Marriott Casino Curaçao

Marriott Casino Curaçao operates within the Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort & Emerald Casino — the island's flagship international hotel property, situated on the white sands of Piscadera Bay on the western outskirts of Willemstad. The hotel's location — facing the open Caribbean on a sheltered bay with calm, turquoise water and outstanding reef diving directly offshore — gives it the best of both worlds: beach resort setting and proximity to Willemstad's UNESCO-listed historic city centre, 3 km away by taxi.

Curaçao is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Willemstad — the capital — is one of the Caribbean's most architecturally distinctive cities: the pastel Dutch colonial townhouses lining the Sint Anna Bay, the Queen Emma pontoon bridge (the world's longest floating pedestrian bridge), and the Punda and Otrobanda shopping districts make it the most European-feeling capital in the non-Spanish Caribbean. The island's economy is driven by refining (the ISLA refinery, one of the Caribbean's largest), tourism, and offshore financial services — including the global online gambling licensing industry centred on the Curaçao eGaming licence.

The casino floor offers roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker, and slot machines. Curaçao's tourism base differs from the beach-resort-mass-market islands: it draws more independent travellers, dive enthusiasts (the Curaçao reef system is among the Caribbean's finest), Dutch visitors on direct KLM flights from Amsterdam, and US-based cruise passengers who stop on the southern Caribbean itineraries that include Curaçao, Bonaire, and Aruba in the same voyage.
