Your Bamboo Bonaire Team & CHEFS restaurant

Bamboo Staff

Mick

Front Office

Hello! My name is Mick and I have recently joined the Bamboo team. Living on Bonaire since 2005 and embracing the island from day one. For the first 6 years I mainly worked in the evenings as a restaurant manager, which allowed me to explore Bonaire and its natural environment during the day. In my spare time I like to read, cook, snorkel and/or watch birds. I love all the facets of working at a resort. It is my passion to provide every guest with the most valuable memories on his/her way home. Now becoming the new face of Bamboo Bonaire is a dream come true and I look forward to welcoming you!

It is my passion to give you an unforgettable holiday and I am happy to provide you with tips, arrange trips and many other things. I am convinced that my mission has only been successful if your holiday becomes an unforgettable memory!

Brigitte

Marketing & Sales

Hi! I’m Brigitte.  I enjoy living in Bonaire paradise with my family after moving from the Netherlands in 2009. Often I get the question “Why did you move to Bonaire”? It’s a simple answer, it was love at first sight! I love diving in our beautiful crystal clear ocean, kiteboarding at Atlantis Beach, and enjoying our endless sunsets. I’m grateful for living on this beautiful Island and working at Bamboo paradise. Promoting our intimate and unique boutique resort to the outside world is a wonderful job together with a small and dedicated team. Having a full resort with happy guests makes my day!

Maintenance

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Bamboo Bonaire, located on beautiful Bonaire! My name is Ezra and since the beginning of 2023 I have called this island my home. I strive to ensure that everything is fine during your stay and that you enjoy an extraordinary holiday. You will mainly see me in and around the beautiful tropical garden where I take care of the maintenance of the plants, swimming pools and jacuzzis. We hope to see you at Bamboo’s paradise!

Bamboo Staff Chris

Chris

Maintenance

I am Chris and I have been on Bonaire for 9 years. I was born in the United States and grew up in a loving family. I came to Bonaire for a dive trip and it changed my life completely. I decided to permanently move to Bonaire to escape the rush life of the States. I am passionate about woodworking as I view each creation as its own work of art. I take great pride in the construction and maintenance of the resort as my work is a representation of myself. What I love about Bamboo Bonaire is that everyone feels like family. I can’t wait to meet you at Bamboo Bonaire.

Han & Mark

Owners CHEFS

We are Han ten Winkel and Mark Tromop and have been friends since Culinary School in the Netherlands. Together we cooked our way around the world, ultimately ending up on Bonaire in 2008. Back in The Netherlands, ‘Dushi’ Bonaire turned out to have gotten under our skin as only Bonaire can. The decision to return was quickly made, but this time as Chefs at our own restaurant. Good food and sharing a meal always brings people together all over the world. For us, the social aspect of dining is an essential element. As Chefs but, equally important as Hosts, all our guests get the personal attention they deserve. We offer our guests a cosy evening in an amazing ambiance. We can’t wait to have you around our table!

Bamboo Resort Cat

Hi, I’m Shiva and I’m watching over Bamboo paradise. In December 2020 I have been adopted from the Animal Shelter Bonaire by the Bamboo Bonaire team. I love my new life in this tropical oasis, it is very relaxing with some special cat excitement from time to time. I like guests that come to say hi, but also like my own space. I look forward to meet you!
