The Ruined Resort of Curaçao

Along a beautiful, disheveled beach are the remains of a bankrupted hotel. This is on Santa Martha’s Bay, about halfway up the island, far from the cruise terminals of Willemstad. Abandoned about nine years ago, all the windows, doors, and fixtures have been removed, and the place is crumbling. These ruins below our rental house added a spooky magic to a charming trip with friends Ken and Clarence.

Unexpected hazards

Putt around the thorns.

The pool had a swim-up bar.

 

Besides the glorious ruins, the beautiful beaches and views called.

 

And fabulous friends
