Sunwise insider tip
The Sunwise Insider Tip for this location
One of the highlights of this studio is the direct access to Bari Reef, one of Bonaire’s most beloved shore diving spots. From the pier at Den Laman, you can enter the water for an unforgettable dive among vibrant corals and a wide variety of marine life. Perfect for beginners and advanced divers alike, and with Dive Friends Den Laman only 10 meters away, everything is within easy reach.
Just so you know
Just so you know
No pool on site – but the Caribbean Sea and a small sandy beach are just steps away for a refreshing dip
Some city sounds nearby – with shops, restaurants, and Isidel Park close by, convenience outweighs any minor noise
Access via stairs – the second-floor unit is reached via a broad staircase, as there is no elevator in the building

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 Den Laman Needlefish. 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.

Restful and Relaxing Week
For the second year in a row my stay in Bonaire was at Den Laman in the Needle Fish unit. The unit is perfect for a couple with a kitchen, nice living area and bathroom. Been visiting Bonaire since 2011 and the host Cecile and Simon showed the most wonderful hospitality during both visits to Den Laman. Den Laman has easy access to Bari Reef for snorkeling and diving with beautiful sunsets daily. Its location is close to several great restaurants, shopping and just a five minute drive into Kralendijk. Had a minor issue at beginning of week and Cecile and Simon wasted no time in taking care of it. I highly recommend Sunwise Bonaire and their beautiful properties. I look forward to returning for a stay with them again.

Beautiful Place to stay
The Apartment has everything you need for a longer stay. Kitchen is well equipped. Room, bed and balcony offer enough space. Very friendly staff and owners. Communication is very easy. Located directly along the shore with a divercenter just 10 m from the building‘s entrance. We liked it very much!

Needlefish at Den Laman
We had another great diving vacation in Bonaire. We stayed at Den Laman (our 5th stay there) in the Needlefish studio. Elisa with Sunwise was great. She was already there for our check in and right on time with our check out. We used the onsite Dive Friends Bonaire for our diving needs. The onside pier and tank facilities are excellent!!! Bari Reef (the house reef) is also very nice. We will be staying there again in August.

Nice Apartment
Apartment Needlefish was a good choice for my holidays. Inside, it has everything you need. Situated in a condominium by the seaside and right next to Dive Friends scuba center, very convenient for divers. There was only one detail that was a bit annoying. The magnetic key to open the door to the apartment was not working properly and only opened after 4, 5 attempts. This was really annoying, but also it is easy to fix, just changing the doorlock mechanism. I hope the problem would be solved by now. Apart from that everything was perfect

The unit has everything for your accommodation, as shown in the photos on the website. Hosts are always available to resolve potential issues quickly and efficiently. We will be back!!
