Breezes Resorts

[De Dragon]

Considering making a trip to Curacao later this month and I'm looking at Breezes as an option. I see from some other older threads people suggesting it, but anyone who's stayed recently care to give a review? Thanks

[equipped2ripp]

I left there just this Sunday.

The place isn't how it used to be what it was the first time I went in 2004, it's a bit older now.

Good to relax and have drinks. You would have fun if you're into water activities - kayaking, snorkeling, swimming and diving. You can do a dive without the PADI certification as well. Also, there's rockclimbing and the trapeze if you're into that. In addition, there's jetskis for rent right next door to the resort, a 30min rental for 2 people is $85US.

There's also the shuttle to Willemstad if you're going to shop. There isn't much to buy in the capital though, you might get a couple shirts, jeans and souvenirs and that's about it. Don't expect anything spectacular. Just make sure to list your party at the guest services desk opposite to the check-in counter if you want to use the shuttle to go to the capital, which is like 10 minutes away.

If you're into food and drinks, I say go ahead with it. There isn't any Johnnie Walker though, you would get stuff like Jack Daniels and beer is Amstel.

If you're booking, go with Phill Tours:
http://www.philltours.com/home/destinations.html

They're the cheapest to go with, a complete package with them double occupancy is around $4000 (airfare and accommodation). I paid $7400 through Amral's (using LIAT and oceanview room). I only knew that Phill Tours does a Curacao tour from speaking with other Trinis at the resort. The reason they have the package cheaper is because they charter a full flight to Curacao, and not via LIAT or Surinam Airways.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions let me know.

Thought of phill tours first, but they haven't got anything for the dates that I want. I'm looking at Travel Concepts, its like 17K for 4 of us for a 5 nights. I normally wing it wherever I go, but with two kids you've got to have that reliability that an all inclusive offers.

[equipped2ripp]

5 nights at $17,000 for 4 persons ain't bad at all! That's $4250 a person. My package was for 4 nights, Wednesday to Sunday.

I say go for it, you would get your money worth.

Also, if you're with the kids, make sure to visit the Sea Aquarium.

chartours also has a good rate on the hotel

[noshownogo]

good info guys, looking to hit curacao then aruba in one shot soon

[MANIAC]

I am sure that Breezes is great for a vacation based on reviews .. however, I prefer Aruba for a Vacation any day .. The Island itself has that "vacation feeling" alot more than Curacao ....

^ very close to alot of the shopping areas and food places (good variety)....in the event you not keen on eating hotel food everyday...as mentioned before, casino is downstairs...

hotel has a white sand pool / beach built in to it....great view...

taxi / transport in curacao is expensive !


don't go to the 'freezone' - unless you are a wholesaler / retailer....

If you go, make a reservation for an ATV Tour.
Cross the road, and get to take a nice drive to the North of the island,see the Windmill Farm, visit some caves.
If you're adventurous, push the limit and have some fun in the sand dunes along the way.

Also, if you're with the kids, make sure to visit the Sea Aquarium.

resort opposite there is have sum bess parties on d beach

[MANIAC]

Curacao also have one of the best Drag Racing Track/Facility in the Caribbean, so you never know if they may have an event on when you are there .. you can always check it out since they usually have cars from Curacao, Aruba, St Maarten & St Croix doing some rediculous times !!!

nice review hoss......tnx for de info

[2sweet]

Does anyone know of any travel agency that does good packages for Breezes during july/august? Phill's tours had some extremely reasonable ones but they are no longer doing them.

[equipped2ripp]

Calling around might be the best thing to do...
Or ask Phill where they are doing their tours this July/August, maybe you would get a deal on another destination. Who knows.
