Curaçao's Grand Knip Beach

Willemstad, Curacao's capital city

Development dive center and water sports center,
64-slip marina with mega-yacht dock, a beachside

Restaurant and Bar, as well as The Spa, featuring
a private Cascade Pool. Ask your AAA Travel
Specialist about all-inclusive packages available.

CURACAO
The largest of the Netherland Antilles islands,
Curaçao is known for its gorgeous beaches, but there's
plenty more to do on the cosmopolitan island than
just catch some rays. Nearly 40 beaches ring the coast,
but with its pastel-painted promenade and colonial
architecture, the capital city of Willemstad is Caribbean
chic at its best. Downtown Willemstad, with its Dutch
and Portuguese-inspired buildings, is a UNESCO World
Heritage site. Take an architectural walking tour with a
local history buff who can show you some hidden gems
you wouldn't be likely to stumble across on your own.
Not many hotels can boast they have a museum
on their grounds, but Kura Hulanda Hotel & Spa is
not your typical hotel. Formerly a wealthy estate,
the hotel in Willemstad is home to a museum that
documents the cultures of Curaçao - from the
origin of man to the West African empires through
the middle passage to the Americas.
The properties's sister hotel, the Kura Hulanda
Lodge & Beach Club may only be 30 minutes from

the airport, but guests who check in to one of the 42
guest rooms or 32 suites on the property will feel like
they've found their own private island hideaway. The
resort is a prime diving destination, offering an onsite dive shop offering snorkeling, scuba diving and
daily excursions to some of the island's top dive sites.
There are two pools and paddleboats, kayaks and
sunfish sailboats are also available for rental. Guests
who want to stay topside can check out the fitness
center or opt for a luxurious poolside massage.
Ask your AAA Travel Specialist for details on how
you can add an expedition to explore the island's
limestone and coral caves to your vacation.
Studios and suites feature flat-screen TVs, free
internet access and bright décor. Studios and suites
include kitchen facilities and most can be connected
for larger families. Each of the three restaurants on
the property, along with the bar, overlook the ocean
and amazing views of the sunset (from this property
on the western most point of the island) and provide
the perfect setting for winding down your day.
When families choose Travel Impressions, they
know that the all-inclusive offerings ensure a
vacation within their budget, a range of activities
that appeal to the range of ages in the group, and
worry-free planning. In the Caribbean, that worryfree feeling is amplified thanks to the warm trade
winds and relaxing island vibe that makes the region
feel like heaven on earth.

Make time for an island getaway in 2017. Call 1-800-750-5386 or visit your AAA office to speak with a AAA
