Curacao Nightlife And Clubs: Emerald Casino, Club Facade, And Hook\'s Hut

A vacation on Curacao places one under royal blue skies beside sparkling turquoise waters that wash lazily up on white sand beaches. Tourists on Curacao laze blissfully in hammocks, sit mesmerized in beach chairs or play in the water during the day. It feels good to relax and recharge in such an idyllic setting after a long night enjoying the Curacao nightlife and clubs which are just as spectacular as the natural beauty of the island.
Curacao is the largest of the five Netherlands Antilles islands and is situated southeast of Puerto Rico. Curacao nightlife and clubs are primarily located in Willemstad, the largest city, with a population of around 135k people. If Curacao nightlife and clubs do not make one want to rush out and schedule a vacation, then perhaps the wonderful architecture of Willemstad will. Many buildings are constructed in Dutch colonial style and line the harbor in brilliant Caribbean colors of blues, pinks and yellows making a stroll along the port a delight to the eyes. Curacao nightlife and clubs offer gambling, dancing, fine food and drink, even SCUBA and beach lolling, all on a Caribbean island isolated from the cares of the world.
Curacao nightlife and clubs hearken back to the rowdy days when the port of Curacao served pirates. Music, dancing, great food and golden sunsets punctuate the party atmosphere that energizes the Curcacao nightlife and clubs. Many clubs feature jazz on their musical menu, but there are also high voltage discos thumping and bumping with techno where dancers will find their groove. There are ten casinos in the Curacao hotels that offer games of chance to travelers 18 and older. One of the wonderful things about a trip out into the Curacao nightlife and clubs is that dress is casual. In other words, just dress like a parrot head at a Jimmy Buffet concert.
The Marriott Beach Resort and Emerald Casino is one of the fine places to experience Curacao nightlife and clubs. The Emerald Casino is uniquely designed as an outdoor courtyard with all the games of chance a self-respecting pirate would enjoy such as blackjack, roulette, poker, craps, mini baccarat and slots. The Emerald Casino is on Piscadera Bay just outside Willemstad and is a resort that stands out among the Curacao nightlife and clubs by offering comprehensive services for guests including golf, fitness, recreation and even babysitting.
The Curacao nightlife and clubs offer a lively dance scene that is centered in Willemstad's upscale Salinja district. This is where Club Facade, one of the most popular discos is located. Techno beats keep everyone moving in Curacao nightlife and clubs. At Club Facade one can boogie the night away on three dance floors. Carnival (in February) is when the energy in Curacao nightlife and clubs is at its peak; and the music will likely include native African beats and lyrics sung in the distinct island language of Papiamentu.
Curacao nightlife and clubs do not only cater to the night owls of the tourist scene. A favorite place to drink the hair of the dog or to enjoy SCUBA diving in Curacao's warm Caribbean waters is Hook. Hook is located at a beach known as Hook's Hut where tourists can find diving, dining and drinking. Hook's Hut is known as a must see among Curacao nightlife and clubs where one can enjoy great food and an unparalleled view of the Piscadera Bay and the magical sunsets.
Curacao offers travelers a truly unique experience in terms of location, accommodations, history and activities. Located in the blue Caribbean far from the cares of the world, it is possible to completely relax and enjoy the Curacao nightlife and clubs at night, and its pristine beaches and waters during the day. Curacao offers a glimpse of Dutch colonial history and a taste of tropical hospitality so don a straw hat, lather on the sunscreen and head south.
