Stricter guidelines and supervision by local authorities provide travelers with greater transparency and clarity when booking accommodation.
The Government of Curaçao and the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) are actively committed to the further professionalization of the private vacation rental sector. Property owners are encouraged to officially register and comply with standards regarding fire safety, hygiene, and clear guest information. In doing so, the island aims to safeguard the overall quality of accommodations and counter unfair competition.
For travelers, this development offers greater assurance during the booking process. You can be more confident that registered accommodations meet essential safety requirements, such as the presence of smoke alarms and appropriate fire extinguishing equipment, and that the collection of local sales tax and lodging tax is handled transparently. This minimizes the risk of misunderstandings regarding additional costs or shortcomings upon arrival.
At Papaya Resort Curaçao, we closely monitor local guidelines for vacation accommodations and place great value on providing clear information about staying in our apartment. Should you have any questions regarding local formalities or what to expect during your stay, we would be pleased to assist you.
