This was my first stay at Hamlet Oasis. I've passed by this property numerous times on the past and have always thought it would be a good choice. Our group was 9 people; myself, my 3 children, one of my brothers, a former coworker and his wife and 2 of my coworkers friends. The accommodations were clean and exactly as described. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. There is an outside shower (which had warm water), a very large gear storage room with a washer, a wash station right out side the gear storage room, a patio with a large table and some chairs, a 'gazebo' out by the water that provided shade. Also, there were some chairs on a flat cement spot by the seawall at the end of the property were we all spent a great amount of time looking out at Klein Bonaire in the mornings and evenings.
The only issue we faced was the parking. We had two groups so we had two vehicles. The parking spot was large enough to park the trucks end-to-end but not side-by-side. Also, the narrow street to the villa was one-way from 0900 to 1700 (9 am to 5 pm). However, it was easy to mitigate this problem because there is a small parking lot close to the northern gate (there are two gates; a southern gate and a northern gate) where I would park my truck in the evening.
The Dive Friends dive shop right on the property was a GREAT
and convenient place for getting dive gas.
This property is right on the 'Cliff' dive site and had stairs from the property down to the water. We took advantage of that convenience a couple of times.
We were all very happy on this property. These Bonaire trips are an annual thing for my family so I'm sure I will check this property first when scheduling the next vacation. By the way, the photographs of the property you see on this Vrbo site are a very accurate view of the property.
If you have a group of 8 - 10 people, it is my opinion that this property would be a very good choice for your group. Happy diving and bon bini, babies!
