The resort
The resort has its own on-site dive center and is right next door to the well-known Seaquarium and Dolphin Academy. Historic Willemstad is only a five-minute drive away. Dive sites like Mushroom Forest, Klein Curacao, Superior Producer and Tugboat are available right outside your hotel door. Just off the Lions Dive beach is the famous Stella Maris reef. It’s a beautiful shore dive that is home to a mysterious shipwreck.
