Reviews of Boutique Hotel Wanapa - Adult Friendly - 14 years and older

The nice breeze and quiet place to relax.

The house rules were not clear and wasn’t written anywhere for the guests. It was unclear to me what was allowed and what not. The employees wasn’t on the same page with explaining the rules.

A boutique hotel with fine dining or a A fine dining restaurant with a great small hotel attached - it’s hard to tell. This place is the yardstick for ‘an excellent breakfast’ in hotel reviews - fresh, changing daily and often unique offerings. The restaurant is fantastic nudging against Michelin quality. The rooms are comfortable but simple, whilst the large pool is a magnet on hot days. If you can tell the three tall blond Dutch ladies who work there apart you are doing better than I did, but Fenna the owner runs a great hotel with an exceptionally strong team around her.

The check in or arrival times policy re added costs could be more flexible given some of the flight arrival times into Bonaire

We enjoyed our stay very much. Fantastic location, food and staff. Windsurfer friendly.

Nothing

We had a truly wonderful stay at Boutique Hotel Wanapa. The service was exceptional from start to finish. One of the highlights was the staff’s flexibility and hospitality—they graciously allowed us a late checkout by two hours to accommodate our flight schedule, which made a big difference in our travel day. The hotel itself is charming, beautifully maintained, and offers a relaxing, boutique atmosphere that really sets it apart. Everything from the amenities to the attention to detail exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a comfortable and personalized hotel experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Quite and clean with a nice staff and great outdoor area. Very good breakfast.

Would be perfect with a snack/food available Friday and Saturday evening also.

Beautiful, quiet setting just minutes from town. Attentive, friendly, helpful staff. On-site chef and bar. Delicious, plentiful breakfast.

We only stayed 2 nights. Wish we'd stayed longer.

Nice boutique style hotel with a charming atmosphere and helpful staff. It is about 10 -12 minutes from town so a car would be recommended if staying there. The pool and surrounding deck area were very relaxing to hang out in. We had dinner there on Italian night and also had a few breakfasts as well. The food was excellent! Highly recommend!

The location is a bit on the windy side but there is nothing the hotel can do about that. The wind however does make the location a little more refreshing especially on really hot days.

Friendly, competent stuff Outstanding cuisine Quiet, peaceful place with flair

Little remote place

Location was central but away from tourist area. Everything was 10-20min away by car. Car (or scooter) is a must. Staff was amazing. make you feel welcome and always ready to help.

Very friendly staff and owners, always kind and happy to help you. The pool area is great, amazing pool with comfortable chairs. Very good food, both breakfast as diner. You can take a coffee during the day, use snorkeling gear, there are books and magazines to read, ... everything is foreseen. We can only recommend this place.

Nothing, but a small suggestion would be to put an extra parasol at the pool area for more shade.

Quietly located outside of town. Very clean. The host is very lovely and helpful. Very warm and welcoming, flexible and attentive. From the moment we arrived we felt a wave of relaxation. The staff took great care of us. The fine dining courses are very delicious and the pizzas on Italian night are very fresh and tasty. The atmosphere also creates a relaxed vibe amongst other guests as well. You can interact with each other or keep it very private.

That we had to leave so soon

Nice value for your money

Beautiful quiet and natural setting, no sounds of traffic, only of birds. Delicious and plentiful breakfast served on the patio. Super friendly and helpful staff. Magnesium pool was terrific. Plenty space for parking. Quick drive to Lac, Sorobon, and to town.

Small things such as a napkin with breakfast, a box of tissues in the room would make it even better.

Everything!! I loved the hotel, it’s beautifully designed, cozy, quaint,m. You can really unwind and relax. The rooms are modern yet stylish with island appropriate decor. Beds are very comfortable, AC works very well, the pool and pool area is really nice, all quality decor, furnishings, and everything was impeccably clean. I absolutely loved the premises. And then the food! One of the owners is a chef and on certain days offers dinner (it’s a 4 or 5 course menu) and it’s absolutely fantastic (it’s a fine dining experience). And then breakfast prepared by the breakfast chef. Everything is fresh and homemade. Last but not least all the staff is so kind and welcoming. If I’m ever back in Bonaire I will definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Nothing really but just a note it’s a bit outside of town and you definitely need a car (not really walkable to anything) but Kralendijk is just a few minutes away by car (5-10 minutes) so it’s very easy.

Spent 3 nights in Bonaire at this beautiful property and wished we would have stayed for a while longer. Staff is amazing and helpful, food was great and our stay was beyond what we could have expected! 10/10 would recommend and will come back.

The combination of the awesome stunning location, the sense of privacy it offers, and the comfort of the rooms makes Boutique Hotel Wanapa a true hidden gem in Bonaire. This is not just a place to stay; it's a sanctuary where you can relax, unwind, and recharge in the most delightful way.

The road to the hotel is a bit bumpy and we broke a tire getting to it

Everything about staying at Wanapa was wonderful. My husband and I loved it there. We are staying at a bigger beachfront resort for the 2nd part of our vacation and Wanapa while not on the beach was so much better I wish we had booked it for our entire stay on Bonaire! The building and grounds at Wanapa are beautiful. A photographers dream of cactus, yellow walls, tile roofs, flowers, hummingbirds and lizards. The setting is quiet and peaceful but a close drive to town. There’s a beautiful breeze blowing all the time keeping you comfortable. Fenna and Melvin are just the nicest couple as well as interesting and such attentive hosts. Melvin is an amazing chef. Fenna helped arrange our car rental before our arrival and was always easy to reach with questions.

We loved everything.

A beautiful, quiet, breezy (no mozzies) property in the perfect location between Sorobon, dive sites and Kralendijk. The gardens are young but already beautiful and the pool is heavenly. Loved the iguanas, lizards and hummingbirds. And being located at the end of the runway, it was awesome standing on the rooftop bar terrace watching the planes take off. Only a couple a day and not at unsociable hours so definitely a spectacle rather than a disturbance. And the food, well, it is just amazing. Fenna and Melvin are the perfect hosts. Well done guys!

Slightly noisy dog next door who liked to have barking competitions with the donkeys! Actually was quite funny rather than annoying. We were in the studio with its own outdoor kitchen. Could have done with a couple of extra utensils/essentials such as tongs for the BBQ and maybe a dish cloth and some anti bacterial spray - other than that everything was amazing.
