Hotel Kura Hulanda
Book This Hotel
In native Papiamentu, Kurá Hulanda means "Dutch courtyard." Appropriately, narrow paving-stone lanes winding through the village lead to courtyards shaded by dense gardens, each space suffused with music from a sound system that matches its architectural/landscape mood. These spaces include a sculpture garden, two pool gardens, a central square, and a marble garden that came from an Indian maharaja’s home. Musicians play six nights weekly in the hotel's central square.
Within the village are a health spa, a beauty salon, a women's-clothing boutique, an art gallery, an herb shop, and a shop where the proprietor hand-crafts jewelry. The Cotton Club includes reading chairs, a piano, and tributes to jazz musicians.
A complimentary fitness center contains cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights, a unisex sauna, and a unisex steam room. A 24-hour business center features three computers offering complimentary high-speed Internet access. Security in the village is provided around the clock by a high-tech system with about 80 mini cameras.
The spa at Hotel Kura Hulanda Spa and Casino offers six treatment rooms, plus the option for outdoor massages along with a sauna and steam room. The treatment rooms are located around a central fitness facility which offers the latest cardiovascular equipment with "cardio theater" (individual TV’s at each machine) and a fully equipped weight room. An outdoor space offers a spa tub, lounge, and yoga/aerobics palapa.
