Sunwise insider tip
From Kavel 17 - Turtles Place, you're just minutes away from one of the most extraordinary underwater worlds in the Caribbean: Bari Reef and Isidel Beach Park. Bari Reef is internationally recognized as an exceptionally rich dive site – according to REEF, it ranks number one in the Caribbean for fish biodiversity, with over 300 recorded species. The reef starts just below the surface and is easily accessible as a shore dive. Adjacent Isidel Beach Park offers a calm entry point ideal for snorkelers and beginner divers alike. An absolute must from your base in the heart of Kralendijk.
Just so you know
Shared garden – The outdoor area surrounding the complex is shared with other guests. The setting is cozy and tropical, and it's a great chance to connect with fellow Bonaire enthusiasts.
No indoor dining table – There's no separate dining table inside the apartment, but the furnished balcony provides a wonderful spot to enjoy your meals al fresco.
City sounds – Thanks to the central location in Kralendijk, you may hear the lively sounds of the island's main town in the background on some evenings – a true Caribbean soundtrack.

The neighborhood
Kralendijk's center offers the waterfront boulevard, moorings with sailboats and motorboats, and colorful colonial facades: you're 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. Perfect for those who want everything within walking distance and love an evening stroll along the boulevard. For divers and snorkelers, the Playa area is a fantastic base thanks to quick access to the west coast dive sites; for foodies and shoppers, this is the place to be. Expect energy, convenience, and the shortest travel times to all the amenities Bonaire's capital has to offer.
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 Turtles Place. 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.
