Curaçao is the most "Dutch" of the Caribbean's Netherlands Antilles - and the most colorful, with its restored mansions and tiny houses painted in a burst of pastel and bright colors. However, there is nothing "old world" about its hotels and beach resorts, even though some have incorporated all or parts of 18th and 19th century mansions, folk houses and museums into their architecture. The island is positioning itself as a tourism powerhouse, with the construction of six new resorts and the renovation of five existing properties. Travelers will find more lodging and meeting space for groups and weddings and more quality than ever before. Some new properties include: Clarion Hotel & Suites, Renaissance Curaçao Resort & Casino, Hyatt Regency Curaçao, and Best Western Blue Bay Village.
