I haven't slept through the night since we got here last Saturday. Is there any place on this island that doesn't have barking dogs? I'm guessing perhaps the Sand Dollar might be immune since it is all rentals and no residential houses within hearing distance. Can anyone confirm that or suggest another location? Ordinarily we love a residential neighborhood, but I've got to get some sleep!

I slept well at The Plaza, no barking dogs there. Probably any of the resorts along the shore would work.

I can always count on this forum to provide what I need most. In this case it was cheering me out of my morning grumpiness and you've done that. Thanks!

I call it the canine chorale .... I solve it by closing all the window and turning on the AC in the bedroom, and the white noise covers the barking.

A small fan placed right beside your bed or on the bedside table. Works for me !

An Kelly's suggestion has a secondary benefit, it keeps the gnats and mossies off of your face!!

Nathalie, I'm in Santa Barbara. The combination of dogs that bark at everything and a number of feral cats keeps things lively all night. But we had the same canine chorale in Belnem. It seems to me that most fulltime residents have dogs that bark. I understand the feeling of security that must give.

We are at Sand Dollar now-it's quiet and I slept great--right by the water!

To answer the OP, I have never once heard a barking dog from Port Bonaire.

I'm in DFW. We have barking dogs, early AM trash trucks, ambulance and fire sirens...and MY barking dogs. But, we have no ocean, no donkeys, no parrots, no pelicans diving for their breakfast.
