Hotel Information: Popular with divers since opening in August 2005, Lodge Kura Hulanda and Beach Club also attracts couples and families seeking a serene setting, panoramic Caribbean Sea views, and opportunities to explore Christoffel National Park, 6.5 km (4 mi) away. Grounds include a secluded Japanese garden, native trees, cactus gardens, flowering bushes, and tamarind and breadfruit trees.

Amenity highlights: The resort stands on a cliff above a 75-m (82-yd) beach of white coral sand along the Caribbean Sea. A coral reef for snorkeling and scuba diving is just offshore. The resort supplies snorkeling gear, kayaks, pedal boats, and small sailboats. An independent dive center offers scuba and snorkeling excursions and scuba instruction/certification. Large thatched shades border a freeform pool.

Insider tip: On the island's north coast 4 km (2.5 mi) from the resort, Boka Tabla is the largest of a cluster of grottos carved by the sea, which crashes relentlessly against the limestone shore. Parakeets and other birds nest in the grottos.
