ACOYA Meal Plans: Breakfast Buffet vs Full Board Plus vs Full Board Deluxe
Choosing the right ACOYA meal plans can simplify your stay, control your budget, and match how you love to dine. Whether you’re a light breakfast person, a poolside grazer, or you want a seamless food-and-drink bundle, ACOYA Curaçao offers three clear options: the Breakfast Buffet, Full Board Plus, and Full Board Deluxe. This guide explains what each plan includes, the prices, who they’re best for, and smart ways to get the most value.
ACOOYA does not offer a true all-inclusive package; instead, you can add meal plans to your stay so you only pay for what you’ll use. Read on to find the perfect fit—and how to book it with confidence.

When each plan makes sense
Breakfast Buffet
- You’ll spend days exploring Curaçao and sampling local eateries.
- You want a hearty start but prefer lunch and dinner off property or at your own pace.
Full Board Plus
- You prefer a set daily dining rhythm with lunch and dinner covered.
- You’re happy with unlimited soft drinks and don’t need alcoholic beverages included.
Full Board Deluxe
- You want meals covered plus the convenience of two included drinks per meal (including house beer, wine, or house spirits).
- You like predictable budgeting without separate bar charges at lunch and dinner.
Practical tips to maximize value
Book direct for extra perks
- Direct bookers enjoy exclusive benefits such as a Free Breakfast Voucher (one per registered guest, per stay), a Free Welcome Punch Coupon, and a Complimentary Late Check-Out till 1 pm (subject to availability). These add surprising value, even if you choose a meal plan.
Match the plan to your daily schedule
- If you’ll be out on excursions most afternoons or evenings, the Breakfast Buffet may be the most cost-effective. Staying poolside or on property all day? Full Board options keep everything simple.
Consider your beverage habits
- Prefer mostly water and sodas? Full Board Plus includes unlimited soft drinks with lunch and dinner. If you’ll enjoy wine, beer, or spirits with meals, Full Board Deluxe often pencils out better.
Use family-friendly options
- Children up to 12 get a 50% discount at breakfast, and ACOYA offers a children’s menu at lunch and dinner—use these when mixing à la carte dining with a meal plan.
Take advantage of Happy Hour
- La Lagoon Pool Bar & Restaurant hosts a Friday Happy Hour from 6–8 pm (not valid on special event days). If you’re not on Full Board Deluxe—or if you’d like drinks beyond your included selections—plan to unwind during this window.
Know how payments work on property
- ACOYA operates as a cashless resort and accepts major credit and Maestro/Cirrus debit cards—convenient if you’re mixing a meal plan with à la carte purchases.
