Djambo

Djambo came to our rescue when we turned up at our planned accommodation and they knew nothing about us. We were taken to our room on the upper landing (14) and shown the ins and out of it, free wifi, a/c and the safe and then the great kitchen/patio area. The room overlooked the bar area / pool area and had a great view when the sunset. The rooms were kept clean and towels were changed when ever you put them in the basket outside your door, there is a great area for you to keep your dive gear next to room 5 and there are wheelbarrows to take your kit to the car park where the cleaning station is for all your gear. Your given 3 keys on arrival, 1 for your room, 1 for the dive storage area and 1 for the gate to get into the complex. Djambo is in a great location, 5 minute drive to the supermarket, dive shops, petrol station, local shops, restaurant's, and the airport (but the airport noise does not affect you in anyway). We have never been made to feel more welcome by Martin, Ilse, Dick and Liselotte (sorry if I've spelt it wrong), anything you need they were always on hand as both couples live on the complex, and if you need them out of hours there is an emergency intercom you can use. There are only 17 rooms built around the pool and bar area and are stocked with everything you need, pots and pans, plates, cutlery, continental oven,4 gas rings, kettle and coffee maker. We've been lucky and travelled a lot but I can honestly say this is the best holiday I have ever been on, it was so relaxed the diving was great and again the accommodation was fantastic, so much so we are going back in March for another 2 weeks. Thanks again for a great holiday, see you soon. Eileen & Billy

We stayed at Djambo in January 2012 for 8 nights to escape the sad Dutch winter. Djambo is a small accommodation with seventeen appartments. The one bedroom appartments have an outside kitchen which we especially enjoyed. The bedroom was big and clean. The bathroom was maybe a little small but also very clean. There was a safe in the appartment and also free internet is provided. The big supermarkets are about 2 minute cardrive away which was very convenient. We would like to go snorkel in the morning and then return in the afternoon. Have some lunch at our apparment and enjoy the pool. In the evening we would go to a restaurant in Kralendijk, it is however also possible to cook in the appartment if you would prefer that. The 'centre' of Kralendijk is about 5 carminutes away, it is also possible to walk there. I would recommend this property to anyone. Especially since the bigger hotels are so much more expensive! We went to the Divi for a trip with the catamaran and we were glad that we did not pay that much more for what we saw at that resort.

This premises opened December 2009. It is located within 5 minutes drive from the airport and a 10 minute walk from the town centre. The joint owners make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The accommodation has everything you need. The kitchens are well equipped and there is wifi almost everywhere on site. The beds are very comfortable and there is good sized room safe which is a great help for all you valuables, cameras, ipads etc. There is a large pool surrounded by sun loungers and chairs with sun umbrellas if it gets too hot for you. For divers there are good wash tanks and secure storage and drying area for your kit of the sun. This was our third visit to Bonaire and we had a great time there. We will definitely stay at Djambo again. Our thanks to all of you there who made our stay so enjoyable! heel erg bedankt

Djambo was just what we needed for our first trip to Bonaire. It is close to the beach and the town centre, and easy walking to restaurants and shops. It is very quiet, and is adults only (important for me as I am a teacher on spring break!). All of my emails were answered promptly and Dick and Liselotte were super helpful and accommodating. The pool is very clean and cool with lots of spots to sit and relax. The bar opens from 5:30-7 and you can chat with other guests or the owners. The room was clean and we really liked the outdoor kitchen. We stayed on the top floor because my husband is a light sleeper. You get the afternoon sun so it's warm but you can close the doors and there are still shady spots to sit with them open. The bed was really comfortable. There was little noise at the hotel at all really. It was lovely. And excellent value!

We have had a 10 days stay ad a four persons apartment. It is a very quiet en excellent stay. You can walk to Kralendijk. As soon as you are entering the complex, je think you are on an island at Bonaire. A big swimming pool, surrounded with a nice garden and beds to sit or lay into. There is enough privacy to relax. You can change your handtowels as often as you like and the cleaning of your apartment is often enough. The kitchen is good and there was a large refrigerator with freezer. The owner are living next door so if you have any question they are very willing to give you the right answer. We think Djambo is a must.

My wife and I stayed here for a 10 day dive holiday. Djambo is clean, quiet, friendly and relaxing place to stay for a dive holiday. This was our 4th time in Bonaire but first time here. As divers, we are not looking for the amenities of a 5 star resort or a place to party at night. We liked the proximity to shopping, the ability to cook in a lanai setting, or the option of walking into town for a restaurant meal. We'll definitely be coming back. Thank you Martin & Ilse for making things easy!
