Whether you’re here with family or friends, these practical tips help you enjoy shared serenity while making the most of the resort’s standout amenities.
What Makes Our Pool a Tropical Oasis
Bon Bini Resort Curaçao combines the privacy of your own bungalow with the ease of resort comforts. The pool is centrally located, making it a natural gathering spot to cool off and connect.
- Lush setting: A refreshing outdoor pool nestled within a tropical garden.
- Easy relaxation: Comfortable lounge chairs and dedicated sun-terrace spaces for soaking up the Caribbean sunshine.
- Family-friendly: A designated shallow section offers a safer space for children and non-swimmers under supervision.

Pool Etiquette 101: The Essentials
A harmonious pool scene is built on small, thoughtful actions. Use these simple guidelines to keep things calm, clean, and welcoming for everyone.
1) Share chairs fairly
- Only occupy loungers while you’re using them.
- Avoid reserving spots with towels or personal items for extended periods.
- If you step away for a longer break, free up your lounger for the next guest.
2) Keep sound serene
- Play personal music through headphones.
- If chatting in groups, be mindful of nearby guests reading or napping.
- Take long calls to a quieter area away from the water.
3) Practice water-wise safety
- Supervise children at all times—especially in and around the shallow section.
- Walk, don’t run, to prevent slips.
- Keep inflatables and pool toys to a manageable size and number so others can swim comfortably.
4) Choose pool-friendly snacks and drinks
- Use non-glass containers to avoid breakage around the deck.
- Tidy up promptly and use nearby bins so the space stays spotless.
- Save full meals for your bungalow veranda or the many dining options at Mambo Beach Boulevard, just a short walk away.
5) Respect personal space
- Give swimmers a comfortable buffer when entering the water.
- Avoid splashing near those sunbathing or reading at the edge.
- Offer a friendly hello—but read the room; some guests treasure quiet time.
6) Keep the water crystal clear
- Rinse briefly before swimming to remove sunscreen residue and sand.
- Reapply sunscreen away from the pool edge to prevent slick spots.
- Secure long hair to reduce shedding in the water.
7) Be courteous with floaters and toys
- Share community toys kindly and return them when finished.
- Store personal items neatly to keep walkways clear.
8) Be mindful if you smoke
- Step away from others and follow any on-site signage or staff guidance.
- Dispose of ash and waste safely and cleanly.
9) Dress for comfort and courtesy
- Wear appropriate swimwear in the pool.
- Use a cover-up or towel when moving between shared spaces.
10) When in doubt, ask
- Our multilingual team (English, Spanish, Dutch) is happy to help with pool guidance, spa bookings, and local tips.
Meet-and-Mingle: Friendly Ways to Connect with Fellow Guests
One of the joys of a shared pool is the light, social energy that builds naturally through the day. Here are easy, respectful ways to connect.
- Start with a smile: A warm good morning goes a long way in a relaxed setting like ours.
- Time it right: Early mornings and late afternoons are naturally quieter; midday brings more conversation.
- Offer to share: If you have a beach read to trade or a deck of cards for the sun-terrace, invite others to join.
- Compare day plans: Swap ideas for Mambo Beach, nearby watersports, or your favorite spot on the boulevard.
- Keep it inclusive: Small gestures—like making space on a lounger row—help everyone feel welcome.
If you’re craving variety, the beach is steps away. Direct bookings include free entrance and a personal beach bed at Cabana Beach, making it easy to continue the conversation seaside. Looking for total unwind mode instead? Book a relaxing treatment at the on-site spa and return to the pool refreshed.
