As we were staying at the resort, this was a fantastic place for a first night meal on the beach... Very romantic. Food was so so... If I weren't staying there, I wouldn't recommend it...but if you're staying there, one meal is nice.

The food is pretty good but a bit pricey. Also, be ware that the beach waiters do not like you to bring your own drinks or food on the beach. We did get harassed over that a few times and it becomes quite uncomfortable.

They don't serve lobster unless it there special of the day. You don't need a reservation unless your eating down stairs.

I am back in Holland, but Karakter is about 20 minute drive from your dock. You will need a car, however, or take a taxi. With limited time I would advise to stay in Willemstad.
