“A home for the holidays”

Happy Holiday Homes was a great discovery (see more reviews on Tripadvisor). This is not a hotel or resort, but a 14 unit apartment rental complex with a kitchen (microwave, large refrigerator, stove, etc.) PROS: *Located south of the main town, close to the southern dive sites and 15 minutes from Lac Bay for windsurfing. *Units are SPARKLING CLEAN and far better than the $200+ resort place we stayed at later in our trip. *Louise (owner?/manager) responds to emails and requests quickly and promptly. She was a great resource for our first visit to Bonaire. *Louise will stock your fridge before your arrival with groceries per request. She can also arrange for car/truck rental! *A kitchen allowed us to cook all our own meals. Island restaurants are quite pricey and the hours are restricted. We ate when we wanted to and cooking was easy with our well-stocked kitchen. *Wash tank/hose in the front of each unit with a locked closet to store dive equipment. All our wet/sandy equipment stayed outside so our apartment's floor and bathroom stayed clean! *Safe location. CONS: *This is not a resort, which suited us, but some people may prefer the large resort with bar/restaurants or amenities. *No ocean view. *Our double bed was two twins pushed together. It was fine for the few days we were there. *No daily cleaning service. Again, we preferred this but some people have different expectations. I recommend Happy Holiday Homes highly-can't wait to return!

“Pleasant place, quiet neighborhood.”

This establishment is in a quiet neighborhood and close to snorkeling. Upon arrival we found out that the price quoted did not include air conditioning. You should inquire about this. The unit did have ample over head fans and we slept fine. Lots of space outside for washing our equipment and handing out things to dry.
