Brazil vs Curaçao

Costao do Santinho Resort sits on a hillside overlooking the ocean, with a large blue pool, loungers, and multi-story beige buildings surrounded by lush green vegetation.

Striped lounge chairs line the pool deck at Sandals Royal Curaçao, a white colonial-style building with manicured grounds under clear blue sky.
