Another fabulous week on Bonaire thanks to your hospitality and the comforts of La Pura Vista! We have been here enough times now that it feels like our second home (only we do not have to work at all). Lovely diving all week too. Thank you for everything - dank je wel! :)

Dear Marco,
Thank you very much for everything.
Our stay was wonderful and we couldn't make better choice. Teymour even says that La Pura Vista beats any 5* hotel on the island! We particularly enjoyed the calm of your place and your morning presence to give us useful information. Special thanks to Asinta for her omelettes ;-)
We'll definitely come back!

We are at the end of a 2-week stay at La Pura Vista. It could not have been a more perfect time! Great weather, a great Island and, most importantly, La Pura Vista itself: a Home away from Home with just the right amount of service and personal attention! We loved every minute here and have already booked our next stay. For us this was meant to be a very special holiday. You have made that wish come true! We are very grateful for that, thank you for everything!

Once again we truly enjoyed our stay at La Pura Vista. The birds singing, the palm trees blowing in the wind. We had the whole villa to ourselves, it was truly a paradise! Last minute, much needed dive vacation and we thank Carla for all the help she has given us. This is our second time @ La Pura Vista and we hope to return many times after this. The piece and tranquility was very rejuvenating. And the beds were fantastic!

Hurray for La Pura Vista!
Thanks to Carla and Asinta we had an excellent dive vacation with an elegant and comfortable place to start every day + rest at night. The breakfasts were hearty and tasty, the in-room fridge and coffee maker were also appreciated. We felt at home but also treated very special and our needs were more than taken care of. We loved the view, the sounds of birds, breeze blowing through the coconut tree, the hammock & pool. Thanks for organizing the dive package and for responding so quickly to all our questions before the trip.We're take home fond memories + our room's message; "life is short - eat dessert first!"
Gracias por todo!

Dear Debby & Marco, Raschka & Asinta, we missed seeing all of you last Christmas and New Years and were very glad to be back. Your hospitality and enthusiasm are ever wonderful. Thank you for making us feel at home again and for the many little things you did each day to make us feel so well taken care of. We wish we could wake up every morning to the sound of waves flowing water from a beautiful pool and squawking green parrots. The New Year's Eve party was great, good company and excellent food. It seems as though there are fireworks going constantly from 6pm to midnight and there is surely no better place to see them than from the top of your gazebo, and every direction.
Wannadive was great again, they were there whenever we needed advice and very professional. The East Coast boat dive was spectacular. Once again, Raschka worked magic at our favorite restaurants and we ate well every night ( even when lots were closed for the holidays) It was a great week, too short but memorable. We will see you again soon. Have a Healthy and Happy 2011- and may the bird be gone soon….. Love from Alina, Duncan, Carlin and Ally MacNichol.

Thank you so much raschka for making us feel like familiy in our own home. There were never any worries. Somehow we picked the best week of the year to come to Bonaire – no wind ! – which made for some of the best diving I have ever done on Bonaire over the last 27 years. The water was like glass and no problem diving by Sorobon and Washington park by boat. I spent most of the rest of my days in the hammock reading or the pool. Such a restful vacation. Thank you so much. Plus our neighbours were so wonderful to us. Showing us around and sharing meals with us. Mirand and Ralph Dawley. Bye bye turtles + Eagle rays + sting rays!!

Dear Raschka, thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful stay. It's not always the case that a place chosen by looking at pictures on the web and guest reviews lives up to expectations; but in this case, La Pura Vista surely did. The layout of the villa is great, and when by the pool, it feels like you're sitting in a postcard. Wonderful breakfasts, comfortable and relaxed surroundings, a nice breeze to sway the palms...on and on. Your warmth and gracious hospitality was the icing on the cake. Thanks much for a wonderful week in Bonaire. Paul

I thought La Pura Vista would be nice after I visited the web site – my hopes where fulfilled when Raschka met us at the airport. She is so positive and upbeat – always has a smile on her face. We loved the personal service and all the special attention ( B-day and wedding anniversary arrangements). The small number of guests made the place feel like ours most of the time. The view from the hammock is spectaculair. We will be back. Thanks Johanna and Frank Watson.

WOW!!! What can we say. This is an absolutely peaceful place! Where one can totally relax & we did!! No phones, no pagers, no overhead pages, no salesman at the front door. A little piece of heaven here on ta beautiful island. Breakfast was always delicious & bed always very comfortable. A big thank you to Raschka & Asinta – we would definitely recommend La Pura Vista.

We loved the info we found on your internet site….But it did not prepare us for the even better, more beautiful beauty's. This place is such a gem! You can't beat the stunning pooldeck view. The welcome by Debby & Marco was so warm, we were able to transition immediately into vaction mode. Raschka was just great in her kind, warm treatment on us. She has so much information and great suggestions for snorkeling, scenic beauty and dinning. She also had an answer for every question asked. In closing, do we want to leave? NO!!! Do we want to come back??? YES!!! That says it all ( we love it here). Thank you so much for everything. Jacqueline & Ricardo Marsan. Florence, Kentucky.

Dear Debby, Marco and Raschka. We have had a marvelous stay, thanks to your hospitality and your excellent recommendations for food and activities. Beginning with our pick-up from the airport all the way to the end of our stay you made us feel welcome and comfortable. You have done a great job with the rooms and the ambiance and we felt like pampered members of the family, not like short –term guests. Thank you for all your efforts to make this such a special vacation for us and for raschka's many emails with Duncan beforehand. We will certainly miss Bonaire and all it's beauty but we will also miss all of you. Special thanks for the last evening celebrating my birthday. Alina & Duncan Macnichol. Charlotte, North Carolina

We felt so pampered during our stay at La Pura Vista. The property layout, including the rooms, the setting, and the breakfasts made for a wonderfully relaxing stay. The owners and staff made us feel right at home, thank you. Four stars!

La Pura Vista is a very romantic and relaxing place to be. Me and my husband visited this place before it turned into an official hotel and we remember very well the very beautiful view, the relaxing swimming pool and the extremely nice owners of this small hotel! We will visit it in the future for sure! Thanks for this great memories....

La Pura Vista is a wonderful home-away-from-home on Bonaire. The accommodation is brand new and top quality, the amenities first class and the hilltop location is a treat. I came to Bonaire for the regatta week and throughly enjoyed my stay. When I wasn't sailing the terrace provided an incredible view of the yachts racing around Klein Bonaire. Thanks to Raschka for looking after me so well and to Miquel of Bonaire Wellness Connexions for the great mountain biking. La Pura Vista is a wonderful spot and the best quality I've found so far in four visits to Bonaire!
