At Sunwise Bonaire, we value transparency. The price you see is always the total price, including all discounts and fees.

• What are the payment terms for my booking?

  For a reservation we require a 25% deposit. The remaining balance must be paid 42 days before arrival. For a last-minute booking, the full amount is always due immediately, as your arrival is within 21 days.

• Can I still cancel my last-minute booking?

  Our standard cancellation policy also applies to last-minute bookings. If you cancel up to 42 days before arrival, you will be charged 25%. After that, unfortunately, the full amount will be charged.

  Most travel insurance policies cover these costs in cases of force majeure, often in situations such as health issues or family matters. That’s why we recommend always taking out proper travel and cancellation insurance.
