The official and local currency of Cura\u00e7ao is the Caribbean Florin. However, the dollar is accepted everywhere as well. Almost everywhere you can pay with Visa and Mastercard and there are also many ATMs in the city center. Many tourists find that ATMs charge high transaction fees, so it is better to make the maximum withdrawal the first time and have enough cash to avoid extra fees for each transaction.<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Consider using cash for tipping, paying for beach chairs or using public transportation and pay with your card at restaurants, hotel or tourist attractions.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Categories” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”auto|||auto|false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”70px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”35px|||||” border_color_all=”rgba(0,0,0,0.08)” border_width_top=”6px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Poppins|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”35px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” background_color=”#ffffff” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”440px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”-4.2em||” custom_padding=”|20px|0px|20px||true” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” header_3_font_size__hover=”22px” header_3_font_size__hover_enabled=”22px” header_3_line_height__hover=”1em” header_3_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_3_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_3_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_3_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_3_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_3_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|auto|0px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/curacaomyway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/sandals-royal-curacao.jpg” title_text=”sandals-royal-curacao” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified” width=”95.5%” custom_margin=”5px|5px||5px|false|false” custom_padding=”5px||11px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The cost of lodging in Curacao varies depending on the sector, facilities or luxuries that the property offers to its guests. The great advantage is that there is no shortage of accommodation in Cura\u00e7ao, which means that there is a wide price range. Therefore, it is not only possible to stay in expensive resorts or all-inclusive hotels, but there are also inexpensive hostels and studio apartments. In low season it will be possible to rent a room for up to $20 per night.<\/p>\n The best option to stay in Cura\u00e7ao at low prices is to rent apartments, studios or Airbnb. You can often get good deals if you book in time.<\/p>\n As for hotels, direct contact can be complex, so doing it through Booking.com<\/a>, Expedia<\/a> or <\/strong> Airbnb<\/strong> will always be the easiest way. Also, booking on time can make a big difference in your Cura\u00e7ao travel budget. Consider that if you book at the last minute, the cheapest accommodations will already be occupied.<\/p>\n Undoubtedly, the total cost of a vacation will depend on several factors such as the type of hotel you plan to stay in, the cuisine you prefer, the tours you plan to book, or even the means of transportation you use. This is why in this guide I will break down the prices according to the type of choice you make. You can spend a lot of money if you plan a trip with all the luxuries, or you can choose a simple vacation and spend only what is necessary and still enjoy a dream trip.<\/p>\n Beforehand, a couple of tips if you want to save money: Stay in a budget hotel that offers breakfast included so you can spend your money on the experiences.<\/p>\n Below is my list of recommended hotels by area and price range.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”14px||15px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”14px|18px||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”justified” width=”95.5%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”5px|5px|17px|5px|false|false” custom_padding=”5px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n PRICE RANGE: $0 – $50<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/curacaomyway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Bed-and-Bike.png” title_text=”Bed and Bike” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|||15px||” custom_padding=”|||11px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified” width=”95.5%” custom_margin=”5px|5px||23px|false|false” custom_padding=”5px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Bed & Bike Jan Thiel<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”justified” width=”95.5%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”5px|5px|17px|5px|false|false” custom_padding=”5px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n PRICE RANGE: $50 – $100<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/curacaomyway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/First_Curacao_Hostel.jpg” title_text=”First_Curacao_Hostel” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|||15px||” custom_padding=”|||11px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified” width=”95.5%” custom_margin=”5px|5px||23px|false|false” custom_padding=”5px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]San Marco hotel Curacao & Casino<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”justified” width=”95.5%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”5px|5px|17px|5px|false|false” custom_padding=”5px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n PRICE RANGE: $100 +<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/curacaomyway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/L1E9404A4W1600H1066.webp” title_text=”L1E9404A4W1600H1066″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|||15px||” custom_padding=”|||11px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified” width=”95.5%” custom_margin=”5px|5px||23px|false|false” custom_padding=”5px|16px|||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]Elements Hotel & Shops Curacao<\/a>COST OF LODGING<\/b><\/h2>\n
