About Your Stay
Yes! When you book directly with Scuba Lodge Lagun Beach through our website or by contacting us via email or phone, you benefit from our best available rates and personal assistance with your stay.

If you ever have questions before booking, we’re happy to assist you directly.
Yes, we ask guests to bring their own beach towels. Pack one (or two, we won’t judge) and you’re all set for a day at Lagun Beach. Whether you’re lounging on the sand, drying off after a snorkel, or napping under the sun after lunch at our cliffside restaurant, your towel will be your best travel companion here.
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is at 11:00 AM.
If you are arriving early or departing later in the day, feel free to let us know. Subject to availability, we’ll always do our best to accommodate early check-in or late check-out so you can enjoy your time in Lagun at a relaxed pace.

Yes. Our 8-Night City & West Coast Experience is the easiest way to do this. You can also ask us to split your stay between both hotels. We don’t have a shuttle between the two, so most guests rent a car.
With our 8-Night City & West Coast Experience you get to enjoy both of our locations: lively Pietermaai in the city and quiet Lagun on the west coast. The package includes:
- 4 nights at Scuba Lodge City Beach
- 4 nights at Scuba Lodge Lagun Beach
- 10% off car rental
- Air and weights for certified divers
- A welcome drink at both hotels
This way you experience Curaçao’s culture and nature in one easy booking.
You can cancel the 8-Night City & West Coast Experience free of charge up to 15 days before arrival. After that, the booking is non-refundable. A 25% deposit confirms your booking, and we ask for the remaining 75% 14 days before arrival.
Yes. You’ll find body wash, hand soap, shampoo and a hairdryer in every bathroom. If you use conditioner, we recommend bringing it along, as this is not included.
Yes. As our guest, you can use our beach beds on Playa Lagun free of charge. The beach itself is public, so you may see locals and other visitors enjoying it too. Umbrellas are not included, so a hat and sunscreen are a good idea.
We don’t have a pool, but the calm, clear water of Lagun Beach is just a few steps from your room.
You can cancel free of charge up to 4 days before arrival. From 3 days before arrival, the booking becomes non-refundable.
We want to be honest so you can plan well. The lodge is not fully accessible: we don’t have elevators, several rooms are on upper floors, and the beach is reached by stairs. Please contact us before booking and we’ll gladly help you find the most comfortable room.

Lagun is a small fishing village on the island’s west coast. The atmosphere is tranquil and authentic, but shops, supermarkets and larger towns are located some distance away.
For guests who wish to explore beyond the immediate area, dine at different locations, or visit beaches along the coast, renting a car is strongly recommended.

Practical
The standard electrical outlets in Curaçao typically supply 110–130 volts at 50Hz. At Scuba Lodge Lagun Beach, we predominantly use 220V outlets with the standard European two-pin plug.
Before travelling, we recommend checking whether your devices are compatible with both 110V and 220V to ensure smooth use during your stay.
While we do provide plug adapters for your convenience, bringing your own adapter is always recommended if you already have one. If you have any questions about compatibility, feel free to contact us in advance, we are happy to help.
Yes, complimentary WiFi is available for our guests.
Please note that Lagun is a peaceful village on the west coast, and while internet access is reliable, the setting is intentionally slower and more relaxed than the city. It’s the perfect opportunity to disconnect, even if only for a little while.
Yes. Tap water in Curaçao is safe to drink and of excellent quality.
The island’s water is desalinated and meets high international standards, so there is no need to purchase bottled water unless you prefer to do so.
Lagun is a small fishing village, and large supermarkets are not within walking distance.
For groceries and a wider selection of shops, we recommend visiting nearby towns by car. If you plan to explore the island, having a rental car offers the most flexibility during your stay.
