“A bit about the neighborhood, Lagun.

The dive shop nearby is called Discover Diving Curaçao, and is located at the Lagun beach.
This is on your right hand side from our current location.
They offer both shore and boat dives and have a great selection of dive equipment for rent.
Discover Diving also has a snack bar that's open from 11 a.m. to 5:00 p.m for a small bite.

Also on our right side we have a small convenience store, which we called “Toko”. Right
next the Catholic Church on the left side of the road, there you can get almost everything,
such as phone cards. The “ Toko” is open until approx 7 o’clock at night.

We are very happy to have you here with us and will do our utmost to make you feel at
home, here in Curaçao and of course at “My Dream Apartments”.

Some of the things that set Curacao apart have little to do with tourism. With its unique
buildings and natural harbor, the capital Willemstad became a UNESCO World Heritage
Site in 1997. The town is a big, bustling port (and the largest dry dock in the region).
Huge ships sail right through downtown, and the Queen Emma Bridge creates a unique
sight when it turns sideways to let them pass.
Much of the shipping traffic revolves around the island's large oil refinery, second only to
tourism as an economic factor for the island.
When Shell Oil ran the refinery, Curaçao became one of the more prosperous parts of the
Caribbean. Shell left in 1985, and the government now leases the facilities to a Venezuela
company that runs it on a much smaller scale.
With a mixture of 55 different nationalities on the island, Curacao has a fascinating
multicultural aspect. It also has a cosmopolitan character:
The majority of residents speak at least four languages -- English, Spanish, Dutch and
their own Papiamento.
