Questions
How do I reserve and pay?
Choose your apartment and dates and reserve directly online. Within 7 days of booking, you pay a deposit of 25% of the total amount, or the full amount straight away. Your stay is confirmed once the deposit has been received. The balance is due no later than 42 days before arrival. For bookings made within 42 days of arrival, the full amount is due at once. Payment is by bank transfer, with the details in your booking confirmation. Prices are in US dollars.
Does your stay not quite fit the booking options?
Other dates, fewer nights than the minimum or a later arrival: please do ask. Send me a message on WhatsApp or an email to [email protected], and I will gladly look at what is possible.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel 30 days or more before arrival and you receive the full nightly rate back. Between 14 and 30 days before arrival you receive 50% back. The cleaning fee is always refunded. Different terms apply around Christmas and New Year. Read the booking terms
How do I check in?
You are welcome from 15:00. You can check in on your own with a lockbox, or be welcomed in person by me or our hostess, who will show you everything. Let us know your preference before you arrive. Check-out is by 10:00.
Do I need a car?
You can walk to town and dive straight from the complex, but a rental car makes it easy to explore the other dive sites and the national park. You have your own parking space.
Tip: with our car rental partners you enjoy a preferred rate as our guest. After booking, you will find all the details in your personal guest app.
Is there a tourist tax?
Yes. Bonaire charges a visitor entry tax of $75 per person aged 13 and over, and $10 for children aged 12 and under. It isn't included in the price of your stay: you pay it directly to the government, online before you travel or at the airport on arrival. How to pay
Do I need to pay the nature fee?
Yes, everyone who goes into the sea needs a nature tag: $40 per person per calendar year, free for children under 13 who don't scuba dive. You pay it online before your trip. More in the Bonaire guide
Can I rinse my dive gear and let it dry?
Yes. There is an outdoor shower on the pool deck, and a garden hose for rinsing your gear with ease. Outside the apartment there are hangers to let your dive gear dry.
Can we book more than one apartment?
With pleasure. Book several apartments in the same complex and travel together. Send me a message and I will gladly look at the possibilities.
Are long stays possible?
With pleasure. Whether you are working remotely for a few weeks or spending a period on the island for work, our apartments offer the calm and space to truly feel at home, with a fast connection and a quiet workspace. For stays of four weeks or longer, we arrange a thorough clean every two weeks, at the usual cleaning fee. The earlier you book, the wider the choice of dates. Does the calendar not quite fit? We are happy to think along with you.
