Welcome to the Caribbean's diving and snorkeling paradise! Villa Makoshi is a part of Perla Boneriano, which consists of seven luxurious villas located on Kaya Gob. N. Debrot, just north of the traffic circle across from Sand Dollar Resort & Buddy Dive Resort. The seven villas surround a swimming pool only steps from our patio.
Across the street are several resorts and dive shops. There are several restaurants/lounges located within the resorts. Next door is a gym that offers various fitness programs, as well as a chiropractor, massage, and manicure/pedicure. Also next door is the MCB Bank which is one of the main banks on the island and has a convenient bank machine that will give you either Nafl or US Dollars. Across the street is a small convenience/liquor store and an ice-cream parlor. Down the street at the round-about is a shopping centre with liquor store, gift store, drug store.
The ocean is across the street and accessible via the several dive shops mentioned above. It is about a 10-minute walk to downtown or a 2-minute drive where you'll find grocery stores, lots of restaurants, and shopping. The airport is about a 5-minute drive. The popular shore diving sites extend from one end of the island to the other, and we are centrally located among them.
All villas have several ecological features: solar hot water, LED lights for the pool, solar-powered evening lights around the property, septic tanks to store reusable water for the gardens. We encourage our guests to remember they are visiting an island and to be responsible with water and electricity usage.
Villa Makoshi, lower level, has all the amenities you will need for a comfortable and relaxing stay on Bonaire. Built by divers for divers!

Why the Owner Chose Hato
While visiting Bonaire several times, we were able to stay on different parts of the island and experience different neighborhoods. We chose this area because of its proximity to the main town, Kralendijk. It's within a minute's drive or a quick walk of the main shopping area. The airport is less than a 5 minute drive. We're also located directly across the street from several large resorts making access to dive tanks & restaurants/bars quick and easy. And most importantly, we're located in the middle of all the great dive sites. So whether you head south or north, you're going to find the best diving & snorkeling in the Caribbean.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
Our villa is very comfortably furnished, with full functioning kitchen including small appliances, pots/pans, dishes, and utensils. An outdoor rinse station & shower are conveniently located within steps of a small side patio & back door making rinsing, drying, and storing your gear easy and convenient. Comfortable patio furniture and a propane BBQ awaits you on the covered patio after a full day of diving. Bedrooms are furnished with full closets, dressers, and single beds, which may be put together to form a queen sized bed. A wash machine is available for your use as well, making longer term visits easy. Our friends own the upper level, which is identical in layout, so we are able to accommodate large families or groups.
Full gym workout facility, also includes chiropractor, massage therapist, manicure/pedicure.
Liquor Store, Convenience Store, Ice Cream Parlor, MCB Bank with Bank Machine.
Owner's Map of Hato
After visiting many popular Caribbean destinations, we visited Bonaire after hearing about the spectacular diving. Since that first visit, we've gone nowhere else! Not only is the diving second to none, the island is very different than other popular vacation destinations. When you arrive, you feel like you're visiting your second home. The island is laid back, quiet, safe, and just feels like home from the moment you arrive. We've brought many friends with us to Bonaire over the years, and most have returned to the island because they too fell in the love with Bonaire.
