Last time we were in Bonaire (2006), we brought a small amount of cash and simply visited the ATMs as needed during our stay. Also, many shopkeepers were happy to take the dollar at that time.

Given the currently falling value of the US dollar against the euro, for example, I'm wondering whether the exchange rate is expected to stay fixed or whether it might fluctuate. The news is saying tourists in the Netherlands are having trouble exchanging dollars there. Any inklings of such occurrences in Bonaire? We'll be there the first 2 weeks of April.
