🙌🏾 thank you for watching and coming along! 🤗

Thank you! You’re gonna love it 🇨🇴

We felt very safe 💯 Of course use the same situational awareness and caution you would anywhere else but we had no reason to feel unsafe even late at night. We didn’t use a tourism agent

Aww 🥹 thank you!! Thanks for watching!!! 🤗❤️

Thank you!!! 🥰🩷

Hey, Maybe bed&bike hostel. It’s in Willemstad, near all the bars and restaurants, likely to have other solo travelers. Your best bet will be staying in the Willemstad/Pietermaai area

🤣🤣🤣🤣 we couldn't resist! 🤣🤣❤

aww you're the best! Thank you, God is so good! It's a special blessing to have this time together 🥹 Happy Belated Anniversary! We pray to be so blessed to celebrate a 38th anniversary one day! 🤩❤️

Hey! everything was paid online via Airbnb. You shouldn’t have to pay anything outside of Airbnb. If they’re asking you to pay cash in person that’s a red flag. Paying with a credit card if safest because you can dispute and take no fault. don’t pay anything in person or pay using any vendor other than Airbnb. If it’s a new property or if the bnb owner doesn’t have any reviews or history, I’d also be cautious. If you are feeling a bit anxious about it, it may be best to follow your intuition and move fwd w a property you feel most confident in. Hope this helps!

@FantaandDarwin thank you it helps, one more thing can you recommend any Airbnbs for us, I know you both talked about the one you both stayed in .

@@DeniseFrederick-oj9ig Glad the information helped! Unfortunately, we don't have a list of recommendations for specific bnbs at the moment on Curacao, but if you want us to vet anything you're interested in we can. We're also more than happy to share general tips or advice for your search!

Thank you!! Good to see you tooo! 😊

😂 we always wanted to too! This was our first time ever, a lot of fun! 🙌🏾

@@FantaandDarwin wow, that’s so cute that you try nee things together! Blessings you guys!!!🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you so much! 🥹❤️

Hi! the transfer was offered through our Airbnb. The bnb had a few drivers. This is one: Tosh +501 628-8141. But you’ll be able to find other transfer services on Google as well. You should also be able to arrange through your bnb/hotel. Hope this helps!

Aww too kind! thanks so much!

It was a couple mins drive to Jan Thiel beach but there are soo many more beaches North of the island that would be minimum 30mins+ away. Jan Thiel is a great neighborhood but we think there are other bnbs and neighborhoods more central to the beaches available. And that’s correct, 250usd

These are in Jan Thiel or close by a couple mins drive. Check out our Things to Know video too - we have a longer list of nightlife spots on there that might be helpful

Thank you so much! ❤️ 🙏🏾

Hey, Our bnb was about $250/night. It’s called La Hasta on Airbnb. Hope this helps! Here if you have more questions ☺️

Very common and contributes to the charm we love! ☺️ Regarding liquor, you’re right, usually imported liquors will cost more than the local liquor. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! ❤️

Hey! You’ll have to complete the Digital Immigration Card within 7 days prior to your departure to Curacao. You can visit Curaçao’s official website to fill it out Don’t know too much about Avila but it IS one of the nicer, more acclaimed hotels. It’s also close to Willemstad which is nice. They also offer day passes which includes access to their private beach and other services so if you want to experience Avila that’s also an option. Hope this helps!

Hey! Secrets played plenty reggae, dancehall and soca. The only thing is that Secrets had more wallflowers but maybe we came too early. Emporio also played a mix of music with more reggaeton and people dancing in their groups. Grand Cafe Mahaii has a Thursday night reggae night which might be what you’re looking for. If we were to visit again we’d give these three a shot. We have a Things To Know video w a list of nightlife locations around the 7 min mark. Maybe something will catch your eye! ☺️ Happy to answer any other questions! ❤️

Thank you! We appreciate you! By God’s grace we’re doing well!! 🙌🏾

@@FantaandDarwin ❤️you two are awesome.thank you for sharing your experiences. You are examples of what healthy relationships look like. Thank you.❤️

Sounds tranquil and beautiful! 🇨🇼 ❤️ Thanks for sharing 😊

Amen! We claim it! 🙏🏾 thank you for your love & support 🫶🏾

We stayed at an Airbnb in Jan Thiel

Hi! Consider Baoase Luxury Resort, although not truly close to Sandals it’s one of the more luxurious resorts available.

@@FantaandDarwin what’s your opinion on Mangrove Resort?

Mangrove was actually one of our top choices! It’s conveniently close to Willemstad which is nice and also has a private beach which is a win. Curacao beaches can get crowded so if you’re going to Curacao for the beach it’s a good choice. But we did hear the food on site isn’t anything to fiend over but if you plan to eat off resort you should be fine. Hope this helps!

@@tiffanimee8106 we just got back from Curacao and a week stay at Mangrove! Great location, easy to get anywhere from the resort. The property was nice and well maintained and free parking garage (we rented a car) was a real plus. I will say the food was not great in our opinion, we ate most meals offsite after the first day. The was a lot of fried foods and most food was over cooked and pretty bland unfortunately. Would definitely stay here again just would know that we won’t be getting our moneys worth by eating onsite.

@@angelamaxey181 ​ thank you so much for your reply, we are going there next month and I hope it lives up to its reputation! I guess we will have to eat off resort, it'll be fun to try the local foods anyway!

Thank you! You’re welcome! ☺️

Thank you for checking in! Means a lot! Life is good, thank God! We have a cancer update video coming soon 😊 🙏🏾

Happy to help! 😊 Feel free to ask any questions

Travelocity is usually our go-to for booking car rentals. But at the time when wanted to book because we booked our rental a bit last minute and around carnival season, there weren’t any vehicles available on Travelocity and had to reserve a rental directly with a local agency thru their website. But if not for that situation, we would go with Travelocity. Just don’t wait tooooo last minute to book your ride

@@FantaandDarwin Awesome! Thank you. We leave tonight. I was able to find something on Priceline. There is a big Jazz Festival this weekend so it was tough to find something, but we did.

Prices can vary quite a bit depending on the location, time of year, and the type of experience you’re looking for. Food Prices: • Casual Dining: In most cities, you can expect to pay around $10-$20 per person at a casual restaurant. • Mid-range Restaurants: Meals typically range from $20-$50 per person, depending on the cuisine and location. • Fine Dining: High-end restaurants can charge $50-$100+ per person, especially in major cities or popular tourist destinations. Hotel Prices • Budget Hotels/Motels: Prices generally range from $50-$100 per night. These are often basic accommodations without many amenities. • Mid-range Hotels: Expect to pay between $100-$250 per night. These hotels typically offer more amenities like pools, gyms, and room service. There are a few that offer private beach access. • Luxury Hotels: Prices can start at $250 per night and go up to $1000+ for top-tier experiences. These all likely have beach access • Vacation Rentals/Airbnb: Prices generally range from $100-$300 per night. But in the end it all comes down to your budget and the experience you’re willing to pay for. You can live large, live small, or do both 😊

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your kind words! ☺️ You can exchange before your trip but it could be more cost effective to use the exchange options available once you land. Most banks in Belize will exchange USD for BZD. There are also currency exchange offices throughout, especially in San Pedro. You can check with your hotel to see if they offer currency exchange services, too. Of course, there are ATMs in Belize that allow you to withdraw BZD directly - just be mindful of any bank fees. You'll also have the chance to exchange currency at the airport when you land. USD is generally accepted across Belize. Hope this helps!

Beautiful country 🇨🇼 ❤️

Leidy!!! 😊 a gem indeed! Can’t wait to visit again one day!

Oop 👀 Don’t know about that but thank you for sharing. We love horses and horseback riding 🐴

@@yaravanbommel-wz2yi I was wondering about that! Horses aren’t supposed to lay down. When I saw the horse getting up I was scared!

I definitely understand what you’re going through. I would explain to her exactly how you feel. Tell her that you want to go with your friend and that prom is an event where people usually go with someone and none of your other friends are available. Ask her what her concerns are and express that she can trust you because she raised you right. You can also explain that your friend is a good person. Maybe it may help if you introduced him to her before? It may help her feel more at ease. I hope this helps! Let us know how it goes 🫶🏾 best of luck!

😂 we love Curacao too! 🙌🏾 🇨🇼

Curacao has great hotel and bnb options so it comes down to how you like to vacation. We tend to spend a lot of time roaming around town so airbnbs work well for us. You will likely save money with a bnb but hotels offer nice amenities that not all bnbs have like access to private beaches, room service, cleaning, etc. Ultimately it comes down to what’s most important for you when vacationing but either choice is a good one

Thank you! Appreciate your kind words!! 😊

Woohoo! You’re welcome! 🙌🏾

You’re very welcome! ☺️

We think it goes both ways. Communication, being supportive and understanding is always key because life has ups and downs. Be real (and gentle) with yourself and your partner and practice self-love bc it helps us love others even better 🎯
