Villa Kas Amigos met our getaway needs perfectly. It's secluded in the Curacao countryside, but the Coral Estates neighborhood is secure, well-lit and has a beautiful resort development (with restaurants, scuba and snorkeling rental stores and a pool). The villa, itself, includes everything you could need to meet your needs, including sufficient cookware and appliances, beach towels and chairs, and a couple coolers. You really do have a great view of the ocean, as we spent most of our time when at the villa on the outdoor deck around the pool. We generally cooked breakfast each morning and made lunch to take with us on the road, and then ate dinner out. There are several grocery marts within a 5-10 minute drive where we stocked up (the marts have beer, wine and liquor as well), and you don't dare miss the Williwood bar and restaurant located along the secondary roads to the villa. It has a huge flashing sign, live music, great food (limited menu, but all delicious with a beach beer or drink) and some fantastic hot sauce! We spent our days hitting new beaches all up and down the west/south coast, and a couple days in Willemstad soaking in the culture, shopping and watching a bit of Champions League soccer. The island is a desert island, so the vegetation is unique and includes lots of cacti and dense shrubbery with beautiful flowers. The various beaches are generally hemmed in by stark rock faces that make you feel like each one is your own paradise. We visited all varieties of beaches, from more crowded, public beaches to private resort ones, rock and sand beaches (though we were fine without them, some might generally like to have water shoes along to wear on the rockier beaches). Our favorite beach was Playa Lagun, which offered easy snorkeling, a beach bar with iguanas, and stunning pictures. You also can't miss the sunset and cliff jumping (!) at nearby Playa Forti. Overall, Villa Kas Amigos and Curacao offered just the right mix of relaxation and adventure, and we certainly recommend both. The owners and their on-island maintenance man Mr. Marti were attentive to our needs if we asked, and otherwise let us have our fun without intrusion. We'll certainly look to revisit the island and this villa again in the future.
