Fodor's Expert Review Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort
Nieuwpoort, n/a Curaçao, Curaçao Fodor's Choice
The sprawling hacienda-style complex is set along a beautiful stretch of ocean, and their first-class Pete Dye–designed golf course has spectacular views of the sea and countryside. Mountainside tennis courts, plus an on-site dive and water-activity operator ensure plenty to do beyond sunbathing. There are multiple pools, calm surf ideal for little ones, and a Kid's Club. Special theme nights bring island color and culture, and sushi and signature cocktails in the grand lobby/terrace are not to be missed. Especially noteworthy is the staff. Above and beyond friendly and competent, they make this massive place a homey enclave for all.
