Choosing where to stay in Curacao is largely a choice between the main tourist areas. Each area suits a different type of traveler. Whether you’re looking for beaches,<\/a> culture and activities<\/a> or peace and quiet, the location will define much of your experience. <\/p>\n\n

Best areas to stay in Curacao<\/h2>\n\n

Mambo Beach area \u2014 the best location for most visitors<\/h3>\n\n

The Mambo Beach area combines direct beach access with a full entertainment strip (restaurants, bars, beach clubs, shops) and easy access to Willemstad (15 min), Jan Thiel (15 min) and the west coast beaches (45 min). If this is your first visit to Curacao and you want to be in the heart of the action without losing beach access, Mambo Beach is the right choice. Bon Bini Resort is located at Bapor Kibra z\/n \u2014 a 2-minute walk from Mambo Beach Boulevard and Cabana Beach. Private bungalows for 2 to 6 people<\/a> starting from $141 per night. All guests receive free beach access to Cabana Beach, including a guaranteed beach bed when booking directly. <\/p>\n\n

Jan Thiel \u2014 quiet east coast bay<\/h3>\n\n

Jan Thiel is a bay on the east coast, about 15 minutes from Mambo Beach, with its own beach, marina and a growing restaurant scene. A bit quieter and less commercialized than Mambo Beach. <\/p>\n\n

Willemstad \u2014 for city and culture lovers<\/h3>\n\n

Staying in or near the center of Willemstad puts you right in the middle of the island’s most interesting city. However, Willemstad does not have a beach within walking distance; you will need a car or taxi. <\/p>\n\n

West Coast (near Westpunt) \u2014 secluded and natural<\/h3>\n\n

The northwestern tip of the island offers the most secluded and natural experience in Curacao. The most beautiful beaches on the island<\/a> (Cas Abou, Grote Knip, Playa Kalki) are located in this area. However, the nearest restaurant scene is a 45-minute drive away. Best choice for divers and nature lovers. <\/p>\n\n

Accommodation types in Curacao<\/h2>\n\n

Large all-inclusive resorts<\/h3>\n\n

Several large all-inclusive resorts operate in Curacao, including Sandals Royal Curacao and Corendon Resort. <\/p>\n\n

Small-scale bungalow resorts<\/h3>\n\n

Small-scale bungalow resorts like Bon Bini Resort offer the freedom of self-catering with resort facilities. The best value for money for families and groups. Check out our 1-bedroom bungalow<\/a> (up to 4 people) or the 2-bedroom bungalow<\/a> and 2-bedroom deluxe<\/a> (up to 6 people). <\/p>\n\n

Private villas<\/h3>\n\n

Private villa rentals via Airbnb, VRBO and local agents offer maximum privacy but without resort services. Best choice for groups wanting full independence. <\/p>\n\n

Smaller hotels and guesthouses<\/h3>\n\n

Quality varies significantly. Best choice for budget travelers or solo travelers who don’t need the space of a bungalow. <\/p>\n\n

Why book at Bon Bini Resort?<\/h2>\n\n

Bon Bini Resort offers the ideal middle ground: the space and kitchen of a vacation home, with the services and security of a resort. Located 2 minutes from Mambo Beach, it is the best-positioned small-scale accommodation in the Mambo Beach area.Benefits of direct booking: lowest price guarantee, free beach bed at Cabana Beach, free supermarket shuttle, free stay for children up to 3 years old and flexible terms.
