Harbour Village Beach Club Bonaire

Great location! Lovely beach. Easy access to walk to town without being in the middle of cruise-ship drop-off. Loved the amenities of our room (beachfront one-bedroom suite). This property is just the right size, not one of those giant resort properties. The staff was incredibly friendly, groundskeeping does a wonderful job caring for the beach area and furniture. The private beach was wonderful and relaxed; we loved how there was plenty of shade under the palm trees and no need to race for a palapa rental every day! Restaurant staff was very friendly and provided us with some great sight-seeing tips. Lastly, we had a late afternoon flight and the resort staff was incredibly kind in allowing us to have a late checkout. I’m sure that can’t always be accommodated when the hotel is booked. But it was wonderful having a relaxed departure.

While we loved breakfast at the restaurant, some of the dinner dining needed improvement, especially the BBQ night. The food was good, but I did not think it was worth $35/pp. My other concern is the use of plastic straws, sugar packets, etc, on beach and so close to the water with a constant 20mph wind. How about no straws or bamboo ones, and provide condiments in glass containers and/or weighted boxes for wrappers?
