Bonaire / Currency/Credit Cards

The official currency of Bonaire is the US dollar which replaced the Netherlands Antilles Guilder from 1st January 2011. Credit cards are also accepted at shops and restaurants accustomed to tourists. It is probably better to carry cash for small purchases. Money can be exchanged at hotel cash desks but you will find a better exchange rate at the bank.
