....People are really gearing
up for 2006 on Bonaire. I’ve never seen so much fixing,
painting, refitting, building and just making things better.
Bonaire never looked so good. After spending several days
with our many partners on the island, I can honestly say
they are working harder than ever to show you the best
Bonaire vacation experience possible. And they are rolling
out some great deals to go with it.
....If you think you know Bonaire, I invite
you to visit again and have a look. It is always changing.
I guarantee there is a new discovery – a new adventure – waiting
for you. Just about everywhere you turn, there is something
different -- or something that you might have missed -- that
will delight and surprise you. If you have never visited
Bonaire, then come see why so many return again and again.
....Lucky for us all, Mother Nature blessed
Bonaire as the perfect island to pursue our passions --
in her water, on her land, in her wind, and with her people.
That, amigo, hasn’t
changed a bit.
Ayo,
Cowboy Andy

Update -
Belmar Oceanfront Apartments
It’s little wonder that Belmar
Oceanfront Apartments have
become a favorite of many Bonaire regulars. With its envious
setting directly on the sea and some of the best views on
the entire island, this is a coveted spot for an intimate
Bonaire vacation at affordable prices. Manon, Henriette
and Maureen keep the guests happy and the office running
smoothly, with a personal touch. Belmar has
recently expanded and improved their dive shop, now part
of the Buddy Dive family. Rob manages the small and friendly
operation for Belmar guests.
Many of the apartments have been upgraded and painted along
with new décor and furnishings. But the prices have
not changed a penny. Whether you are diving directly off
the Belmar piers,
making the short trip to Lac Bay for windsurfing or just relaxing
in deluxe accommodations on the water’s edge – it’s
pretty hard to beat Belmar for
their location, price, quality and personal touch. For more

More Adventures – More
Fun
Scuba Diving, Snorkeling and Windsurfing
have always been the Big 3 … but there are other activities available
that are making a name on Bonaire as well. Kayaking and Mountain
Biking opportunities on Bonaire rival any Caribbean island.
Rentals as well as guided trips can be arranged by
any of the resorts and hotels. Kiteboarding Bonaire has become
very popular, with a new school located on the flat waters
of Atlantis, near the solar salt works. The new fast-paced
and adrenaline-laced Landsailing Bonaire can be found on
their own track and course on the windward side of the island,
utilizing the new Blokart (windsurfer meets go-kart). Both
Kiteboarding and Landsailing Bonaire offer clinics and instruction.
And you might not believe it, but the Bonairean Golf Club
is open with an 18 hole, par 71, handmade course. Hazards
include bunkers, cactus and occasional donkeys and goats.
Fairways and greens are not irrigated – its mostly
manicured sand and dirt (Bonairean Bentgrass). Call
it Eco-golf along an oceanfront lunar landscape. Clubs and
pull carts are available for rent. You can leave your Pings
at home.

The Diving is Here; Hurricanes are Not!
It's true. You have a lower risk of having a hurricane or tropical
storm find you on your vacation to Bonaire compared to most
of the Caribbean. South of the “Hurricane Belt”, why not
plan your trip to a destination where diving and sunshine
are year round companions? Find
