"I had an awesome solo trip to this hotel. The staff is really nice, the breakfast every day was superb and I loved how quiet it was. "

"Red Palm is glamping. Stayed with my wife, daughter, and sister in law. PROS: Very nice indoor/outdoor floor plan Staying in nature - iguanas, black and orange birds, etc. Excellent bathroom--shower has good water pressure and drainage Modern kitchen Very nice patio area with table Lovely non-chlorinated pool Have movie night once a week--excellent projector and sound system (although film about holocaust...) Excellent central location: 10 min from wild flamingo area (awesome); horse ranch; and outstanding mangrove kayak tour. Another 10 min down the road is a very beautiful part of Lac Bay. CONS: - Frozen meat in the refrigerator when we arrived. Staff cleaned it promptly when asked. - There is a $65 mandatory cleaning fee due at the location. It would be much better if that $65 could be included in the total charge we pay up front. - Limited to no laundry service. While we wash our clothes by hand, it's nice to have a few things washed in a real machine from time to time. - There are a few bugs--some quite large. Must keep AC on at night (28 deg celsius good) to avoid them when sleeping. - Somehow, our AC got turned off and would not turn on for a couple days. Again, staff fixed it quickly when asked. - You may find yourself taking a shower with a lizard or frog. After a few screams we realized they are friendly and they became part of the family. Unique and recommended!"

"Lac Bay was incredible and our favorite waitress, Julia, was a rock star!!!!!"

"Great location right across from Lac Bay Beach with a lovely view of the water from the front porch. Very quiet and safe area. Close to Sorobon Beach if you are a windsurfer. Cute unit shares common grounds with five others. Neighbors we met were very nice. In a rural area with not much around it, so very tranquil. At the same time, a restaurant and bar, Foodies, is just up the road. We cooked on the grill had our meals in the back screen room every night. Cocktails on the porch in front with lots of hummingbird watching. I recommend Lac Bay Casita 1 highly, with a couple of caveats: the AC unit is in the bedroom and it doesn't really cool the whole house. But with all the windows and doors open the breezes keep it comfortable. Lac Bay Beach is great but you can't really swim there as it is so shallow. One of the neighbors had a big, annoying brown dog who had the run of the place. He was friendly and didn't bark but he pooped in the yard. To their credit, the manager did swing by and talk to the owner. Finally, as of April 2025 the pictures on VRBO are out of date and some minor decorative elements have changed; the two built in couches are now a futon and two hulking recliners and the cactus fence was replaced with a stone wall. Also, the only thing we could get on the TV was Netflix but you don't come to Bonaire to watch TV, especially the you have that view of the water! Had a great stay and would gladly return!"
