Stocking your bungalow’s kitchen: a smart, simple plan

Bon Bini’s bungalows feature a kitchen—and many guests appreciate the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen—so you can prepare breakfast, pack beach snacks, or cook a relaxed dinner. Use this plan to shop once and settle in fast.

First 24 hours: the starter list

• Breakfast basics: coffee/tea, milk or plant-based alternative, bread/tortillas, eggs, fruit
• Hydration: water, juice, electrolyte drink mix
• Quick bites: yogurt, granola, nuts, crackers, cheese
• Easy dinner: pasta + sauce or pre-washed salad + protein
• Household basics: dish soap, sponge, paper towels, trash bags

Pantry essentials that go the distance

• Grains/pasta, rice, or couscous
• Cooking oils, salt, pepper, basic spices
• Canned/tinned items (beans, tomatoes, tuna)
• Condiments (mustard, mayo, hot sauce)
• Snacks (chips, dried fruit, dark chocolate)

Fresh and local favorites

Choosing seasonal and local products supports island businesses and often means fresher flavors.

Tip: Plan simple, repeatable meals so you cook less and enjoy more.

Making a reservation: simple and straightforward

• Check the schedule at reception. Departure times are fixed and posted at the front desk.
• Reserve your seats in advance. Reception can take your request; advance booking is recommended to secure your spot.
• Arrive a few minutes early. Be ready in the lobby/pick-up area to keep departures on time.
• Ask about the return. Confirm your pick-up time back to the resort so you can pace your shopping.

Practical tips to maximize the Bon Bini free shuttle

• Shop with a list. Group items by aisle (produce, pantry, dairy, household) for a speedy trip.
• Bring reusable bags. Easier to carry and better for the environment.
• Mind fridge/freezer space. Buy what you’ll reasonably use during your stay.
• Go light on glass. Choose lighter packaging when possible for easier transport.
• Beat the heat. Pack a small insulated tote for chilled items if you have one.
• Stay flexible. If a return shuttle is later than you’d like, adjust your list to essentials first.
