I have only stayed in the cottages and yes, there is a safe for each cottage in one of the rooms.

We have stayed in the Villas and Junior Suites and they also had safes. There is a small charge for the use of the safe.

When we travel to Bonaire, we bring w/us a doorknob lock which we utilize on a bathroom door after placing all of our valuables in it for the day. We politely inform the maids we won't need that room cleaned and (before this post)no one can get into it anyway.

Rich... can you provide more info on the doorknob lock? I'm trying to figure out what it looks like and how it works.

Me too! I would love to have information on the doorknob lock.

A door knob lock is a round hollowed out metal casing that opens similar to a clam. It is hinged and is designed to fit over the knob. It is much larger than an actual doorknob. It secures into itself with a key. It then spins freely when turned over the knob. When secured onto a doorknob, the doorknob lock completely covers the doorknob, thus you are unable to turn the actual doorknob to open the door. My girlfriend was married to a pro golfer on the European tour and she used it all over the world. Bathrooms are the one room in a hotel/motel/condo you can pretty much be assured will have a standard doorknob.

Thanks Rich, after I posted I sort of figured it out based on something my brother had on his stairwell door so my youngest nephew didn't take a header. Appreciate the info

Could someone let me know if Capt. don's has a microwave in the room, I know it has a refrigerator. Also, any other information would be great. Thanks a bunch, Judy

We usually stay in the Oasis cabins and they normally have a microwave, but not always; as they are equipped by their individual owners.

Grasshopper, I looked and could only find sites that sell the children's door coverings, which by the way are the same concept of the metal door knob locks we possess.

is this door local cover knob really needed? is security in the rooms that much of a problem>?

By Susan (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1552) on Monday, June 5, 2006 - 10:39 pm: |
I've stayed at Captain Don's something like 7 or 8 times. We do get the room safe door (the safes are in all the rooms; you pay $6.00 extra and you get a door for it) for our wallets, passports and airline tickets and such.

Great, Norm - but don't be reckless. I'd hate to hear something happened despite of or because of my reassurances!
|
By Rich Penksa (BonaireTalker - Post #78) on Tuesday, June 6, 2006 - 12:34 pm: |
My take on it is this... I've been on Bonaire three times and have not had a single incident, that I know about, with having anything taken.
