Paradise in Bonaire
Wow! We had a fantastic week at Mike's villa in Hato. The villa is spacious both inside and out, featuring a large, private lanai and a beautiful garden. The property is directly on the sea, and you can snorkel or dive right from the premises. Sunsets were amazing in the gazebo overlooking the water, where we enjoyed pina coladas after diving and exploring each day. The AC was great for nighttime sleeping, with ample fans inside and out. There was a large desk for work, a large dining table, a comfortable sofa, and tasteful furnishings. The kitchen was well equipped, including a good set of knives, and there was a supply of basic spices as well. Leanne, the property manager, is lovely and at your service. She went out of her way to drop off extra towels for us, as well as garbage bags. She gave us excellent recommendations for a dive shop, car rental, grocery stores, and restaurants - take her advice, she will steer you right! We never used the washer, but would have if there had been a dryer as listed (there is none). We stayed in the downstairs unit (the villa is divided into three units). The parties upstairs share the dive locker, garden, and gazebo overlooking the water. This worked fine for us, as our truly huge patio/lanai outside our back door, with sofas and a second large dining table, was reserved for our private use. However, if you wish for totally private accommodations, please note that others share the garden. We hope to be back again.
