Amazing!

Having read the reviews left by Maps182099 and one or 2 others I had a gut wrenching feeling that our experience was going to be a disappointment at best! I couldn't have been more wrong! We were on a drive and dive holiday. The moment we arrived at reception we were greeted with warmth and good humour. Our room wasnt quite ready and we were given a free drink whilst we soaked up the amazing views. We had chosen a garden view room which was almost brand new. 100% clean beautifully decorated and well equipped. On introducing ourselves at the dive centre Roger was welcoming and informative. We found the dive equipment to be of good standard and fit for purpose. Yes the locker area is awaiting an upgrade but it served its purpose. The diving at the dive centre alone could keep you entertained all week - we dived it at least 4 times and every dive was so different. We found all the staff at the dive centre both pleasant and helpful even taking time to recommend dive sites and draw us underwater maps. The dive sites on this island are so well signed and easy to find. We took advantage of a boat dive for which we had a very knowledgeable guide. We found Alex to be a considerate captain who assisted us out of the water and back to our seats onboard the boat. Would we return?? 100% YES! And I am so glad I didnt change my booking after reading Maps182099 review! Thank you Captain Dons for a wonderful experience.
Perfect Stay

A really nice hotel that has a good location on the coast of Bonaire, where you can see many great fish while snorkelling at the hotel jetty. We had a family bungalow which was really spacious with one living room, 2 baths , 2 bedrooms and a large terrace and everything was very clean and set in a beautifully landscaped garden. The breakfast buffet offers plenty of choice and although we did not eat at the Rum Runners's Restaurant during our stay, which is located on the terrace with a beautiful view, we got the impression that it seems to be very good and that it was well attended every evening, which is why the very nice staff at the hotel reception ask you to book a table before you visit. At the bar, delicious cocktails are conjured up that are second to none. Kralendijk is within half an hour's walking distance and there is a supermarket only five minutes away where you can get everything you need. The hotel is also a good starting point for excursions by rental car, as it takes no more than 40 minutes to get to either the southern or northern end of Bonaire. All in all, I can say that we had a wonderful time and highly recommend the hotel.
