If meeting locals is on your to do list then head down to Posada Para Mira for lunch or dinner, a beautiful, yet tongue-tying name for anyone who doesn't speak Papiamento. Roughly translated it means 'a place to relax' and that's hardly an exaggeration. Located on top of a hill, this open-air restaurant offers breathtaking views of the ocean and the valleys surrounding the oldest town on Bonaire. With over 200 seats to choose from, a reservation isn't necessary, just a craving for traditional island cuisine like grilled iguana and goat meat. The Krioyo menu is excellent, the hospitality is genuine and the free wi-fi is an added bonus.
