Harbour Village Beach Club

This was our second time in Bonaire and there was no doubt in my mind, we would stay Harbour Village. There are so many other places we will visit but when we want peace and quiet, this will be it. We came for a milestone birthday, the staff did everything for us, from arranging airport transportation and we say the friendliest face picking us up, Huntley. He was the same gentleman that greeted us last time and he remembered us. He said welcome home. We were greeted again by Sietze and Shainyn, who were and still are incredible host and genuine in their welcome. The rooms are very clean, the entire property for that matter is well kept. I spent a lot of time in the beach, you wouldn’t think there are birds around, the chairs, the hammocks, the beach, everything is always impecable. We wanted to explore so rented a car for the day, we never had to leave to get the car, it was brought to us and picked up at the hotel. Driving in Bonaire was not as bad as I thought it was going to be either. The hotel staff recommended Loc Bay, it’s a must see. The most beautiful place I’ve even seen, we passed the flamingo sanctuary and a few donkeys along the way. For my birthday, hubby arranged for flowers to be sent to our room, they were just gorgeous. We also booked massages, it was also amazing. First time we came to the island and Harbour Village, we just went for walks downtown which was easy and beautiful. We had all our meals at the Balandra on the property for every single meal, we tried this time only lunch outside of the property which was ok. We wound up doing all of our meals again at the Balandra and again it was amazing. Every single meal was made to perfection with fresh ingredients every single time. A special thanks to Claudia, she was here last year as just as sweet and attentive as she was then. Silas was such a gentleman very attentive, my favorite thing was each meal he would say “I have some delicious (insert meal) for you, enjoy and always stopped to say hello and check on us. Manuk at the Balandra was also very sweet and attentive. On our first night I didn’t quite want a full desert but wanted something sweet, she gave me a few green tea packets and lotus cookies (coffee cookies) and that become my daily treat, each night especially on my birthday she made sure I left with cookies when she heard we watched movies at night. If you’re like us and just keep to yourself on vacation, a great recommendation is to bring your own Roku or fire stick and hook it up in the room. Last but not least, my favorite thing was each day after being on the beach, I’d end the day in the pool, which was always clean. I would just float under the open clear skies for almost an hour each day, this became a ritual. The first time we came, I thought it was pricey but let me tell you, worth every single penny. This was and continues to be luxurious, relaxing, peaceful and just above and beyond.

Loved this week away from home in paradise. Fantastic snorkeling from the shore as well. The staff is really wonderful and grounds are shaded by palms and so well kept. Stunning landscaping and pretty beach.

Really enjoyed our stay. Not perfect but close. Would recommend and hope to return. Location great. Loved the private beach and on-site restaurant La Balandra. Food very good and servers very friendly.

Everything was excellent. We stayed a Sat to a Sat and this is our 4th time to Bonaire. We have stayed in many places in Bonaire and Harbour Village was the best so far. We used the diving services every day and ate in the restaurant for breakfast and several times for lunch and dinner. Everything was wonderful, from the staff to the grounds. Highly Recommend.

We are recurring guests. It is a beautiful property. It is very peaceful and tranquil place to stay. The food is delicious and the service outstanding.

Great room, great beach, great snorkeling, great restaurant. What more could you ask for in a resort? The grounds were immaculate. The staff was friendly and helpful. Being snorkelers we had the beach to ourselves most of the day since the majority of people staying were scuba divers.
