WILLEMSTAD, Curaçao: Curacao has been chosen as a Top 10 Destination for 2010 by Microsoft’s Bing, one of the hottest new search engines on the Web. Curaçao was the only Caribbean country selected on a list that included unique, global destinations such as South Africa, Malaysia and Morocco.
Bing writes, “The Dutch island of Curaçao is our top pick for the Caribbean this year, thanks to its gorgeous natural features (including wild flamingoes), a rich history and a unique culture. This is not the prototypical, frat-boy destination for spring breakers.” The island’s new Renaissance Curaçao Resort and Casino is also highlighted for its stunning ocean-view rooms and on-site spa.
Curaçao’s convenient location (just 2.5 hours from Miami), consistently balmy weather and European look and feel has always put it at the top of everyone’s list of out-of-the-ordinary, atypical Caribbean destinations. For instance, Curaçao’s capital, Willemstad is the only Caribbean city apart from Havana, Cuba to be ranked a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Willemstad also boasts distinctive Dutch colonial architecture with colorful, gingerbread-trimmed buildings that are always photo-ready.
