Not all accommodations on Curaçao have standard linen. That is why we offer this service. That saves a lot of space in your suitcase ;-)
The linen consists of a pillow, bottom sheet and duvet cover. On Curaçao we do not sleep under blankets because of the heat. No towels are included.
If you use our pick-up service, you will receive your linen directly at Hato, otherwise you can pick it up at our office.
