Houseboats in Bonaire

"Terrific new renovations, great food, good snorkeling at their beach. There are some things to see on Bonaire, but you could just stay on the property and have a great time."

"Bonaire We loved our 8-day vacation in Bonaire at the Grand Windsock. We stayed in a beautiful, well-equipped 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa with private pool. The villa was next to the airport so we certainly were aware of planes taking off and landing (and the occasional slight whiff of jet fuel) but there are not many flights in and out of the island each day so we had no issue with it. We actually enjoyed seeing the planes coming and going. Our villa was clean and comfortable with a lovely in-ground pool and full-sized fridge with water and ice maker being two of our favourite features. Unlike what we read on this site and heard from the Grand Windsock itself our second bedroom was unlocked - very convenient for a place to stow extra luggage and set up a place to pack when we sadly needed to return home. It seems like a small thing for the resort to leave it unlocked but we certainly appreciated it and seeing it left open on our arrival made us feel valued and welcome. Housekeeping and pool service were as promised once during our stay and left things sparkling clean. Since we had our own pool we only swam in the main pool once but it was very nice too. While staff were kind and friendly, service is “island time” so adjust your expectations here and elsewhere on the island. We walked over to the ocean club most evenings to watch the sunset and also to snorkel a few times. They have quite a few parrotfish that hang out near the stairs but take care when the water is rough s"

"Beautiful place. Great location. Friendly staff"

"Great friendly staff that are very accomodating and helpful. Location right on the water, along with dive shop on premises. Good area on island and quick drive into downtown or dive locations. "

"Everything was great there, the location was right across from the beach where you could go snorkeling and swimming, dive centre, restaurant and car rental all in one place Just take OFF as there are sand flies that bite "

"Always very quiet and the staff is so wonderful to deal with. "

"Staff - very nice and helpful . Daily ship tours should provide a little more info for snokelers "

"It was the most beautiful resort that I have ever stayed at. The lazy river and pool were gorgeous and the view... wow!! Very convenient for diving. Dive shop is on the property and lockers were close. Rooms were pretty basic, but clean and comfortable. My only two complaints were that the bath towels were looking a bit worn and rough and our room 2nd floor pool view by dive shop was right in front of the kids slide so it was pretty noisy from 9am - 7pm which cannot be helped. Stay on the South side if you want ocean front views. "

"Very nice resort."
