repeat it. On the first day we were treated very poorly, even harshly, which made us not want to go back the next day.

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!
