Is Curacao an expensive Caribbean island to visit?

My family and I are trying to decide between - The Cayman Islands, Aruba, Bermuda, St Lucia or Curacao and are leaning towards Curacao as it's kind of unusual and looks really pretty... But is it a really expensive islands like the Cayman Islands? I have no idea and am not getting any real impression from my internet searches.... thanks!

sorry.. don't need a travel agency.. am going to book via Lastminute.com. also I live in England so using an American travel agency wouldn't be very helpful!

I would venture to say that it depends on what you're looking for in your search for an island to visit(I am Owner of a Travel Agency). Some things to consider are:

1-Are you into the culture of the islands?
2-Scenery most important to you?

Now let's say for the sake of this post that you have chosen an island to visit. Have you considered the following details:

1-When do you want to go?
2-Air/Hotel package? All-Inclusive package(best overall bargain)?
3-Length of stay?
4-Do you have a Travel budget in place?

Minor details for sure but they're important only because it will simplify your search for the island that will make you and your family happy. Also keep in mind that there are other islands in the Caribbean chain that are worthy of a visit as well. If you could kindly either call, email me at: indysteve1563@yahoo.com, or reach me through Yahoo Messenger with what you and your family have in mind, we can research which islands fit your criteria and what Travel options are available to you that not only satisfy your wants and needs, but are cost-friendly.

Hello I went there last year on a cruise and was able to get a taste, from the short time i was there we loved it, better than Aruba. the people were great and all the talk about being robbed, is B.S, they said that the island had a very good employment rate, which in returned lowered the crime rate. I like it almost as much as St. Maarten. Never been to St. Lucia but it looks awesome to. every one is different so do your homework. as whats right for one person may not be right for another, p.s check out www.tripadvisor.com

My daughter ans son -in-law were there for a few weeks. The resort was fine but they didn't think much of the rest of the island. They put me off, I admit.
There are plenty of other Caribbean islands. See selection below.

The Caymans can be expensive but you don't have to spend a fortune if you dont want to. There are grocery stores there to help save money on food and booze. You can rent a car easily to save $ on taxis.

I don't believe that "Last Minute Travel" will get you a lower price than one of your local travel agents that can better advise you. The best information you received on this site was from a travel agent trying to make a living.
I don't give out this type of info, but always advise visiting a trusted local agent.
Once agents are gone, you are definately on your own.

DO NOT GO TO CURACAO!!!! WE HATED IT THE BAY WAS FILLED WITH TRASH AND THE STORES THERE SUCKED... ALL YOUR OTHER CHOICES ARE MUCH BETTER... THE GRAND CAYMAN IS GREAT, LOTS TO DO, MUCH TO SEE... ARUBA WOULD BE MY SECOND CHOICE... HAVE FUN!!!

Curacao is hot and dry. Be very careful though, they will rob you blind.

I have an associate that is also a travel agent. She has a TON of specials right now!. If you are interested, give me your contact info and I will pass it on to her for you.

Good luck!
