Wake up to views of Curaçao's Caribbean waters with this $119-per-night deal at a luxe resort.

This special at the Hyatt Regency Curaçao Golf Resort, Spa and Marina comes with a guaranteed room upgrade. Vacation on the exotic island Oct. 11 - Dec. 21 with these special rates:

• $119: Book Resort View and get upgraded to Partial Water View (reg. $239)
• $139: Book Partial Water View and get upgraded to Premier Water View with unobstructed sights of the ocean (reg. $289)

Opened in April 2010, the hacienda-style resort is the newest on the island and ranks among Curaçao's top five hotels on TripAdvisor. "Miles away from any other property," Fodor's Travel Guide writes, the "luxury resort is ideal for a self-contained getaway."

Guests can take advantage of the private beach, an 18-hole Pete Dye-designed championship golf course, three pools, a PADI 5-star dive center, a spa and several waterfront restaurants.

About the island: Beyond its pristine beaches, pastel-colored buildings and top-rated dive spots, Curaçao also offers an eclectic mix of cultures, history and festivals. It's outside of the hurricane belt, making it far less susceptible to fall storms than other Caribbean islands.
