All-inclusive resorts are certainly available to travelers, but may not be the most popular way to stay in Cura�ao because it is such a unique destination. Other hotels and resorts provide everything from upscale surroundings to quaint, local lodgings. Guesthouses are popular with travelers and usually cost a bit less than the larger hotels and resorts. Apartments are another option, especially for those planning a longer stay. Camping is possible, but there are no official campgrounds in Cura�ao; guesthouses are a popular alternative.
