Obviously we would love it if everyone stayed at Avila Hotel, however there are other hotels in the area that may be more suitable for you. There are many in Otrabanda and Punda that are close enough to walk or take a bus. Check out www.curacao.com/en/directory/stay/ for ideas. Ask us if you are not sure.
