Dreaming of a Caribbean escape but worried about breaking the bank? Curaçao awaits! Let's explore a super-budget apartment find and share essential tips for an unforgettable affordable Curaçao adventure.
The $28 Apartment: Paradise with Quirks
My quest for the cheapest Curaçao apartment led me to a place just 10 minutes from two public beaches and a vibrant park – ideal for sports lovers. Mambo Beach, with free access after 4 PM, is an easy stroll away. Colourful Willemstad is a 30-minute walk for history buffs.
Now, the reality check: while it was the most budget-friendly option, this apartment wasn't perfect. It offered a cool shower (refreshing in the Caribbean heat!), a kitchen for cooking, and two bedrooms for longer stays. However, there was no hot water, no washing machine, and electricity costs were extra.
Detailed videos from inside the apartment can be found in the video above.
