Hilton day pass vs Blue Bay

[basil1]

I'll be in Curacao on 01/07/19 and am trying to decide between going to Blue Bay Beach or doing a Hilton day pass. I can get 2 day passes for $70 and that includes a $50 food voucher.

At the Hilton -in most photos it appears that the beach there is very narrow but I saw another photo where there is a long narrow strip of beach as well. I'd hate to be in the narrow but deep area and be seated in the 5th row. But they also have a pool.

Blue bay is only $8 pp but doesn't include any food or drinks. I am feeling like it could be more crowded since some cruise tours go there.

Anyone who has been to both what do you think?

Thanks!

Went to Blue Bay last week. Not crowded at all. Didn't see/look for a pool or other resort facilities.

We arrived around 10am, left approx 2pm.

If you want to swim bring water shoes. Bit rocky.

Snorkelling was pretty good, swim around the rocks that protect the bay to the other sides for better views.

Beach facilities were decent, not great.

Food/drink available for not terrible pricing.

Thank you Nate!

The Hilton is closer to town.  At Blue Bay one needs transportation

back to the ship, which is why we booked a ship's excursion.
