Hi..I'm trying to make some plans our flight gets into Bonaire on Saturday evening at 6:30pm. Sunrentals has offered to do some grocery shopping for us. I'm just trying to figure out what all I'm going to need them to pick up. Are any of the Grocery stores open on Sundays?

I believe Cultimara is open on Sunday's from 9 AM to 2 PM. Warehouse is closed Sundays.

More for Less is also open from around 9am to 2 or 3pm on Sundays.

The grocery stores that are open on Sundays, do they accept credit cards?

Cultimara takes AMEX, MC, VISA. More For Less takes MC/VISA.

More for Less also accepts AMEX.

Cash also works at these stores. They ring up everything in local currency (NAF, but also called Guilders) but will accept US$ (at the conversion rate of 1.75 NAF to $1 US, which is what most others do as well even though official rate is 1.78 NAF per $1 US.) Means $10 US = 17.50 NAF; $20 US = 35 NAF, etc. Change is always given in NAF/Guilders. Cultimara does not seem to have any issues in accepting $10 and $20 bills, but may balk at $50 and $100 because of fear of counterfeit bills. Best to only bring bills of $20 and smaller, or credit cards/ATM cards.

Cultimara is opened at sunsays from 9.00 am to 2.00 pm.
More for Less is opened from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm.
Exito N. V., The Bakery.(on the corner of Kaya Princess Marie in town one block before Cultimara)It’s the bakery plus a small grocery store. Open non-stop seven days 8:00 am to 8:00pm (though you should check hours)
This is what I learned from Joan an Alan Zale, BT'ers

Toos, somebody is passing along our research material! Jodi, send us your e-mail address and we will send your our Bonaire suggestion sheet. It has a lot of store hours (based on Feb 2005 trip)

Sorry Alan &Joan.
Sorry. sorry. Didn't want to be impolite. Just thought..........but didn't think enough.

Toos

Just kidding, don't be sorry. That's is why we put the list together, to help people.

You were not impolite, I was just having some fun with you! Joan says people take me to seriously some times when I try to make a joke, maybe she is right.

Regarding groceries, I have a new favorite to pack for Bonaire: those Crystal Light singles packs. You can easily pack them and you just drop one in to your bottled water- instant iced tea or lemonade, and they're designed to dump into water bottles. A great idea if you are traveling with kids who pine for something more than water.
