Overall, it was a great place

This villa is part of Delfins Resort but still very private and you really have your own space, especially the private pool. They have a pier which you can enter the ocean and snorkel or dive w/o leaving the resort. Not really a problem persay, but it would’ve been helpful for the listing to have shown photos for this specific villa instead of including other villas. This villa was 4 bdrm - 3 of the rooms had a shower and vanity attached and the master suite had a full bathroom with a toilet. There were 2 additional toilet rooms (1 upstairs and 1 down) with no vent fan and they were within interior walls so there wasn’t a window either to allow circulation which made them hot and muggy. There are A/C units in the bedrooms and living/kitchen combo which is nice! The electrical outlets for this villa were all Europlugs and the resort can loan convertors to you if you aren’t prepared. Overall, it was a great place to stay, especially with having access to all the resort amenities. Read more

The apartment was outdated

The photos of the apartment did not match the reality. The apartment was outdated and the refrigerator squeaked continuously. Read more

I can’t recommend staying here highly enough

This was such a beautiful spot to stay in Bonaire! The apartment was lovely and modern with a balcony (we spent so much time out there at all times of the day)! The location was perfect. I can't recommend staying here highly enough. Read more

22nd Apr 2022 by Daniel Bresseleers about Casa Hummingbird with a landscaped beach around the pool via

Perfectly located on the beach

When I arrived it was a bit difficult to find the location but I recognized it from the pictures. Location just next to Jibe City. Practical but simple studio. Perfectly located on the beach if you came for a windsurf vacation. Air conditioning was good to keep the place cool. Small but simple kitchen. There is no hot water in the shower but I did not miss it during my stay. Would recommend to anyone for a windsurf vacation. Was able to stay after regular check out time as I had a late flight.

Close to the beach

After Covid messed up our plans Sunwise reacted very accommodating. 2 years later our vacation could finally take place and we had a great vacation on Bonaire. A fantastic beautiful and fairly new vacation home (Honkie Tonkie). Close to the beach and downtown Kralendijk. Highly recommended. Read more

Wonderful Stay at Den Laman Yellow Tail

We stayed at Den Laman in the Yellow Tail unit for 8 nights in early December. This is a one-bedroom ocean front unit on the second floor. This was our first trip to Bonaire and after several weeks of debating on where to stay we chose Den Laman based on the good reviews, the location, the fact that it had (at that time) an on-site management company/front desk which we thought would be helpful being our first visit, and that the pictures and website stated and showed a very small beach area.

Shortly after our booking, we received notice that there was no longer onsite management and the units were being managed by different offsite agencies. The Yellow Tail is now managed by Sunwise Bonaire. I contacted them a couple weeks prior to our departure to make sure everything from our reservation had transferred over to them correctly and to ask a few questions. They were always very prompt with their replies. They also picked us up from the airport the evening of our arrival (we didn’t want to get a vehicle until the next morning; being our first visit, we didn’t want to figure out where we were going in the dark…). While it would have been nice to have the front desk available to exchange beach towels daily, ask questions about restaurants, places to visits, etc., we managed just fine without it.

The Yellow Tail unit was very spacious and clean. We arrived on a Saturday evening and departed early on a Sunday morning (8 nights total). Housekeeping came and cleaned and replaced towels on Monday/Wednesday/Friday which was plenty for us. We thought they would just be replacing towels, but they mopped, wiped counters, etc. The terrace is very large with two loungers and a table with 6 chairs. The air-conditioning worked very well and there is a unit in the bedroom and the living room. There was a drying rack on the balcony which came in handy for our beach towels, swimsuits, and snorkel gear. The kitchen was modern and pretty well equipped. We did purchase some small aluminum baking trays and foil as there was no oven safe bakeware. We also did not find any hot pads to remove items from the oven so used the dish towel. Other than that, there was everything you could possibly need, including a small cooler. We had a light breakfast and occasional lunch at the condo and made dinner three of the eight nights. The bathroom is large, but there was no bathmat, and the way the shower was positioned with no door or curtain, we had to use a towel as a bathmat as the water did not stay within the shower floor. The bathroom floor was very slippery so some type of bathmat would be helpful.

The small beach area was nonexistent. The pictures on the websites must have been taken at a different time of year or when the tide was out. There is no way any beach chairs could have been placed anywhere or they would have washed away. While disappointing, we still loved the location. Being able to snorkel right from the dock was wonderful. We enjoyed the location as there were a few places we could walk to for dinner/lunch if we didn’t want to drive, the dive operation onsite was very good, and the snorkeling/diving right at the condo was wonderful. The restaurant onsite was also good for our arrival night and night prior to our early departure.

The first evening, a Saturday, there was very loud music coming from somewhere, but I couldn’t determine where. It didn’t seem to be from the Coco Beach side, almost seemed like it was from the Sand Dollar side (but sound may travel strange…). It was so loud that we could hear the thumping in the bedroom, with door closed and air-conditioning on. This went on until 1:30 AM. I began searching for somewhere else to stay, in the event it happened again the following evening. It did not; all other nights were very peaceful. There was a concert being held at the Coco Beach side on Thursday evening. We heard them testing the sound system in the afternoon, but the music did not bother us at all that evening.

There is some construction going on next door (between Den Laman and Coco Beach). The drilling and jackhammering, etc. was a bit annoying on a couple of days and dust was blowing, but there is quite a lot of construction on the island so it may be hard to avoid it anywhere. Not sure if the construction caused the dirt on the terrace or what, but it was very filthy. Pretty much didn’t want to walk out on the balcony barefoot as our feet would turn black. Didn’t use the lounge chairs as they were very dirty, and being cloth, hard to wipe clean. We did wipe the table and chairs and used those all week.

While there were a few minor inconveniences mentioned above, we still really enjoyed this condo and would not hesitate to stay there again. I’d give it a 4-1/2 out of 5 stars…. The corner units on the 2nd floor appeared to have even larger terraces, and that’s what we may look into next time. While I may have mentioned negatives above, the positives greatly outweighed anything that wasn’t 100% to our liking. Read more

Best place to stay!

We stayed at Den Laman for the second time and it was amazing as always. The accommodations were perfect and Cecile and Simon and the whole team were great. We had a slight hiccup with the wifi and they were incredibly responsive and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend Den Laman and Sunwise Bonaire. Read more

Perfect for divers!

This is a very comfortable house that would work well for 3 couples or a family. It has a beautiful view and is up the hill from the water so gets a nice breeze. It is well laid out with a nice flow. The patio serves as the primary living space out by the pool. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. The grill works well--we used it several times. Perfect for divers. We used the wash tank and hung our gear out to dry every day--it was convenient to have it right where you park the trucks. Was nice to have a washing machine and there is a clothes line for drying. Only potential issues for people to consider is that it is about 10 minutes drive from town and will definitely require a rental. And the drop off from the pool to the parking lot is quite high with no fence, so people with small children will need to be careful. But for us (two couples on a dive trip) it was perfect.

Would stay again 👍

Everything was as described. Check-in was easy even I arrived very late. Would stay again. 👍

Amazing Villa Wayaka

Words can not describe this amazing place. Clean, safe, tropical, sunshine, great pool! The fold up panels in the kitchen that open up to the outside eating area create a great bar and even the cook can stay engaged with the party. Amazing ….
