Cultimara: Downtown Kralendijk Supermarket
  • Tip Rating:
  • Updated By Echo_29 on January 16, 2005
  • Bonaire Page by Echo_29
  • It is the most centrally located supermarket but a warning: It can be completely hit or miss for finding food items. One visit there was absolutely no pasta, then the next time the chocolate that was abundant is gone and the shelves are packed with pasta...

    The mural on the exterior of the store depicting local Bonairans is pretty fantastic.

    Buy it when you see it!

    Marlis Sail & Canvas Shop: Local Color

  • Bonaire Page by Echo_29
  • Marlis has quite a selection of textile art from Panama. She buys the detailed and colorful handstiched textiles and sews up some fantastic gift items such as purses, children's clothes, pillows and many other useful items. She also has jewelry and art. It is a small shop but dense with items.

    All of the goodies described above.

    A little more than average but worth it for the quality.

    Centro Department Store
    by Echo_29
    There is a little area inland from the pier in town that is considered the shopping center. It is not very extensive and there are some tacky souvenir shops but a few quality stores are in the arcade building and along Kaya Grandi. There are dive shops and some sundry stores as well. Warning: the bookshop is not a book store. It is a stationary-office supply store. Bring your own books as there is not a book store on the island. All in all, not a lot to choose from but this is a refreshing change from America. It gives one more time to spend at the beach!

    Bonaire doesn't have much native craft. There are some simple but sweet paintings of local sights in a few of the shops.

    Average Prices except for Cuban Cigars. They were quite expensive.

  • Small gift shop with quality items.

    More subtle t-shirts, jewelry, small scaled paintings of Bonaire. They do nice gift wrapping too.

    A little more than average but worth it.

    Bonaire Access allows you to set up your VT Bonaire page before you even get home. We went there twice to burn our photos on CDs so we could empty the memory cards. Get there early! They're pretty busy around dinnertime.

    20 minutes US$ 3.00
    1 hour US$ 7.00
    5 hours US$ 25.00

    I think they charged us $5 for a half hour, plus $0.85 per CD.

    You can't miss seeing all the funky arts and crafts around the fence at Lenny's. Ring the bell and walk through the gate. You will be surprised at all there is around the house.
    She has stuffed dolls that have coconuts for heads, live flamingos, several displays, and many pieces that she has painted and made from driftwood. She is a very talented lady that you will enjoy shopping with.

    There are two supermarkets in or near Kralendijk where you can buy items for your condo or bungalow.
    You can buy things by single item or by the case but never anything on a Sunday. or during lunch hour.
    Most all businesses are closed all day Sunday. You may find a couple of convenience stores open in case you just have to have something.

  • There aren't much shopping opportunities in Bonaire from what I saw. All of the shops are located in the main strip of Kralendijk...not too far from the piers where cruise ship tenders dock. Even though there isn't much, there are still some neat little souvenirs you can get for memories.

    Miscellaneous souvenirs and liquors.

    Average Caribbean prices

  • Cultimara is the main supermarket in Kralendijk. You'll find most everything you need there, as far as food goes, as well as a few other things. Overall the selection is pretty good.

    Food, drink, fruit, bread, etc. There are even a small pharmacy and a small electronics department in the store.

    Prices are pretty decent. Maybe a bit higher than in some parts of US, but still reasonable, considering everything has to be imported.

    We didn't need his services, thankfully, but we couldn't resist taking a few photos.
    They have spent a lot of time painting this fence in a replica of the world flags. There is also a lot of funky art inside the fence.
