Detailed Reviews
The Atlantis studio is spacious, comfortable, modern, well-equipped and beautifully decorated. Everything was working perfectly and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The location is great, close to the center of Kralendijk and a number of dive shops, grocery stores, restaurants...
What really sets Casa Mantana apart from other places we've stayed at are the hosts. Mariët and Ton gave us a great welcome by picking us up from the airport and providing useful tips over highly appreciated welcome drinks. They were always available to make sure we had everything we needed or just for a nice chat. We had some problems with the pick up truck we booked before coming to Bonaire and the rental company could not provide a replacement. Ton and Mariët saved our diving plans by getting in touch with another rental company they work with and helping us book another pick up truck at a great price. They even drove us around to get the new truck and return the old truck. Mariët and Ton are truly exceptional hosts - very relaxed, pleasant and genuine people, yet really professional and great at what they do.
Simply put, this was one of the best stays we ever had!

Mariët & Ton really know what they’re doing with their casa; beautifully decorated rooms, very comfortable bed, spacious outdoor sitting, perfect location within 10 mins walking to the many restaurants in the city. All topped with their warm personal welcome and generosity to pick us up from and drop us off to the airport. They even allow us to still use the shower to freshen up before our late night flight back home (really appreciate this! :) ). We felt right away at home the moment we enter Casa Mantana and for the entire 5 active days full of diving and snorkeling we were always happy to go back at the end of the day to a cozy casa.

Great position for the price, just 10 min walk from the centre and a restaurant very nearby. Rooms were spacious with a small outside area. Beds were extremely comfortable. No Tv - but I liked this as it made for lovely and quiet atmosphere. Loved the breakfast it kept us going all day.
Bonaire was at level one whilst we were there - so no face masks required

Every destination has it pearls in terms of accommodation. Casa Mantana Bonaire is one of them. The owners, Mariët and Ton are great hosts and the rooms and studio’s have each got a different theme based on the Bonaire lifestyle. The breakfast was healthy and with a great choice. The hosts were able to guide us to the best places for food and drinks at night and have connections to all prime diving schools and (kite)surfing places.
We highly recommend Casa Mantana and will be returning in 6 months time,,

I stayed in the Atlantis Studio at the front of Casa Mantana and had a wonderful time. The studio had everything I needed, including a fully stocked kitchen and a new, quiet AC and a ceiling fan, and was furnished and decorated with care, which I appreciated. I also enjoyed the small patio outside the apartment (a part of the unit, not a common area) which was surrounded by plants and visited by a couple of geckos, lizards and chuchubi birds (the latter made a nest right above). The parking spot was a couple of steps from the patio, which was very convenient. The location was great as well - quiet and within a short walking distance from the town center. Overall, this was pretty much exactly what I wanted for my trip to Bonaire!

I found Casa Mantana via google. The feeling and impression I got when reading the blogs was my main reason to book. After booking this feeling has been confirmed via e-mail contact. A friendly tone of voice and without asking for it, they send information and tips for renting a car or bike.
After a long journey it is very nice to have a personal pickup from the airport. And the hosts take time for a cold drink with you and give you all the information you need for a pleasant stay at Bonaire. The studio (I stayed for three weeks in the Lighthouse) is just as beautiful as in the pictures. In the kitchen you will find everything you need. Very nice: the air-conditioning is so quiet that you can leave it on while sleeping! Casa Mantana has been furnished with great care and attention in a very stylish and warm way. And I loved the private terrace to sit outside with company of the hummingbirds.
Mariët and Ton make you feel at home from the first moment. They know the island very well. They have a lot of tips and are very easy to reach if you have a question. The interest in my first day of diving course was genuine and very nice. This really made me feel like I was coming home.
The first time Bonaire was a great experience. For me Bonaire = Casa Mantana. At the moment I am scheduling my next stay at Bonaire and without a doubt I will stay at Casa Mantana again!

My stay at Casa Mantana was excellent from the first moment I contacted Mariët & Ton for the reservation. I not only received immediate feedback and confirmation concerning the room I booked, but was as well offered help for any other service I would need during my holidays on Bonaire. They arranged for me the rental car and even picked it up and delivered it for me. Never had this great service before!
The Kitesurfschool they recommended was perfect for me.
Mariët picked me up at the airport, which is especially nice when you arrive at 19.45 hrs after a longhaul flight. Once arrived at Casa Mantana Mariët was taking the time for a beer and a chat and giving me tips for Bonaire.
The room is modern and nicely decorated with all I needed. A good bed, a nice walk-in shower and bathroom, a practical kitchencorner, even a coolbox and shopping bag was there - and a beautiful terrace with plants and a nice breeze in the evenings.
Mariët & Ton are very nice and helpful hosts, who were always happy to chat, when I met them.

Perfect location near the airport, restaurants, shops - and great proximity to dive sites all along the east coast. They have thought of everything and can help you arrange anything you might need - a car, scooter, dive trip, name it. This is a true boutique place with some of the nicest hosts on the island.
Bed was very comfortable with nice linens that are the perfect weight for the warm Bonaire nights - don't worry, the air conditioner works GREAT.

Mi casa es tu casa. Casa Mantana is all about feeling at home. Ton & Mariet make you feel welcome right from your arrival at the airport. The room is so outstanding with airco and fan, very comfy bed and great shower. Best part is your own terras with lounge bed and fan. The perfect place to start your day with a nice cup of coffee or to finish your day with a beer. Mariet and Ton are really interested in their guests, always in for a chat, asking about your day and full of tips for sightseeing, best dive or snorkel spots. They even arrange you a car or scooter or their own bike. I had a great time at Bonaire and that was mainly because of my stay at Casa Mantana. Masha Danki!
