Well done! From entry to exit, this place takes very good care of you. They want to make sure your stay the best it could possibly be. A lot of credit goes to the front line people working at the front desk. They listen well and make sure that they do everything they possibly can to make your stay first rate. A+

This was our second time in Bonaire and there was no doubt in my mind, we would stay Harbour Village. There are so many other places we will visit but when we want peace and quiet, this will be it. We came for a milestone birthday, the staff did everything for us, from arranging airport transportation and we say the friendliest face picking us up, Huntley. He was the same gentleman that greeted us last time and he remembered us. He said welcome home. We were greeted again by Sietze and Shainyn, who were and still are incredible host and genuine in their welcome. The rooms are very clean, the entire property for that matter is well kept. I spent a lot of time in the beach, you wouldn’t think there are birds around, the chairs, the hammocks, the beach, everything is always impecable. We wanted to explore so rented a car for the day, we never had to leave to get the car, it was brought to us and picked up at the hotel. Driving in Bonaire was not as bad as I thought it was going to be either. The hotel staff recommended Loc Bay, it’s a must see. The most beautiful place I’ve even seen, we passed the flamingo sanctuary and a few donkeys along the way. For my birthday, hubby arranged for flowers to be sent to our room, they were just gorgeous. We also booked massages, it was also amazing. First time we came to the island and Harbour Village, we just went for walks downtown which was easy and beautiful. We had all our meals at the Balandra on the property for every single meal, we tried this time only lunch outside of the property which was ok. We wound up doing all of our meals again at the Balandra and again it was amazing. Every single meal was made to perfection with fresh ingredients every single time. A special thanks to Claudia, she was here last year as just as sweet and attentive as she was then. Silas was such a gentleman very attentive, my favorite thing was each meal he would say “I have some delicious (insert meal) for you, enjoy and always stopped to say hello and check on us. Manuk at the Balandra was also very sweet and attentive. On our first night I didn’t quite want a full desert but wanted something sweet, she gave me a few green tea packets and lotus cookies (coffee cookies) and that become my daily treat, each night especially on my birthday she made sure I left with cookies when she heard we watched movies at night. If you’re like us and just keep to yourself on vacation, a great recommendation is to bring your own Roku or fire stick and hook it up in the room. Last but not least, my favorite thing was each day after being on the beach, I’d end the day in the pool, which was always clean. I would just float under the open clear skies for almost an hour each day, this became a ritual. The first time we came, I thought it was pricey but let me tell you, worth every single penny. This was and continues to be luxurious, relaxing, peaceful and just above and beyond.

We have just returned from an absolutely wonderful and memorable stay at Harbour Village. Our entire stay was seamless and truly unforgettable. The pre-arrival information and call were incredibly helpful in planning our activities on the island. Every suggestion the hotel provided, from the restaurants to the experiences, was top-notch. A highlight of our trip was the exceptional staff at the property. It was remarkable how even while employees were busy with tasks like gardening, watering, or raking the beach, they would take the time to greet us with a smile and a hello. This made us feel truly part of the Harbour Village family. I cannot thank you enough for welcoming our family to the hotel for the week.

We spent a week at Harbor Village. There are some pros and cons to this property. Pros: nice little house reef. We saw a variety of fish, including a spotted eel. Very quiet beachfront- no need to save seats at the crack of dawn. Walking distance to some good restaurants and a 45 minute walk to town. Our beachfront villa was very large and the housekeeping staff was great. Cons: the restaurant was ok. Service extremely slow and a limited menu. Beach service is advertised but not really monitored so you really need to go up to the bar and order. Our room, 322 was on the 2nd floor & on the corner. At first it seemed like a nice spot but….the pool was on one side and very loud in the afternoons. People are enjoying themselves which is what vacations are about but if you enjoy sitting on the deck and enjoying some peace and quiet, this is not the room for you. Also the mattress is very soft & uncomfortable. We don’t like to complain but if a firm mattress is important to you, inquire about the mattresses.

This is the friendliest, most beautiful, peaceful hotel in a lush tropical setting! Once here you do not want to leave! Exquisite quiet beach perfect to enjoy the gorgeous view of the turquoise water. The restaurant, La Balandra serves wonderful meals on a ship like setting where you can watch divers, snorkelers and all the wildlife under water and above! service is friendly and impeccable!

We have stayed at a few other resorts in Bonaire and find Harbour Village to be the best for us. It is smaller and more compact. Much more personable. Love Love it.
