Comments	Habitat Curacao looks like it might have been a nice, cozy destination a decade or so ago, but not it looks (and feels) run-down. The rooms were rather small, dirty, and poorly equipped (although ours was the top of the line). They included a "kitchenette" but no microwave and no cookware to use the stove. Room service did little more than make the beds and change towels. The room smelled like urine when we arrived and hadn't changed by the time we left. The dive staff was very friendly but a little too easy going - for example, one dive turned into a drift dive when half of the divers were already underwater with the intention of returning (as instructed) to the spot where we had left the boat (only the boat was not there) and, although they advertised 24/7 shore diving, we had to remind staff members repeatedly to leave tanks out for us when we wanted to take tanks outside of the house reef. If/when they forgot to leave out tanks, we would have to haul tanks up three flights of steps and a fair distance just to get them from the dive shop to the parking lot.
