Question about Caribbean Court Apartments

[payal83]

Is Caribbean Court fully furnished? What I mean is: the kitchen fully furnished with plates and pots and pans and utensils? I saw some pictures of the apartments there and they have everything else, but when they say "furnished" does that include the kitchen stuff?

Thanks

The apartments at Caribbean Courts are all individually owned - so what you get will depend on who you rent from and to some extent what the person before you left behind. There is one person who rents out about 10 different apartments. This person includes plates, glasses, coffee mugs, usually a strainer, a couple of pans (possibly very beat up), silverware and usually some mixing bowls, etc. Generally speaking you will not need to bring anything and are better off checking what you have when you arrive and then buying what you need at either Bonaire Superstore or (much better) Scarlett Flower Shop - which doesn't sell flowers. Generally speaking you will not get good pots and pans - so if you may want to pack your favorite if you plan to cook - but you can also buy these on the island. Generally speaking the silverware will not be good quality and what you can buy will not either.
I live on the premises and have been inside maybe half the apts in the complex - so I know what is in them.
Hope that helps,

Okay, I'm really sorry people, but I have a few more questions about this place, I can't get a hold of my realtor, so if anyone could answer a few of my questions I'd really appreciate it :)

1) How far away is this place from school (walking distance)?
2) Is it a gated complex?
3) I know each apartment is different, but is it 110V (US voltage) or do you need to get a converter?

It is a gated complex
It is a far walk from school, about 25 min walk
No converted needed, power bar is a good idea
