The most “Dutch” of the Caribbean's Netherlands Antilles, Curacao is a typically beautiful Caribbean island - minus the crowd. Its laid back nature and natural harbor have gotten the attention of yachters for years, but much of the general tourist population has still not discovered the island. Since the island tends to be overlooked by many tourists, it remains a perfectly tranquil getaway with all the perks and amenities of a more populated island, less the off-putting masses. The locals on Curacao are notably friendly, and posses a healthy mixture of energy and the well established relaxed mannerisms of the islands.
