New Options for Tourists and Residents for Food Shopping and Sandwiches In Hato, Bonaire

The area of the northern “hotel row” in Hato, just north of Kralendijk, has seen an explosion of development in recent years, and now the area is providing additional services to both tourists and residents in the form of sandwich shops and grocery stores.

The new Eli Deli, which just opened a few weeks ago, is located just north of the Hato traffic rotary in the District shopping mall.  Eli Deli is open seven days a week (schedule does vary by weekday or weekend) and offers omelets and other egg dishes for breakfast and deli sandwiches for lunch or throughout the afternoon.  It’s an ideal spot for divers wanting to pick up sandwiches for between their dives, without the hassle of parking in Kralendijk.  Ana, the owner/operator, goes to great lengths to be sure her customers are happy with such signature sandwiches as her parma ham sandwich with pesto and olives, lettuce, and tomato, but Ana will also build any sandwich to order.  She has a nice assortment of deli meats and cheeses, and customers can eat in the shop, al fresco, or take away.

Two new grocery stores are also making shopping much easier for visitors without transportation who are staying in the northern “hotel row.” The Hato Mini-Market & Bakery has just opened across the street from Eli Deli in the Sand Dollar shopping mall.  This mini-mart offers many of the staples that visitors will want in their rooms for quick meals and has plans to add a bakery soon.

Just up the road a bit further north, the Zhung Kong Supermarket is located just opposite the northern entrance to Hamlet.  For the size of the store, the Zhung Kong Supermarket offers an amazing array of items for both visitors and residents.

All in all, these three new additions will make shopping for essentials much easier for those staying in the northern areas, giving more time to enjoy one’s vacation!  (Source:  Bonaire Insider reporter)
