A car is essential to get there. It is wise not to go there alone, it's pretty remote. Shoes might be useful too!

Nightlife Willemstad has pretty good nightlife. Mambo beach is pretty good as well. Friday night fish night at Mambo can be recommended. And also at Friday you can get free spareribs at Wet'n Wild (next to Mambo).
