With an introductory rate of just $199 per night, you can be one of the first to check out the new Renaissance Curacao Resort & Casino - the only full-service chain resort to open on the island in the past 15 years. This gives guests a 40% savings off the standard room rates that will follow the introductory offer.The 237-room waterfront resort just opened its doors in Willemstad in February 2009, and it already features a handful of unexpected amenities. Beyond the on-site restaurants, lounges, piano bars and the 15,000-square-foot Carnaval Casino - featuring both slots and table games - the resort also boasts a white-sand "Eternity Beach," a man-made, sand and saltwater pool that sits above sea level and is the first of its kind. And the resort sits adjacent to a 19th-century landmark, Rif Fort - a UNESCO World Heritage site - giving guests a chance to experience some of what's new and historic on the island, all in one place.To enjoy the low rate, just book online or through the resort's reservation line and travel by April 15th.
