Downtown Kralendijk with the boulevard, piers, sailboats and motorboats at the mooring buoys, and colorful facades: here you are right in the middle of restaurants, bars, boutiques, and the departure point for various boat trips, including sunset tours and water taxis to Klein Bonaire. Ideal for those who want everything within walking distance and enjoy strolling along the boulevard in the evenings. For divers and snorkelers, Playa is a great base due to quick access to the west coast spots; for foodies and shoppers, this is the place to be. Expect liveliness, convenience, and the shortest travel times to the amenities in Bonaire's capital: Kralendijk.
Villa Valena 9 is approximately 1.1 kilometers from Van den Tweel supermarket, 2.3 kilometers from Dive Friends Yellow Submarine dive center, 500 meters from Chachacha Beach, 900 meters from the center of Kralendijk and 550 meters from At Sea restaurant.
Sunwise insider tip: Just a few minutes' drive from Villa Valena 9 you will find 1000 Steps, one of Bonaire's most iconic dive and snorkel spots. The name is amusingly a bit misleading: it is actually about 67 steps that take you down to this idyllic little beach. This location is particularly popular with snorkelers and divers because of the crystal-clear water and rich underwater world. The coral reef here is known for its diversity of tropical fish and is accessible for all levels. Don't forget your underwater camera!
Getting Around:
Bonaire and especially the hotspots like Washington Slagbaai National Park, the remote pristine beaches, and the kitesurf and windsurf locations, are best enjoyed with a rental car, as our lovely Caribbean island has so much more to offer beyond the immediate surroundings of Villa Valena 9. With your own car you can explore remote snorkel spots, dive sites and local restaurants at your own pace. We strongly recommend renting a car so you can get everywhere easily. Most roads on Bonaire are paved, but for nature areas like the park, a pickup truck or SUV is advisable. The park roads are unpaved and sometimes rough, making a regular car less suitable. There is no public transport on Bonaire and taxis are limited, especially on busy days when a cruise ship is in port.

We liked the location. Close to walk downtown. Clean. Management very fast to respond. Nice big bath sheets but a face cloth would have been nice too.
Needed better lighting such as under shelf in the kitchenette area. Also instructions for induction cook top in English would have saved time and having to bother management. The hooks in bathroom areas are useless as towels provided too heavy for hooks.
Pool was NOT cleaned every week as was supposed to be the case.
Cleaning staff do the minimum as has I moved sofa to sweep floors and found variety of items/garbage from past renters…medications, hair ties etc. rug at entry curled up and a tripping hazard.
