Bonaire Intimate Collection
November 15, 2015I am entering my 29th season owning Caribbean Wind & Sun Vacations. Since the incarnation of my company, there have been many changes including name, islands and inventory. In 2009, I shifted my focus to one island, Bonaire. My target clientele are windsurfers but I have a loyal following of divers, snorkelers and nature lovers.
With the advent of online bookings, my company has indeed been impacted some but, I am blessed with a loyal repeat customer base that returns year after year. New marketing strategies and client referrals have brought in many new clients.
Times have changed on island and properties change. Managers come and go. Some properties renew and refurbish and modernize, keeping up with their growing needs. Since I started marketing Bonaire in 2001, I have seen trends and have made some decisions about my own goals as a tour operator. To stay current and to stay true to my philosophy of offering the best product, I have created the Bonaire Intimate Collection. These properties represent the best of Bonaire. The criteria include excellent management, impeccable reservation support and an excellent quality product.
Stand by as I prepare to unveil this collection. Until then, follow my Bonaire Bliss here and when you are ready to plan your next journey to Bonaire, I welcome your contact.
Gio’s Gelatto – Abrosia in Bonaire
November 14, 2015I try to avoid Gio’s because A. it’s decadent and B. I love my clothes and they fit perfectly…however, I usually make it to Gio’s a few times a month. I tend to order a double of pistachio and vanilla. Recently, I had a sample of pineapple and lemon as well. Divine…
They are open 8 AM- 10 PM weekdays and Saturday and at 10 AM on Sunday. They also serve lovely pastries and sweets. Be warned it’s very chilly inside so pack a light jacket.

Snorkel Bliss
November 5, 2015My friends and I took a boat out to Klein Bonaire last week to snorkel. My two favorite snorkel spots at Klein include Keepsake and Just a Nice Dive, both on the SE side of the island. Just a Nice Dive is a deeper water dive with lovely purple tube and yellow pencil coral. Keepsake is magical. The splendid sea garden is sharply contrasted amongst powder white sand. The site is teeming with fish. To book a guided snorkel trip, rent a boat or learn more about snorkeling in Bonaire, contact Ann Phelan from Caribbean Wind & Sun at ann@bonairecaribbean.com today.
