The standard check-in time for all our accommodations is from 4pm on (until late). The standard check-out time is 10 o’clock in the morning, but if we don’t have immediately following guests, we are of course very flexible and in that case our guests can stay until they have to go to the airport.
However, if we expect guests right after their stay, we will have to ask our guests to actually check out the accommodation at 10am.
If they don’t want to take the risk, our guests can of course book an extra night (upon availability) or choose for a late checkout upon payment.
And if they unexpectedly have to get out the apartment early, then they could also consider buying a day pass at one of the ‘beach resorts’ on Bonaire, where they can spend the entire day, usually for around $ 15-20 per person, swimming, take a shower, change clothes, and they can also store their luggage there. It is also posible to store the luggage at the house.

Please inform us about your flight details, the estimated time of arrival.
Bonaire Ocean Villa’s is the property and rental manager of your accommodation. The hosts of Bonaire Ocean Villa take care of the check-ins personally and they can easily be reached via WhatsApp, telephone or e-mail, always with very short response times.

Bonaire’s delicate environment benefits greatly when linens and towels aren’t cleaned every day. As such, Bonaire Ocean Villas takes care of the beginning and end cleaning and if our guests desire more (service) cleaning, we will be happy to ask for quotes for that with the cleaning companies we work with. Of course, more than enough towels and bed linen will be provided for the entire stay.

Enjoy the comfort of private terraces, infinity pools, and lush tropical gardens. Each villa is exquisitely designed and equipped with modern amenities for an unforgettable stay.

In short:
At the time of the reservation we ask for a 33% down payment to confirm the booking. The rest is due 2 months prior to your arrival. Cancellation before that last 2 months will cost that 33%. Within the 2 months prior to your arrival, cancellation will cost 100%.

Most travel insurances cover these costs in case of force majeure, health issues or family matters. Therefore, our advice is to always get a good travel insurance!

Bonaire is located just off the coast of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean, part of the Dutch Antilles island chain that includes the more developed Aruba and Curacao. We are please to be well outside the hurricane belt. Latitude/longitude (GPS): 12°10′ N 68°17′ W.

Bonaire is a small (111 square mile, 288 km2) island, only 3 to 7 miles (5 – 11 kilometer) wide and approximately 24 miles (39 kilometer) long. With the exception of Mount Branderis and the north western areas near Washington Slagbaai National Park, the island is primarily flat. It is also quite arid, averaging only slightly more than 20 inches (510 mm) of rainfall annually, most of which falls autumn through January. Easterly trade winds wash over the island year round, helping to dissipate the heat, with average land/air temperatures ranging in the low 80’s Fahrenheit (around 27C).

Bonaire has no public transportation and only a few taxis that are often occupied during the cruise season therefor we offer our guests a complimentary or additional pickup. Bonaire Ocean Villas asks her guests to first come to the accommodation for the check-in, before going to dive shops or grocery stores. If our guests are having trouble finding the way to their holiday home, the Bonaire Ocean Villas hosts will be happy to meet their guests somewhere else, for instance at the airport.

Pickup-trucks are great for touring, getting you to your shore dive sites and taking you around town to sample the local cuisine. You do not need to obtain a local drivers license or permit to be able to drive on Bonaire, though you do need to be at least 23 years of age to rent a vehicle. Driving on Bonaire is most likely not the same as back home. We don’t have traffic lights, hardly any traffic jams and probably different rules about right of way.

Bonaire operates on Atlantic Standard Time (GMT-4), but without daylight savings (no summer time change).

Bonaire’s official currency is the US dollar. Credit cards are widely accepted but be sure to have your passport or photo ID available. There are several banks with a 24-hour ATM available.

There is a convenience store that is open until late (for our late arriving guests). You can find it here: https://goo.gl/maps/a58jHVp6DdsDny927
Furthermore there are excellent wine and liquor stores and larger grocery stores within a 5-minute drive. The Bonaire Ocean Villas hosts can give you directions to the nearest and best stores.

Bonaire has a fringing reef and iron shore, leaving few areas for natural beaches. You can enter the water for swimming or snorkeling via the ladders on the dive docks along the boulevard or at the dive centers (please ask the dive center personnel first, if you’re allowed to use them), where you enter into no more than 3 feet of water. There are also man made beaches near town, and two lovely combination coral/sand beaches (Ti Amo and Windsock Beach) heading south, as well as a smooth sand area great for small children out at the protected lagoon of Lac Bay.
