3. Meet, Greet and Mingle
Don’t just attend the parties and after-parties. Spontaneous mixers and small group activities come up left and right during the weekend. Be sure to attend the official
“Meet & Greet” on Friday, September 28 at the Klooster Hotel. You’ll find a nice cross-section of people, everyone is welcome, but the crowd is definitely young, hip, and a mix of power lesbian couples and well-off traveling gay men. Grab a margarita or a tropical cocktail and introduce yourself to representatives of the Curaçao Gay Plasa. The Curaçao Gay Plasa is a small organization committed to welcoming GLBT travelers to the island and organizing regular parties and events for locals and tourists alike. The organization was started by a group of friends who came back after their studies in the Netherlands and wanted to organize some cool celebrations. Today the Get Wet Weekend continues to grow in attendance every year and there’s something for everyone in Curaçao.
The “Meet & Greet” is a great opportunity to make new friends and get a feel for what you’ll be doing the rest of the weekend. Don’t worry, dancing queens – there’s an after-party planned at
Otra Cosa Bar in downtown Willemstad later.
Saturday can be a bit of a wildcard but there will be plenty of mini pool parties and perhaps even some invitations to private beaches if you meet the right people. If you’re looking for something to do, simply grab a Pina Colada and head to your hotel’s pool; you’ll certainly make friends and run into other Get Wet companions. Looking for a beach recommendation? See #5. From 9pm-2am the legendary
“NaviGAYtion” party at
Wet & Wild Beach Club will keep you busy dancing, sipping cocktails, mingling with cute boys and girls, or stepping out onto the sand with someone special to gaze at the night waves. The NaviGAYtion party is really the highlight of the weekend. It’s a hot & heavy old school beach dance party, kind of like a
Fire Island circuit party, only more down-to-Earth and tropical. Things mellow out on Sunday at the
“Starfish” Pool Party at the stunning Floris Suite Hotel–be sure to pack a cute swimsuit to show off your sexy new tan as you sip on your last few fruity “Get Wet” cocktails.
