Vronie & Geert
Absolutely fabulous place to stay. We came here on our honeymoon for the month of November and couldn't have been happier! Geert & Vronie go above and beyond to ensure... read more you have everything you want and/or need. We stayed in the penthouse room and thought it was fantastic - felt really private as there are trees on either side of you and a low-hanging palm leaf roof. They even put a couch outside for us when we asked!
We also did a LOT of snorkeling and diving all over the island and came to the conclusion that the reef right out back of the house is hands down one of the best. It's private since only residents can access it (unless you want to swim from Andrea I & II) and we had many days of snorkeling and diving right from home.
The location on the island is also great. Very quiet area that's an easy 6 min drive into town. There's a grocery store about 2 minutes away (not the best but good enough to get the essentials - like bug spray!). The house is situated right next to the road that takes you north to lots of great diving - Andrea I & II are within walking distance, we even swam there multiple times, 1,000 steps, Webbers Joy, etc.
We are already planning our next stay! Thank you Geert & Vronie for all that you did while we were there :)
4th Time is the Charm: Unrivaled Bliss at One Ocean Boutique Apartments & Suites Bonaire - Returning to One Ocean Boutique Apartments & Suites on Bonaire felt like coming home to a slice of paradise. Our affection for this gem of a destination only grows with... read more each visit, and this time was no exception. Opting for the penthouse once more, we were reminded of the unparalleled privacy and breathtaking views it offers. Despite the property being fully booked, it retained its serene and uncrowded ambiance.
Waking up to the soothing sound of the ocean each morning was a daily luxury, setting a peaceful tone for the day. The ritual of starting my mornings with a swim in the crystal-clear waters as a form of exercise was both invigorating and a reminder of the unique pleasures this location offers. The convenience of snorkeling directly in front of the house allowed us to effortlessly explore the vibrant marine life without the need to travel.
What can I say that hasn't already been echoed in numerous glowing reviews? The cleanliness of the apartment, its spacious terrace, the mesmerizing sunsets, and the comprehensively equipped kitchen (complete with a dishwasher) all stand out.
However, the true essence of One Ocean lies not just in its facilities but in the people who breathe life into it. Vronie and Geert, the proprietors, continue to embody the epitome of hospitality and kindness. Their dedication to ensuring our holiday was as relaxing and enjoyable as possible played a significant role in our overall experience.
Our repeated stays at One Ocean are a testament to how holidays should be spent — in comfort, surrounded by friends, and with every need anticipated and met. It's no surprise that we, like many before us, find ourselves planning our next return to this haven on Bonaire.
Sunny regards,
Joris and Petra
A beautiful apartment with incredible views and just steps from your own reef to explore! - We just returned from a fabulous 12 day stay at One Ocean in Bonaire. After reading other reviews, I booked our stay in the 2 bedroom Penthouse apartment and... read more from that point on, everything exceeded our expectations! Vronie and Geert are so organized and communicate everything you would ever need to know before the airplane even lands--restaurants, transportation, sights, etc. They recommended VIP dive center to complete our daughter's OW certification and she completed her course by day 3 and we were soon diving as a family! We loved having a driver meet us at the airport and having the truck we rented ready for us on arrival at the apartment. I knew I had chosen well when every day my family kept saying, "you did well finding this place!" We were close to our favorite spots on the northern coast and just a nice drive to the southern sites of Red Slave and Salt Pier. Our favorite time of the day was watching sunset from the huge balcony, eating dinner outside on the deck and a couple of times, my husband went night snorkeling looking for his favorite moray eel, Ed, on the house reef. The penthouse apartment was super clean, beautifully decorated, and had the best ocean views we could have every asked for!
