How to Choose: Practical Tips for Families and Adults-Only Travelers

Use these tips to match your travel party with the right property.

1) Start with kid policies

• If you’re traveling with children, shortlist Blue Bonaire, Casita Palma, Vista Alegre, Kura Kabana, Pink Lagoon, Bliss Bonaire, and All Seasons.
• If you want a peaceful adults-only escape, choose Bamboo Bonaire (13+).

2) Plan baby and toddler sleep needs early

• Reserve cribs where offered: Pink Lagoon (free for ages 0–2, on request) and Casita Palma (USD 5/day).
• Where cribs aren’t provided, consider bringing a travel cot that fits within room guidelines.

3) Anticipate room configuration

• With cribs and extra beds generally limited or unavailable at many properties, look for multi-room or apartment-style layouts when traveling with multiple children.

4) Align with quiet hours and smoke-free policies

• Blue Bonaire’s quiet hours (22:00–08:00) may suit early bedtimes.
• Smoke-free environments at multiple properties can be a plus for families.

5) Lock in arrival logistics

• Several properties ask for your expected arrival time in advance (e.g., Bamboo Bonaire and Pink Lagoon). Share flight details early for smoother check-in.
• Pink Lagoon lists an airport shuttle among its amenities; Bamboo Bonaire offers a round-trip airport shuttle for an additional fee. Arrange transfers ahead of time, especially if you’re traveling with children.

6) Remember island basics

• Bonaire collects a tourist tax at the airport upon arrival, so plan for that stop as you schedule transfers and naps.

7) Standardize your schedule

• All resorts list check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out before 10:30 AM. If you arrive early with kids, pack pool or beach essentials separately to enjoy the facilities once you have access.

8) Consider activity fit

• For dive-focused adults or families with certified teens, Bamboo Bonaire’s on-site dive support (unlimited tanks with air and nitrox, plus rinse areas) is convenient.
• For a culinary highlight, plan ahead for Chefs Fine Dining at Bamboo Bonaire (one dinner seating per night; reservations required). Adults-only travelers may find this especially appealing.

Conclusion: Match Your Resort to Your Travel Crew

• Choose Bamboo Bonaire if you want an adults-only (13+) stay with spa, yoga, salt-water lounging, and notable dive and dining conveniences—all in a calm, smoke-free setting.
• Choose among Blue Bonaire, Casita Palma, Vista Alegre, Kura Kabana, Pink Lagoon, Bliss Bonaire, and All Seasons if you’re traveling with kids. For infants and toddlers, Pink Lagoon (free cribs for 0–2) and Casita Palma (cribs for USD 5/day) are your go-to options.
