Outside the Hurricane belt and Just 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela, exotic Curacao offers world-class diving, fine restaurants, lively casinos, nightlife, and duty-free shopping. Curacao has a rich history, impressive architecture, and a warm friendly diverse culture. The climate is warm, sunny and arid with average rainfall about 20 inches a year. The temperatures are in the 80's year round. Curacao's west coast is a diver's paradise. Renowned for calm waters and crystal clear visibility, pristine reefs with abundant marine life. Sunset Waters' house reef is over a kilometer long and drops dramatically from 30 feet to 130 feet just yards offshore.

All Oceanfront Terrrace Rooms, have air conditioning, satellite TV, phones, two double beds or two queen beds, full bath, and a private terrace.


Paddle an ocean kayak or paddleboat around the calm waters of Santa Marta Bay . Get up a game of beach volleyball. Snorkel the marked trail and beyond. Challenge yourself on the 18-hole miniature golf course. The freshwater pool has a sun heated whirlpool, swim up tiki bar and kids pool. There is also a lighted tennis court and children's play area. Enjoy an ecological hike or nature walk or go to nearby Christoffel Park, a beautiful 4,500 acre garden and wildlife preserve to horseback ride, mountain bike or climb to the highest point on the island for a breathtaking view.

Enjoy casual open air dining with delightful ocean views. Let Sunset Waters' talented chefs tempt your palate with an ever-changing menu of new cuisines at every meal. Sunset Waters' signature theme nights, like Beach BBQ Thursday, mean bountiful buffets and creative ala Carte dishes. Nightly entertainment, creative bar tenders and attentive servers make it all memorable.
