We went back in January of 2016. Our first proper trip away from the two kids at the time! Stayed right downtown in Willemstad at a hotel that was a training centre for people that wanted to get into the business. Nothing fancy but did the trick for us as a place to sleep.
Can't see to find the place now, but we were in this area:

Did a day trip to the small island of Klein Curacao, really rough seas heading out there. Not at all ashamed to say I lost my lunch on that ride out! Beautiful deserted island where we spent the day, white sand beaches, and the tour operator for the day trip had facilities set up there for lunch and places to relax.
We spent a lot of time simply walking around exploring Willemstad. I know there are lots of resort options outside the city but we like doing the urban thing. And that small city centre area is great for a Carribbean/Europe city vibe.
There's an incredible museum there about the history of the slave trade, real humbling stuff to see in person.
Oh and there are so many Dutch there. Prepare to feel short (I'm 5'11").
