Are the courts in the center of Kralendijk behind the Maduro & Curiels Bank public? Does anyone know how scheduling works and how much it costs to play? We will be there in April. thanks RA

There reportedly is some tennisschool there, started by Elizabeth from Harbour Village. I don't know how it works, I must admit... I've only been using Plaza's courts up till now.
If you do want to play, either go very early in the morning (7-8ish) or wait till the sun is gone.

Hi - thanks for the response - do you have to stay at the Plaza to use their courts? RA

Rose, here is an advertisement from the Bonaire Reporter....don't know if it will help you or not...good luck! (George, I hope it's OK to post this ad on BT...)Carole

"Tuesday--Harbour Village Tennis, Social Round Robin 7 to 10 pm. $18 per person. Cash bar. All invited. Call Elisabeth Vos at 565-5225 /717-7500, ext. 14."

We have 2 newly resurfaced courts at Sand Dollar, next to Mango's Restaurant. Anyone can play (non-marking tennis shoes only please!)-fls 25/hour ($14.29) daytime, fls 35 ($20) at night, if you're not staying at Sand Dollar. Tel 560-6170 (anytime) or 717-3985 (12-2 or 6-10pm) to reserve, or just stop by Mango's. We'll help you find a partner too, if you need one.

Also handy, they're right next to the bar.

Wow! Thanks for all of the information -- If this is representative of how friendly and helpful Bonaire is I'm even more excited to be there! RA

Rose, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Wait until you actually plant your feet/fins on Bonaire soil...you will never want to leave her again. Carole

Hey Ruth,

Do I need non-marking shoes to sit at the bar??

-dave.

P.S. Love ya!

Dave,
Since the bar is about 'half-way' between the courts and the pool, I think NO shoes would be more appropriate at the bar.
Although it's now been a month since I was there, I don't remember seeing a
"No Shirt"
"No Shoes"
"No Service!"
sign.
