Discover the heart of Willemstad on a guided walking tour that brings the city’s history, art, and culture to life.

What can you expect?

Wander through vibrant streets, explore UNESCO-listed neighborhoods, and see the island from a local’s perspective.

Where will this tour take you?

Your journey begins at Brionplein, the lively square in Otrobanda. Here, you’ll learn how Curaçao was discovered, why it became an important base for the Dutch West India Company (WIC), and how the island’s past shaped the communities we see today. Continue into the quiet, cobblestoned paths of Kura Hulanda, where you’ll hear stories about Curaçao’s heritage, the fight for freedom, and the ongoing efforts to protect the island’s environment, including the surprising tale of the invasive lionfish. As you wander deeper into Otrobanda, the city bursts into color. This once-overlooked neighborhood is now an outdoor art museum filled with murals and creative street pieces that celebrate local culture. Along the way, stop by a local woman’s home to enjoy a homemade Curaçao dessert, a simple, authentic moment you won’t find on most tours. Cross the Queen Emma Bridge, the beloved “Swinging Old Lady”, and take in postcard views of the Handelskade’s iconic waterfront. It’s one of the most photographed spots on the island for a reason. Once in Punda, Willemstad’s oldest district, you’ll explore landmarks like the Governor’s Palace, the floating market, and Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue, the oldest synagogue still in use in the Americas. The streets here blend Dutch architecture with Caribbean charm, creating a unique atmosphere you’ll instantly feel. Your tour wraps up at Wilhelmina Plein, a peaceful square perfect for relaxing and snapping a photo with the famous Curaçao sign, a final moment to reflect on everything you’ve discovered.

I had an amazing 5-day stay at Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort and truly enjoyed every moment. The service throughout the hotel was consistently good, everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The man-made beach was such a cute and unique touch! It was clean, relaxing, and beautifully set up. I especially loved that they offer food and drink service right on the beach, it made the experience feel even more luxurious and convenient. The towel service was seamless and appreciated as well. One of the best parts of staying here is the location. It’s within close walking distance to so many restaurants, shops, and attractions, which made exploring so easy and enjoyable. Plus, it’s not a very far drive to and from the airport, which made arrival and departure stress-free. Overall, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I’m already looking forward to staying here again the next time I return to Curaçao.

I absolutely love this location! The staff are genuinely warm, welcoming, and truly invested in making sure we enjoy every moment of our stay. This was my third visit through Wind Creek Bethlehem, and my host Dylan always goes above and beyond to make each trip feel extra special. What stands out the most is how the staff recognize us and even remember our names. As repeat guests, that level of personal attention makes us feel truly valued—it’s like being treated as a priority every time we visit, and I appreciate that more than I can say. I’d like to give a special thank you to Angie and Sjarivienska, along with the wonderful breakfast staff—Isabel, Martina, and Leny—who made us feel right at home. Their kindness and attentiveness really made a difference. At the casino, the service was just as impressive. The ladies at the cashier greeted me with beautiful smiles and even remembered my name, although I didn’t get a chance to note theirs—I truly appreciate them. Mr. Siegfried and Giandra were also consistently friendly and welcoming. Bianca at the infinity pool delivered outstanding service with a smile, and overall, the customer service throughout the entire property was exceptional. It’s people like them who make me want to come back again and again—sooner rather than later!

This resort is an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found a gem. The location is unbeatable—perfectly situated to explore the island, yet secluded enough to feel like a private sanctuary. The highlight has to be the infinity pool. The view overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea is simply world-class; it’s the perfect spot to catch a sunset with a cocktail in hand. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the extraordinary staff. They embody genuine Curaçaoan hospitality—always greeting you with a warm smile and going above and beyond to ensure every detail of your stay is perfect. Whether it was the spotless, beautifully designed rooms or the delicious breakfast with a view, everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for luxury, comfort, and the warmest welcome in the Caribbean, look no further. I can’t wait to come back!

Our stay at the Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The suite was beautiful—spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed—with a stunning view that made it hard to leave the room. It struck the perfect balance between comfort and luxury. The resort itself is outstanding, but what truly elevates the experience is the vibe. The infinity pool is absolutely breathtaking, with its unique sandy bottom creating a beach-like feel while still offering the elegance of a pool setting. Service around the pool was prompt and attentive, with staff consistently checking in without being intrusive. We were fortunate to be there during King’s Day, and it turned into one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. The energy throughout the island was incredible—vibrant, welcoming, and full of life. The locals were genuinely friendly, and both the hotel and downtown entertainment were top-tier. It added a whole new dimension to an already fantastic stay. This was our third trip to Curaçao, and without question, it won’t be our last. A special mention must go to Riangelo, who truly made this trip unforgettable. His level of hospitality went far beyond what we expected—he made us feel completely at home, like we were part of his family. It’s rare to come across someone who leaves such a lasting impression, and he is a big reason we will absolutely be returning.

The staff was all very nice and helpful. The hotel is great with lots of amenities, especially the “artificial” beach/infinity pool. The views are phenomenal and everything is very clean. I would highly recommend this hotel.
