    Really minor things - could do with a bin and a mirror in the bedroom, and a light above the shower.

    Beautiful big pool which we had all to ourselves. Really friendly staff - super easy to chat over WhatsApp. Really comfy bed.

    It gets pretty hot in the living room(curtains would help as the sun penetrates inside the whole day). We also wished there was some type of 24hour room service as at certain hours it’s difficult to get good food on the island. Also, at first we did not understand/like the cleaning schedule which is every other day, but we did get used to it eventually.

    Spacious, beautiful apartment. Great location and view. Comfortable big beds

    Stay here!! You will not regret it

    The room could have used a few minor additions to put it over the top - namely, a full length mirror somewhere else in the room besides the bathroom, a luggage rack or specific spot to place opened luggage, and also a second trash can inside the room (in addition to the one in the bathroom). Really minor things, but just some stuff we're accustomed to from other rooms we've stayed in. Certainly not a dealbreaker by any means.

    Absolutely loved our room! The outside tub in the middle of our room was so unique! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and we had a perfect stay. The pool area was fantastic as well

    Given that Bonaire is a popular destination for divers, the two main downsides were (1) that breakfast was not possible earlier than 08:00, which is a bummer since many diving excursions start before that and there are not many available options in the area to grab something to eat ; and (2) there are no amenities to store your diving gear (e.g. hangers on the terraces would be nice) and the rinse buckets were out of service.

    First and foremost, the staff! They may not always be around for you to see them, but their availability and flexibility on short notice over WhatsApp was awesome. They were very helpful and kind! The location is also really amazing, downtown is nearby and there is a parking, which also helps.

    What a fantastic Hotel/apartment, Senses offered us much more than expected. The staff is kind, helpful and very nice. I would specially like to mention our hostesses, a big thank you to Eva and Evy for your care and outstanding service, you absolutely made a difference in our stay! The apartments are fully equipped, spacious and beautifully decorated. The location is perfect, walking distance from the city center, restaurants and shops, and right in front of the pier of the taxi boat that takes you to Klein Bonaire (when you book 3 or more nights at Senses, you have 1 complimentary return ticket to Klein Bonaire (usually USD 20 per person). The hotel also lent us snorkeling equipment for the whole family, and a cool box to take to Klein Bonaire. Senses offers a beautiful pool area, and each apartments has a great terrace, perfect for a relaxed breakfasts or a drink while enjoying the sunset. The kitchens are fully equipped, the bedding and towels are of the very best quality, you will get all the amenities that they promise. I would also recommend a lunch or dinner at "It rains fish" the restaurant attached to the hotel, both food and service are great. Bonaire is a beautiful and relaxed island, a perfect getaway for a family or a couple. I highly recommend Senses apartments to anyone that hopes for a relaxed and pampered stay, we will for sure come back... 4 days was not enough! Thank you Senses, we had a great time!

    Great location with a super helpful and attentive staff. They took care of everything we needed, from arranging shuttle service to and from the airport, helping us get a rental car after we landed, and providing good recommendations of things to do, places to visit, and where to eat on the island.

    The pillows were too flimsy and the way to turn on the fan was tricky. Tried the breakfast delivered one time but it was 30 minutes late.

    Clean, modern place. Close to the town center and the restaurants. Friendly hostesses. An ideal place to spend the vacation-did not want to leave.

    Despite the beautiful design there were many impracticalities. Designed to accomodate Dutch visitors, not locals, there was not even a local outlet in the bedroom to plug in local appliances/phone. No closets. Bathroom gets hot as the window is not on the wind side and the air conditioning doesn't turn around all the corners. Communication went through whatsapp, there was someone to welcome us when we arrived, very friendly, and we were able to check in early but we did not see one single person on the premises for the remainder of our stay.

    Beautifully designed and 10 meters from the boulevard, which is why we booked here.
