Courtyard by Marriott opens first international hotel in Bonaire

In the Caribbean, Bonaire has a new hotel, and for the first time, it's from an international brand. The Courtyard by Marriott Bonaire is located less than a quarter-mile from the island’s airport, and five minutes from Downtown Kralendijk.

Building design for the 140-room property was led by Coleman Partners Architects. Rooms, designed in neutral shades with pops of color pulled from a spectrum of blues, offer Courtyard’s CYnergy design and décor.

For events, the Courtyard by Marriott Bonaire has three meeting spaces totaling just over 2,700 square feet. Additional guest amenities include a fitness center, infinity pool and BLT Grille, an American steakhouse.

An onsite dive center is scheduled to open within 2017.
