Preparation for travel is a little different these days. Curacao has an app which must be filled out along with uploading the negative covid test. Once arriving iat the airport everything gets checked to make sure you are negative. We had stayed at this property when it was a Hilton, and we were very happy with it, however as a Dreams property, I can't say the same. The dive operation was very good. The only complaint was that the boat wasn't a real dive boat. Most days, we returned to the resort to get the 2nd tank. Dive guides were helpful, friendly and accommodating. People in my group took their advanced open water and learned a lot, which says a lot for the instructors. Hugo and Orlando run a good operation! Diving was easy. Saw lots of eels, a few turtles, schools and schools of fish, shrimp, barracuda etc. My recommendation - stay at a different resort, and dive with Caribbean Sea Sports The hotel was clean-up to covid standards |
