Description The bungalow complex is located north of the Jan Thiel lagoon, less than 10 kms of the capital city of Willemstad. This lagoon is a natural habitat of a large colony of flamingo’s and once served as a salt exploitation plantation. De Plantage is within minutes from shops, restaurants, nightlife and beaches, but still secluded enough to give you the privacy and well-deserved rest you expect during your holiday. The bungalow park consists of 8 comfortable and stylishly decorated tropical bungalows. These units are all completely furnished with a complete kitchen, stove, fridge, airconditioned bedrooms and a cooling fan in the living room. There is a telephone in each bungalow, wireless internet connection, cable TV with most American stations as well as the Dutch station, BVN. In the peaceful bedrooms there are linens, lamps and a baby cod can be placed for a small fee.
