Has anyone been to the Hilton Curacao? What are your thoughts? Planning vacation next summer with girlfriend and wondering if 250k points (for a week) is worth it.

I went a few years ago on points and I thought it kinda sucked. Beach is small and rocky and staff is rude. I spent most time by the pool. Curaçao is interesting because tourism isn't their main industry (oil is) and many people just do not give a fuck about service. I've traveled the world and honestly Curaçao probably had the worst service of anywhere I've been.

Silver lining: the diving and snorkeling is top notch. You can see great fish right off the Hilton beach too. And it only took 30k AA miles to get there.

Fuck, that's not good news haha. Any better suggestions for delta miles and Hilton points?

Diving is awesome we go every year but we rent a villa and stay on the west side of the island. It depends on what you want to do. Most of the hotels were given a ten year tax break and the property's are coming to the end of it so they are as well maintained. You just have to know what you want to do and see.

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?
