Landhuis Daniel

Curaçao


This ragtag collection of rooms and apartments is in a pleasingly quiet location. The accommodations aren't exactly inspiring, but it's a homey place, surrounded by birds and nature, with easy access to the West End. Look for the orchid- and bougainvillea-lined entrance just past the turnoff to Willibrordus. There's an excellent restaurant on-site.
