Academy Hotel Curacao

Academy hotel is reasonably priced accommodation in Punda area of Willemstad. It is unique in that it is a training hotel for hospitality students. The hotel is located in a historical building with fine flooring. The staff we students who did a good job in the reception and housekeeping. Hotel and area around is pretty safe. The bed is comfortable and I had a large King room. The rates are pretty reasonable compared to other hotels in Willemstad. The location is wonderful, it is close to all the attractions in Punda and Otrobanda area. A bus station is located within a few blocks from the hotel, and it is an easy and very cheap access to the airport, all the popular beaches and maybe other touristy places in Curacao. Why pay very expensive fares for taxis or rent a car, when the bus is pretty convenient. Around the hotel are many good local and chain restaurants and bars. The hotel is secure through the night. Check on the reception as there did not seem to be a reception person late at night, only a security guard. The wifi is only available in public areas of the hotel and not in the rooms. A minor inconvenience.
