We had the pleasure of staying at Mitzi’s studio condo at the Sand Dollar Resort in Bonaire for two weeks in February 2019.
Mitzi’s condo is updated and superbly appointed, with everything that a holiday traveller would require. The condo is beautifully decorated in a palm tree theme and has a completely equipped kitchen, including a stove with oven which is very difficult to find in most Caribbean accommodations and which enables one to be able to make any type of meal they desire. The condo is immaculately clean, and maid service includes sweeping and washing floors, cleaning the bathroom, refreshing towels and bed sheets several times a week. There is a clothesline on the front sitting area for hanging your wet clothes. There is also parking directly in back of the condo. The resort is a short 5 minute drive to the heart of Kralendijk and 10 minutes from the airport.
The outdoor sitting area directly faces the Caribbean Sea, not 75 feet in front, with a view of the beautiful Caribbean, flowing bushes, trees, palm trees and cacti. It is only a very short couple of minutes stroll to the sand beach whereby you can step right into the water to swim, snorkel or go diving. To the immediate right of the beach is a wonderful small reef teeming with schools of small fish, angelfish, trumpet fish, various corals, and other colourful aquatic life. We were so thrilled to be able to snorkel anytime we wanted throughout the day from the shore without having to spend money on a boat to take us out when we wanted to snorkel.
There are plenty of diverse and reasonably priced restaurants within walking distance of the main Sand Dollar entrance, including a fabulous bakery/sandwich/dessert/coffee place called In Between 2 Buns within a 2 minute walk, and the Doner Station, a wonderful Middle East food eatery just across the street from the bakery.
Mitzi is certainly a super host, always responding to any queries that we may have had within minutes of receiving them, and was extremely friendly, accommodating and gracious to us. It was a real pleasure dealing with her. As well, the staff that work at the Sand Dollar Resort were extremely helpful, courteous and friendly in any interactions that we had with them.
The Sand Dollar Condo Resort is a very safe, quiet and relaxing environment which enabled us to have a wonderfully stress-free vacation in the sun, and we would have no hesitation in returning to Mitzi’s little piece of paradise in Bonaire again.
