Bonaire Travel Tips

If you happen to find yourself in the sleepy town of Rincon, stop by this comfortable café run by Rose herself. The staff is friendly and the no-frills atmosphere let's you get right down to business -- trying Rose's delicious food!

For hungry and curious patrons, we recommend you try the goat stew so you can taste the traditional flavors of a home-spun Bonaire favorite! The restaurant also serves up healthy portions of traditional Bonaire favorites like salt-fish, fried chicken, black-eyed pea cake, red beans and rice and more. 

Looking to get your pink on? The Flamingo Sanctuary offers close-up views of our favorite pink-feathered friends in their natural habitat. Throughout the year, you can watch the flamingos hang out or nest by the "Pink Lake."
 

Although this sanctuary is technically off-limits to tourists, if you happen to have a pair of binoculars or a healthy appetite for adventure, you can enjoy a number of flamingo vantage points to watch and take pictures of these rare birds. 

You've come to Bonaire for the sun, sand and the beach. You've spent your day splashing in the waves or diving the deep. Afterall that activity, you are bound to be hungry. Luckily Bonaire is host to a number of scrumptious restaurants that are sure to satisfy any palate.

But what about ice-cream? If you're stricken with a sudden sweet tooth, head over to the Sand Dollar Shopping Plaza and enjoy the best and only ice-cream shop on the island. Once there, you can choose from 16 homemade favorites that keep sweet-cravings at bay. If you're adventurous, check out caramel pecan, mint and espresso ice cream.
