Top Beaches to Explore in Westpunt, Curaçao

When planning your beach-hopping escapades, Westpunt offers an array of remarkable beaches that promise unforgettable experiences. Here are some of our top recommendations:

Klein Curaçao

A day trip to Klein Curaçao is a must-do during your vacation. This small, uninhabited island is just off the coast of Curaçao and features a pearly white beach surrounded by blue sea with a spectacular reef and a beautiful underwater world. Klein Curaçao is only accessible by boat, with the crossing taking between 45 minutes and 2 hours, depending on which boat you take. Whether you’re snorkeling, diving, or simply lounging on the pristine sand, Klein Curaçao offers a serene escape from the mainland.

Cas Abao Beach

With its turquoise water, waving palm trees, and bright white sand, Cas Abao Beach is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Whether you want to swim, snorkel, or tan, Cas Abao Beach has it all. As a full-service beach, it offers secured parking, restrooms, showers, and lockers for your valuables. There is also a restaurant & beach bar, and a palapa where you can enjoy relaxing massages. For those seeking both relaxation and adventure, Cas Abao Beach is the perfect destination.

Grote Knip (Kenepa Grande)

Grote Knip, also known as Kenepa Grande, is one of the most well-known beaches on the island, and with good reason! This wide, sandy beach features crystal clear waters and boasts excellent views. After parking your car in the spacious parking lot, you’ll be welcomed by stunning ocean views as you walk down the stairs to the beach. For an even more memorable experience, consider combining your visit to Grote Knip with a trip to Kleine Knip (Small Knip), which is just a short drive away.

We really enjoyed our stay at Scuba Lodge this summer. The hotel is located close to the city center and there are nice restaurants close by. The staff is very welcoming and open to help out at any time. We liked the infinity pool even though it was a bit small. The rooms were clean. Overall the hotel is in a good condition.

the negative: There is construction during the week right next to the hotel which bothered us when we were chilling at the pool. On the weekend there was loud music at night from the bar next door. Lastly, we do not recommend using the loundry service as they overcharged us without any reasonable explanation.

Scuba Lodge was everything because of the staff! From the time I checked in, to the first welcome drink and throughout the week, the staff were the BEST! All of them made me feel welcome, safe, and well taken care of. The rooms were clean, spacious and beautiful. Housekeeping would come in every day and clean the room, thoroughly. The location was about 20 minutes from the airport and within walking distance of many cute restaurants. The restaurant at Scuba Lodge was delicious. The service was quick and everyone was so nice and accommodating. Right next door was another amazing little restaurant that served breakfast and lunch. The pastries they had available were out of this world.

The only recommendation I have for Scuba Lodge is to allow their staff to wear shorts. Jeans do not fit with the beach theme, they are hot and uncomfortable. I could not imagine having to work in such heat in jeans! The happiness of the staff is just as important as my happiness as a guest. These people are the reason I plan to return. They deserve any little perk they can be given. I was so sad to leave them but knew I would return! Scuba Lodge management, PLEASE take care of your top-tier staff because they represent your facilities perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and I will see you guys soon, hopefully in shorts!!!! :)

This place is great. Right next to an amazing dive shop, clean rooms, great food in their restaurant, and great service from all staff everywhere. Everything you need for a dive trip! And their house reef is awesome which you can dive at any time

The accommodation is beautiful, our room was very comfortable, fantastic views and a good location. The restaurant downstairs was good and the restaurant staff were friendly and helpful, as were the cleaning staff.
There is very easy access into the sea and it is a short walk to some great restaurants and local sights.
However, the welcome on arrival and the hotel reception did not impress, less than helpful, no welcome drink and lack of interest in providing any support. I have honestly experienced more welcoming receptions from hotels at motorway service stations.
If I am lucky enough to return to Curacao, I would probably look elsewhere.

The scuba lodge is perfectly located in Willemstad. The infinity pool is amazing for sunsets and was barely used by others during our stay.

The staff (reception, cleaning and maintenance) were beyond helpful and so so nice!

The unlimited number of free street parking outside of the hotel is so convenient and was a huge bonus.

Highly recommend!

I MISS THIS PLACE! I stayed here a little less than a year ago and I think about it all the time. It was exactly what I was looking for, not a big chain hotel but instead very cozy and welcoming also a great location- walkable to shops and restaurants and also centrally located so drives to beaches weren't terrible. All the staff was very friendly, at check in we got a small tour of the hotel. The restaurant was so good we had breakfast there almost daily (coffee is soooo good!) and the view is just perfect the tables are right on the water. Pools are small but I'm not there for the pool I'm there to go to the beautiful beaches but also the pool is still nice with a beautiful view over the water! We had probably one of the cheaper rooms but we were perfectly pleased with it... it was a little dark but we didn't mind we just went to the many shared balcony areas and ate or had a sunset drink (also we never even had to share the space with others so it felt like a private balcony anyways) The whole space is just colorful and happy I loved it.

I absolutely loved staying at this place. The staff was very nice. The room was clean. The location was pretty nice as well. Maybe a little bit of walk from the main area, but not more than 10 minutes. The restaurant that is located in the hotel was very nice as well. The pool area was pretty cool and I love that it has a little balcony area outside of your room that is shared by all the guests, and you can step out of your room to just enjoy the beautiful weather. I would definitely Recommend this please and I just want to say thank you so much for a beautiful Stay.
