After a vigorous workout in the fitness center, aching bodies appreciate the 4,500-square-foot Atabei Spa, where treatments can be conducted indoors or outdoors.  Once relaxed and ready for an evening out; the Willemstad offers plenty of selection for dinner, or have your choice at Hyatt’s SHOR restaurant. The American grill cuisine includes: Prime aged rib eye steak, with tasty lobster macaroni and cheese.

Offering views that are second-to-none, Hyatt Regency Curacao is a full-service Dutch Caribbean resort, perfectly situated on 27 acres of pristine property between the Caribbean Sea and the Spanish Water Bay.  An integral member of the Caribbean trio universally referred to as the ABC Islands, Curacao is located only 35 miles from both Aruba and Venezuela
