When booking our stay we were quite lucky finding the Caraibas home, since the owners just put it online. From the moment we made our reservation the owners Jaap & Lizanne were very helpful with information about our upcoming travel trip, Bonaire itself, and various sightseeing tours. Both have been living on Bonaire for 6 or 7 years, so they know the island very well.
Upon arrival (2000 pm) Jaap picked us from the airport. After a few minutes drive from the small Bonaire airport to our new holiday home we arrived at the newly built modern villa / house. The home owners, who live in the neighbouring house, gave us a tour and explained how everything worked. The fridge was filled with food and drinks for in the morning (and some more days :-) The house has 2 big and 1 smaller bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a open high ceiling living room with a view on the big pool and sea. Everything looks exactly as on the pictures, is modern and made from high quality materials. Anything one could potentially need on holiday, can be found in the house like towels, all utensils to cook yourself if needed, tourist information, air conditioning, flatscreen televisions with amongst others Netflix, and flawless working WIFI, and much more.
Beware that most streets in this area are not paved, so one needs to be aware of that. We came to Bonaire to get our PADI open water diving certificates (Beyond the Corals dive school; professional kind people and highly recommended) and therefor we rented a pick-up truck as most visitors do. This definitely helped us when driving around the island.
Twice a week, the villa is cleaned, and I believe once a week the pool. Every now and then Jaap & Lizanne check in via Whatsapp to see if everything is fine and if they can assist with anything. As said, they live next-door so any issue would be resolved quite quickly I can imagine.
We, the three of us including 1 thirteen year old, stayed form the 20th until the 30th of December 2018, and had a wonderful time. Being a bit spoiled form earlier travelling, I can only speak highly about our warm welcome, superb stay, and pleasant service. I surely can recommend anyone staying at the Caraibas holiday villa. Thank you Jaap, Lizanne, and off course little Willem!
