I had used my points for us to stay at the Curaçao Hilton but the day before we flew out I got an email to the effect that the hotel renovations at the Hilton were not complete and we were to be moved to the Sunscape Curaçao all inclusive resort a little way down the beach. At first I was disappointed but the resort had lots of pools for the kids, plenty of bars for us and lots of different dinner options. Hilton refunded all of the points I used so our stay was free. It even included free diving. It was all a little too much, to the point where I couldn't drink any more Blue Curaçao or any of the other color variations they had.
We rented a car for a couple of day trips to try and break up all the beach time. The first trip was to the caves by the airport, the pink flamingoes and the wonderful natural cliffs of the north coast. In the late afternoon we drove into Willemstad for dinner beside of the most impressive city views you can imagine.
The other day trip took us to the dolphin sanctuary where the kids got to experience them up close. Seb was a little shy but Lily absolutely enjoyed herself and we got some cute photos of her shaking hands, tickling, kissing, etc one of the dolphins.
