Bon Bini Resort Curacao

The property shows as if the beach is on the resort. Its not. You have to walk 5 mins off thr resort across a parking lot thru a shopping center to the beach. The give you A beach access pass, however, you dont need beach acess pass because its a public beach. The beach access passes does not even allow younhave a chair or umbrella. We paid 15 dollars per chair per person. 2 people is 30 a day. The internet is very spotty. It didnt work more than half the time. Also, you cant use the air conditioner unless you leave the key card in. The key card is hook to the door lock which means everytime you leave out the air does not stay home. So you come back to very hot house every evening. Did not even receive any information on check in about the amenities on arrival. Pretty much had to freestyle around. I never ever leave reviews because I'm a young person and pretty much always satisfied. But this wasnt what I thought

Great place! Had 2 bedroom bungalow with another couple and felt plenty of space and privacy. Pool is very clean and good size with lovely patio. No dish soap, no hand soap, only a shampoo/body wash gel in the shower. All towels provided for bath and kitchen. Free shuttle every morning to nice large supermarket for food and supplies.

Family of 4 (parents + 2 teenaged boys) stayed for just under one week in a 2-bedroom bungalow. The overall impression is of a very well-maintained and neat mid-range resort. Close access to the Mambo Beach (just a 5-minute walk across the road) which is a nice man-made beach - lots of dining options and some shopping. Also a close walk to a ****** (we didn't go) and the Curacao Aquarium and Dolphin Academy. 45-minute walk to Punda-Willemstad. Photos are very accurate - at least for our bungalow. We rented one of the two bedroom ones - Bedroom one had a king sized bed and the other one had two queens. Beds were a little firm for our taste, but to each their own. Each bedroom has a wall-unit AC (to turn on, you have to put your key card in a slot in the kitchen - keeps people from running the AC while they're out!). Cabinet/shelves and hanging rod for clothes with a small safe for your valuables inside; desk and chair, nightstands on either side of the bed, each with in individual reading lamp. Each bedroom has a TV - we didn't watch it so I'm not sure what's included as far as channels. 2 bathrooms - one ensuite with the king bedroom and the other that had two doors - one into the 2-queen bedroom and the other into the hallway. NO soap was provided (or shampoo/conditioner), so either bring it or be prepared to buy it. Beach towels, bath towels, and hand towels included (no washcloths - bring one if you want one). Hallway between the two bedrooms has hooks to hang stuff as well as an iron/ironing board. Kitchen had a mid-sized refrigerator/freezer, pantry cabinet, glass-top range (NO OVEN, so don't buy something to bake), microwave, toaster, Nespresso machine. Assorted pots, pans, skillets, utensils, storage containers and dishes. BE AWARE - no dish soap was provided, so you'll either need to bring some or buy some. Grocery service is available before you arrive (details sent by the hotel when you register) and a daily shuttle offered at 9:00 am to a nearby grocery store for shopping. Kitchen was definitely adequate for our needs, but unlike a hotel, basics like coffee are not included (fine by me - coffee in hotels is usually pretty gross). Main sitting area off the kitchen has a sofa and chairs, coffee table, dining table/chairs and a television. My only real complaint about the set-up is that the sitting area is a couple of steps down from the kitchen and the tiles are laid such that you can't really tell what's a step - I almost fell down the steps a couple of times. We put a shoe on one step just to help for depth perception. Parking space available right in front of each bungalow - I highly recommend getting a car - taxis are expensive and you'll want to explore. Swimming pool is small but clean with plenty of loungers and shade. Staff were EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. The dog at the gate (Velvet) was also sweet. Cleaning happens every other day after your arrival (i.e., we arrived Sunday, first cleaning was Tuesday, the
