Hallo allerseits,
2 Wochen Curacao liegen hinter uns und haben viele gute Eindrücke hinterlassen. Ich war bereits zum dritten Mal dort, 2001, 2003 und 2010, immer bei Louis in den Allwest-Appts, denn eine bessere Lage gibt es wohl nicht: Flasche auf den Rücken, eine Treppe zum Strand runter und dann noch ein paar Schritte zum Wasser. Das sehr schöne Hausriff liegt direkt vor der Tür. Ein Tipp: Taucht mal von Allwest nach Playa Kalki zur Basis und (nach einer Pause) wieder zurück. Ein Weg dauert ca. 60 gemütliche Minuten, bei einer Tiefe von 6-10 Metern gibt es auch keine Probleme mit der Atemluft.
Ganz besonderen Dank an das gesamte Team von Allwest. Alle haben zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit geholfen, wenn es nötig war. Die Tauchflaschen standen immer in mehr als ausreichender Anzahl für das No-Limit-Tauchen zur Verfügung.
Louis hat ein hervorragendes BBQ organisiert und Andreas mit tollen musikalischen Einlagen auf seiner Mundharmonika für die richtige Stimmung gesorgt. Klasse! Roxy’s Erdnuss-Sosse war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis für den Gaumen! Der Curacao-Rum und die kubanische Zigarre haben das Ganze abgerundet.
Ein Highlight für Romantiker sind sicherlich die tollen Sonnenuntergänge, die man von der Allwest-Terrasse aus geniessen kann.
Macht weiter so, dann kommen wir irgendwann wieder zu euch.
Mit freundlichem Flossenschlag aus Herford

Hallo nach Curacao!
Was braucht der Mensch mehr, als auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf das Hausriff entspannt zu sitzen und den Booten auf dem Wasser zuzuschauen?
EUCH!
Es war ein wunderschöner Standort mit tollem Taucherservice für den diesjährigen Urlaub!
Das BBQ war der Hit, die Betreuung von euch vor Ort vorbildlich und die Hilfsbereitschaft genial! Selbst am freien Tag durften wir Andreas mit unseren Sorgen belasten (wir hatten uns ausgesperrt und brauchten dringend einen Schlüssel für ein gewisses Örtchen.
Ein toller Urlaub – Andreas ohne dich wäre es nur halb so schön gewesen.
Schöne Grüße
Anja

Hallo zusammen !
Wir waren im Juni 2010 für zweieinhalb Wochen auf Curacao in den Allwest-Appartements, und es war absolut genial !!!
Alles war perfekt organisiert (von der Abholung vom Flughafen an bis zum Abflug nach Deutschland), die Betreuung super, wunderschöne gemütliche Appartements mit großer Terrasse und herrlichem Blick auf's Meer, und das Wichtigste und Beste am ganzen Urlaub:
Fantastische Taugänge !!!!
Tauchen wann, wo und so oft und so lang man will, und das bei unbeschreiblichen Tauchplätzen direkt vor der Haustür...
Ganz besonderen Dank nochmal an Andreas (für die nette Begrüßung, die zahllosen Tipps zu Tauchplätzen und sonstigen Freizeitmöglichkeiten und die Hilfe bei allen möglichen Kleinigkeiten...) und natürlich auch an Bryan (der uns auch in seinem wohlverdienten Feierabend noch den Tag gerettet hat).
Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder !!!

Wij zijn begin juni 11 dagen bij All West geweest. Super vakantie! Alles is volgens afspraak gelopen van het begin tot het einde. Goede ontvangst op de luchthaven, prima auto (pick-up), mooi en schoon appartement met alles erop en eraan, goede duikfaciliteiten, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel zowel bij All West als bij Ocean Encounters. Kortom écht een aanrader, hopelijk kunnen wij volgende keer ook weer terecht in de geplande periode. Nogmaals bedankt iedereen voor de prima verzorging!

My 2 adult children and I stayed at the All West Apartments last week, May 23-30th 2010 and dove 6 2 tank boat dives with Ocean Encounters West during the week. All of the dive sites were incredible and the West end of the island certainly lived up the accolades it has gotten from others. In addition to the 12 boat dives we dove an additional 10 shore dives and we never had a dive any of us thought was not near perfect. The dive masters were also excellent. Dave's sense of humor above sea level made diving with him a true pleasure (if you meet him ask him to pit your oranges) and he was a great guide below, Steve was also excellent both on the boat and quite good at crowd control during the dives and Toni was near perfect. Her finding and sharing the creatures with us was unmatched as was her demonstration of wetsuit removal at depth. The house reef at the dive shop was a wonderful shore dive and so was the reef at All West Apartments. I guess to sum it up, a great dive operation in a perfect location with some of the best dive masters we have ever encountered.

We just got back from our second visit to All West. We loved it so much the first time that we went back for our honeymoon. Our week
was fantastic. Thanks to Louis and Bea for helping make our time there easy and relaxing. We love our house reef and the closeness of our other favorite dive sites, and were proud to see All West was in Scuba Diving this month even though it may mean we will have to
share our little slice of heaven with others who now know our secret spot in Curacao!

We returned from All West on 1/17/10 after a 9 day stay. If piece and quiet and incredible views from your balcony is what you like
this is the place to be. The diving was fantastic. This was our first time at All West and our second to Curacao. We appreciated
the solitude of our stay. If you want casinos and night life stay someplace else. We hope that this area of the island stays the
way it is for a long time to come. The staff and other guests were great to be around. We’ll be back there for certain.

We just returned home from a wonderful week at All West Apartments in Westpunt on Curacao. The property, the location, the
staff......all exceeded our expectations. Our apartment was clean, attractively furnished including a completely stocked kitchen,
with a million dollar view off the balcony. The staff was warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The location provided
easy access to the Caribbean and it was only a short trip to the dive shop for a boat dive with Ocean Encounters West. We enjoyed
and appreciated having WiFi to keep in touch with family and friends back home.
Thanks Louis and Andreas for providing us with a wonderful week in Curacao. We hope to return soon!

Hallo All-West-Team, lieber Andreas,
wir waren in diesem Jahr insgesamt 7 Wochem im All-West und werden mit Sicherheit wieder kommen. Es ist einfach alles Klasse. Der
Standort ist perfekt an einem ruhigen Ende der Insel, das Hausriff sucht seines Gleichen, man kann 24-Stunden am Tag tauchen so oft man
will. Das ist einfach ein Taucher-Traum.
Wir wünschen Euch allen, dass Ihr gut ins Neue Jahr kommt! Vielleicht mit einem Nachttauchgang?
Liebe Grüße aus Bayern

What a great experience! Wonderful apartment away from the bustle of town, great value, and great staff. Special thanks to Louis

be soon!

What a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the expert attention of Andreas! The diving was second to none and the freedom of being
able to dive right from the front of the apartments was amazing. We look forward to going back soon.

Schon zum 2. Mal waren wir in diesem Jahr auf Curacao in den Allwest-Appartements. Die Lage der Anlage mit seiner unvergleichbaren
Aussicht aufs Meer sind einfach phantastisch und das Hausriff immer wieder spannend. Sofort war alles wieder vertraut. Das machen nicht
zuletzt auch die Menschen aus, die das Allwest betreuen. Ob es Louis, der Besitzer ist, der sich für keine Arbeit zu schade ist, oder
Andreas von der Tauchbasis, der für jedes Problem ein offenes Ohr hat. Danke für die schöne Zeit, wir sehen uns bestimmt wieder.

Hallo All West Team, lieber Andreas,
wir waren im September für 2 Wochen bei Euch und möchten uns für die tolle unkomplizierte Betreuung bedanken.
Ein großer Dank auch an Andreas, der Termin für meine Ohrenentzündung bei „Zauberdoktor“Maduro war ein echter Hit und meine Rettung für
den, zwar dezimierten, aber immerhin dann doch schönen Tauchurlaub bei Euch. Das schreit ja förmlich nach Wiederholung.
Liebe Grüße aus Berlin nach Westpunt von Andre`& Petra

Hello all at All West and OEW,
Thank you for a great vacation!!!
To all who are thinking of going to All West; Stop thinking about it and go!
We've had an excellent stay in one of the apartments. The rooms are clean, lots of space and the AC makes sure you don't overcook. The
views at the sea are marvelous. We stayed for 12 days and were leaving very late in the evening; we could stay in the apartments until it was time to go and even take a shower just a couple of hours before we left for the airport. Louis and Andreas make sure that everything
is o.k.
Excellent location; direct access to the Caribbean Sea, just go down some steps and you can lie down on the beach or snorkel/dive in the
blue lukewarm water. Westpunt is quiet and relaxed but also near the Christoffel Park (which is worth a visit and maybe even a climb),
different "Landhuizen" and off course great diving spots. Just short drives away but also in the bay. We even saw a seahorse there
(Kamal; we hope you will see one someday soon).
Diving with OEW was great; very friendly and fun crew. Great diving spot in front of the shop and great trips by boat. Bryan and Toni
were right when they told us Watamula is the best spot. For sure it was the best spot we've seen so far.
Eating at Sol Food is like a dinner party with friends. Sunshine and David not only provided great food but also gave us great tips for
sightseeing.
All in all; SUPER!
Not if, but when we come back to Curacao; we'll stay at All West for sure!!

Wir waren vom 06.09.09 bis 20.09.09 im All West und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die App. bzw. Studios sind sauber und Zweckmäßig eingerichtet und zum Glück ohne Fernseher, den ein Taucher ja auch wirklich nicht braucht. Dafür hat man kostenloses WLAN und kann so die Daheimgebliebenen mit Berichten und Fotos versorgen.
Der große abschließbare Raum für die Tauchsachen, bietet nicht nur die Möglichkeit seine Sachen gründlich zu spülen und zu trocknen, sondern man findet dort auch gefüllte Tauchtanks, so das Tauchen jederzeit und spontan möglich ist. Was will man mehr.
Die betreuende Tauchbasis Ocean Encounter West hat nicht nur ein nettes und freundliches Team, sondern bietet auch eine sehr kompetente Ausbildung. Hier noch mal ein extra Dankeschön an Andreas, der trotz Erkrankung unsere Betreuung und Prüfung beim theoretischen Teil unserer Ausbildungen übernommen hat. Wir haben sehr viel gelernt und haben so bei unseren Tauchgänge zu zweit ein sicheres Gefühl gehabt und konnten so die schöne Unterwasserlandschaft sehr genießen.
Many thanks - and all the best

Our family of four stayed at AllWest for a second time for a week in June, 09. Excellent value for a basic but entirely acceptable apartment with diving right out the back door, easy access to local dive sites like Playa Kalki, Playa Lagun, Playa Jeremi, Porto Mari, Watamula, Mushroom Forest, etc. Full service dive shop is
nearby and although dining is a bit limited in the area, we had nice meals at Jaanchies (walking distance), Sol Food, Kura Hulanda Lodge and other places a bit
further away. Plus we had ample kitchen space for making our own breakfasts and a couple of dinners.
If you want a TV, all-inclusive amenities and towels shaped into swans on your bed each night, you will be disappointed. But if you want a nice, quiet, clean
apartment with good air conditioning, on site tanks, a big deck with wonderful view and good access to everything needed for a great dive vacation, you don't need
anything else. We will definitely be back to enjoy this great bargain.
We pretty much dive on our own but the people at Ocean Encounters West have always been nice and helpful when we stop by and our one boat dive to Watamula was very
nice.

For our honeymoon, we stayed at All West Apartments for one week in January 2009. The staff and facilities at All West and Ocean Encounters West made our trip a
wonderful experience and at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend All West and would return there again.
The apartments are located on the northwest end of the island, away from the tourists and crowds. It was perfect as we had plenty of privacy that you will not
receive at an all-inclusive resort. We had an amazing view of the ocean from our balcony, with a few local fisherman boats mooring offshore. Andreas and Tanya
were both very helpful during our stay. The diving was beautiful – plenty of colorful fish and coral. The house reefs located at the apartments and at Ocean
Encounters West were both very nice and there is an abundance of great diving nearby.
Thank you to everyone at All West for making our honeymoon a remarkable experience.
Cheers,
Lindsay & Mike

I had such a great time in April 2008 that I am in the process of returning April 2009.
I met wonderful people who were guests during my stay.
The view is really wonderful and the sunsets are just spectacular. With the array of small boats moored below and the changing winds and currents, there is always
a different canvas by the moment.
The staff and comfort at All West are unmatched. One cannot help but feel relaxed, whether diving with Ocean Encounters West, snorkeling or just gazing into the
distance with a cold beverage in hand.
So these are a few of the reasons I am planning a return visit.

This was our first trip at All West and we are hooked. Looking forward to next year already. The ease of diving, the facilities and of course the staff is
wonderful. The location is outstanding. This is just what I needed considering I had been sick for the prior 3 weeks before we arrived, and at this point wish I
was still there. See you next year - or sooner.....

Liebes All-West-Team,
wir schreiben unseren Eintrag bewusst auf Deutsch, denn wir möchten auch die Personen, die nicht so gutes
Englisch verstehen/sprechen ermutigen, Curacao bzw. All West zu besuchen, denn mit Andreas (Hamburger JungŽ) hat man vor Ort einen Ansprechpartner für ALLES.
Er ist IMMER für alle Gäste da und beantwortet IMMER unermüdlich alle Fragen, die man hat. Curacao ist ein Muss für jeden Taucher! Die Unterwasserwelt ist fantastisch,
faszinierend, abwechslungsreich!!!!
Der Ort Westpunt bzw. die All-West-Appartments sind einfach genial.
Vielen Dank noch mal an Louis und sein Team (für unseren 2.ten wunderschönen Urlaub, den wir bei euch verbracht haben)!

We stayed with All West last week and did two days of boat diving with Ocean Encounters and we were MORE than impressed with both!
You cannot beat the view from the All West balconies, and regardless of what the popular choice is, our vote for best reefs are the house reef at All West and
Alice in Wonderland.
A great experience to be on our own time schedule and still have such great dives. Each of the staff we met was friendly and helpful and our entire week was great.
As we told you while we were there, we are torn between telling everyone about your operation or just keeping you a secret to ourselves!!!!
All the staff at OE West were great to be around. Tanya and Ruud were both so patient with all of our questions and there was always a smile on Ramon's face.
Alessandra is a sweetheart while Andreas kept us laughing! Thanks to Captain Lionel for trying to get us close to the dolphins! Everyone made it so easy to want
to come back.
Best to all

Dear All West!
We hungarians like cool people...and you are.
We had a very good time in your apartment even if we were the only ones who did not dive. :D
But guys!
If you want to escape from the turists crowd and want to have a relax time choose these guys it worth it.
We had everything what we wanted...ocean infront of us, silent behind us and friendly people around.
THANKS A LOT!!!!

We’ve had a terrific time. Your dive staff went the extra mile with our nieces Kristin and Jessica. They completed their (Junior)
Open Water Diver certification. The boat dives were spectacular – our particular favourite on this trip was Rediho. All the staff
were very helpful and the apartments (All West Apartments and Diving) worked very well for us – nicely appointed and GREAT SUNSETS!!!

I'm a 44 year old diver that's been certified since I was 16 - but haven't dived in 12 years. Andreas from OE West did a nice 1:1
refresher course with shore dive on Playa Kalki and the skills came right back.
Andreas, Tookie, and Alexsandra were all great divemasters and led me on dives to Mushroom Forest, Playa Kalki, Airplane, Playa Lagun,
and Grote Knip. All wonderful and spotted large Eagle Rays on multiple days, huge lobster, turtles, squid, barracuda, and lots of great
smaller creatures.
All divemasters were adept at pointing out animals of interest, and very competent.
Stayed at Lodge Kura Hulanda and it was great. All West Apartments is another good option (ask for Andreas). Local captain Tookie
is a character and enjoyed every minute. Thanks, All! Chris - Omaha, Nebraska.

To our "family" at Allwest,
Our group of seven divers wanted me to write to you to express our thanks for making our July/August 2006 vacation a wonderful,
magical experience. It is rare that several different individuals spend a week anyplace without a single complaint!!!
From meeting our delayed arrival with
our three vehicles, leading us to a supermarket to do our shopping, seeing us settled in our well-appointed apartments (with awesome views of the sea and sunsets),
creating a special 3 tank dive boat trip, facilitating our daily and nightly shore dives, and meeting us for our departure, it was a fantastic experience. As always
the diving was spectacular with rays, a variety of eels and snake eels, turtles, squid, angels, spotted drums, banded shrimp, schooling fish, healthy corals of all
shapes and sizes!!! We'll have to come back for the sea horses! But, most of all, what made this vacation stand out over many others was the superb personal
attention and genuine friendship of all of you at the apartments and the dive shop.
We would recommend your operation to anyone interested in getting away from the "tourist traffic" to experience a truly relaxing vacation away from the crowds and in
the area of Curacao with the best dive sites.
Thank you so much,
Norm Friday, Tony Amenta, Steve Riege, Bernie Moore, Gerry Foster, Dave Cooper, and Bob

We would like to thank Louis and the diving crew again for the excellent service.
We hope to see you again next year at the \"Boot\" in Düsseldorf.
