Villa Lunt is absolutely wonderful! We were a family with three children (16,14,9) and two grandmothers. The property is spacious and well-appointed. It had PLENTY of outdoor spaces for everyone, and to allow you to move throughout the day to catch the shade and the trade winds. (My favorite spot was the Adirondack chairs at the corner on the main porch!) As is typical for Bonaire, there was A/C in the bedrooms for restful sleep, but no air in the common room. While it was a little warm, if you open the windows you can get a nice breeze through. The rinse tanks available were wonderful for the divers, and this non-diving Mama appreciated the full size laundry machine. Everyone enjoyed relaxing in and beside the pool. If you like local wildlife, we saw many birds, lizards, and iguanas. There were even three parrots that we saw many times.
The kitchen was large and had pretty much anything you could ask for. (I brought my own silicone muffin cups because I never expect a muffin tin.) Lots of plates, cups, etc. We ate at the villa every day but one and never had a problem. WiFi was excellent throughout the grounds. There were plenty of beds and towels for everyone. One grandmother and two kids stayed down in the guesthouse and loved having the separate space.
The communication from Merrill was above and beyond. I LOVED how much information was provided and how clear everything was. The property manager, Lily, was so easy to work with. The location of the villa is a bit north of town, and you can just barely see the ocean from a couple of spots, but we didn't really miss the view that much. The neighborhood was quiet and away from the bustle of town, which we all loved. Still, the dive shop and town was less than 10 minutes away in a car. (A vehicle is a must, though!)
I would gladly stay here again. I hope we get the opportunity in the future. This property comes with my highest recommendation.
