Where to stay in Curacao
 

Hi all - Mom and I are heading to Curacao at the end of November and trying to decide where to stay. LionsDive looks okay but we're afraid it might be busy being right on Mambo Beach. On the other hand, the Santa Barbara looks nice, but a lot of the reviews note that it is secluded. We've never been to Curacao before so I'm not sure which is better - to be too busy or too secluded. We will have a car and plan on one day on the water, one day in Willemstad, one day on the west side, and hopefully one day relaxing. Both of these hotels still have availability. (I know Avila is booked for our dates.) Any suggestions on these hotels or other options would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
