Harbour Village Beach Club sits on a private beach along Kaya Gobernador N. Debrot, a short drive from the center of Kralendijk. It is classed as a luxury property, and its setting, with a working marina on one side and the sea on the other, gives it a more polished, resort feel than most places on the island. Guests have two outdoor pools, a full-service spa, a gym, a beach bar and the La Balandra restaurant, along with a dive and snorkel operation and a coral nursery and reef project offshore. Rooms range from marina-view standard rooms to courtyard-view doubles and beachfront one-bedroom suites with a sofa bed and, in select suites, kitchens.
Location and getting around
The resort is about a seven-minute drive from the airport and about four minutes by car from Fort Oranje and the Bonaire Museum in Kralendijk, with several restaurants within a short walk. A free airport shuttle is available on request during the day and evening, and free self-parking makes a rental car easy, which you will want for Washington Slagbaai, the salt pans and the east coast. Te Amo Beach and Donkey Beach are about a ten to twelve minute drive away.
The rooms and the feel
The room list runs from standard rooms with two queen beds and marina views, through courtyard-view doubles, to beachfront one-bedroom suites that sleep four. Rooms have Nespresso stations, and select suites add kitchens, which helps families and longer stays. The tone is relaxed but attentive, and the marina and beach setting suits couples, divers who want comfort after a day on the reef and anyone celebrating.
Good to know
Rates are at the upper end for Bonaire and rise in winter and holiday weeks, so shoulder months offer the best value. Free Wi-Fi is included, and the spa and dive services can be booked on site. Check the resort for current dining hours and any seasonal changes, and confirm room view and bed type when you book, because the room types differ in size and outlook.
It is less suited to travelers who want a lively nightlife scene on the doorstep or a budget stay, in which case a mid-range base closer to the main waterfront is a better fit.
