Boutique Hotel Bougainvillea

The Bonarian is a gem of a boutique hotel. The setting is absolutely stunning, the rooms are clean and large. Carlos is an amazing, attentive and thoughtful host! We ate several of our meals right at the hotel and enjoyed the food very much. The snorkeling was also very good. We will be back for sure!

Only stayed one night but it was the perfect start to our vacation on Bonaire. We had an AirB&B starting the next day so we spent our first night at The Bonarian. We figured it was close to the airport so it would make it easy and while that is definitely true. We discovered a wonderful place. This is a small resort but truly special. We were warmly greeted by Brian at the front desk and he showed us the resort, and how to access everything in our room. He also helps out serving at the bar and the restaurant so we got to see his helpful self quite a bit. The room was clean, comfortable, and right on the waterfront. While the location, right near the airport might put some people off, it's important to remember that Bonaire does not have a lot of aircraft coming and going. For me, watching the few planes come in was actually a plus and nothing comes in at crazy hours of the night or early morning. Dinner here is something to seek out even if you're not staying there. Chef Carlos, also the manager, puts on a great dinner. Nicely prepared, well seasoned, and well assembled flavors. The resort has some lovely cabanas we lounged in, a small pool that looks right out on the ocean, steps to the ocean if you want to dive or snorkel, a bar, and there's probably more to learn about the Bonarian but in our one night that's what we enjoyed. Most important part is that you are made to feel special, welcomed, and appreciated. That's so rare these days. OH! and there are some wonderful iguanas that lounge on the deck and are very used to people, though we chose not to try to pet them.

Das Team von Carlos rockt die Speise-, Drinks und Cocktail inkl Terrasse schöne saubere Zimmer inkl Espressomaschine! Direktzugang zum Meer - Mietauto oder Roller sehr empfehlenswert fūr die Mobilität auf der Insel vorher buchen!!! Viel Spass
