Curaçao is a pleasant, safe place for families with children. You'll find all the expected conveniences of home without many of the headaches; a small town atmosphere prevails across the island. Food purchased at roadside snack bars ("Snacks"), the market, or anywhere else is safe to eat; the tap water is pure and drinkable. Larger supermarkets are well stocked with familiar foods from the U.S., South America and Europe, as well as other items.

Curaçaoans are child-oriented people. Most people come from large extended families and are used to having lots of children around. Feel free to ask your hotel if they have children’s programs.
