Ingrid Kell holds the distinction of being Ocean View Villas' Guest #1, as she was the first patron who stayed when the villas first opened in November, 1994. She has returned regularly since that time, as Bonaire, in addition to our sister Antillean islands, have become favorites of hers. Ingrid is a published author and a regular contributor to magazines and other publications.

In December, 2003, Ingrid received a Bronze Ambassador's Award from the Tourist Corporation Bonaire, in honor of her ten consecutive years of visiting Bonaire.
