Last week, we visited Bonaire for the first time and had an incredible experience at Harbour Village. As a family of four with two teenage boys, the two-bedroom suite was ideal for us. The resort is impeccably maintained, from the grounds and rooms to the beach. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. Whether you're a diver or not (our family is a mix), the resort caters to both. The beach and pools are quiet and secluded, making it the perfect spot to relax and recharge.
Pepe and the dive staff were outstanding. We participated in several boat dives and thoroughly enjoyed the guided sites, which are generally less accessible from the shore. We also did a lot of self-guided shore diving, and the tank exchange program at the resort was seamless.
We spoke with several other guests who mentioned they visit Bonaire regularly and only stay at Harbour Village. Now I understand why! We will definitely return to Bonaire and will undoubtedly stay at Harbour Village again.

You can't beat staying in a condo within a resort! We enjoyed all the comforts of home while being just steps away from a private sandy beach, where I encountered more wildlife than anywhere else on the island (including two octopuses, huge eels, sea cucumbers, spotted drum, lionfish, scorpionfish, conch, massive tarpon, flounders, puffers, angels, anemones, and parrotfish). Additionally, we had daily housekeeping, room service, beach service, a spa, a dive shop, boat trips, and a souvenir/sundry shop at our disposal.
Another fantastic feature is that 100% of the beach chairs, tables, and hammocks are shaded by dense palm trees, and even during peak hours of spring break, only 20% were occupied. There was always a table available at the restaurant, which offered great service, an excellent breakfast, a good lunch, and a passable dinner. Plus, there are plenty of great dining options within walking distance. With ample parking in Bonaire (even downtown) and driving on the right side, you can easily reach almost anywhere in 15 minutes.
This has now become our second favorite lodging of all our travels. The only downside is the laundry situation—there are no washer-dryers in the beachfront condos (even for a fee), and while they do offer laundry service, it's not included and requires filling out a form (we had a one-day turnaround). Our favorite place (Tulemar in Costa Rica) offers the same amenities (except the wildlife is on land) but includes laundry service in the price, where you simply leave your clothes on the bathroom floor, and they return them clean.
