I'd read somewhere that it's in a discussion of some kind with Bongo's, but other than that, not much else. Does anyone know A) What it's called, B) When will it be open, Or C) Is it already open?

Well, looks like everyone's as clueless about it as I am! *laugh*

Hi Laura, I've just checked with my travel agent today and the restaurant (lounge) is owned and run by Bongo's! Don't know the name, but we will be visiting the lounge in about 3 weeks; I'll let you know.

Maggie, are you sure about Bongo's owning the restaurant and lounge? Last I read through the Bonaire Reporter, Eden Beach owns the new restaurant and lounge and was in a dispute with Henk at Bongo's. The jist of it was they want Bongo's to go away (I'm sure 2 restaurants that close is a bit competitive) and were charging Bongo's $200.00 a day. I'll look up the BR archive and post the story.

Grasshopper, I hope it is Bongo's. We have always had a great time with Henk and his staff; the dispute has been going on for more than a year now. Please post the former info. I will of course see it soon by myself and let you know. Let's hope Henk stays!! We also stay at Eden Beach, so we're close to the latest news in a few weeks time.

Henk has won the dispute and is still operating as before. I am glad for Henk (and myself, because I love that spot!!) and I hope that he can stay there for a long time !!!!
