The property was recently upgraded and is very pretty. The food was incredible although only one main do I g room they switch options for Buffett often and had great choices. My only criticism would be they could use little more staff. We often got our own drinks at the dining room bc nobody checked on us. Also there was nobody to help with luggage checking out. But great stay overall!

Overall the week we spent was amazing. The whole family agreed. Will definitely visit again and recommend to others. Food was excellent with the AI package. Everything was prepared fresh. The a la carte wine service was pretty rough. Some better training for the staff in that area is needed. A specialty restaurant would be a nice addition. We have high expectations for food service and they were exceeded in most every case. The newly renovated areas are stunning but the construction was a negative. better things are ahead for next time! The snorkeling reef out front is incredible. A big bonus for guests. On the negative side there is no real beach but that’s typical for reef areas. It’s what prefer and look for. We came to dive and the island didn’t disappoint. The resort staff in all areas were very friendly helpful and efficient. We stayed in the new apartments and enjoyed the more private setting and particularly the quiet infinity pool and bar for it. The modern style of the new apartments is nice but the layout of them is odd and does not work well. Our two bedroom only had one very small toilet by the entry door. The shower area had no toilet at all. Not a great set up for a unit that sleeps 4. Also it had a big well equipped kitchen and dining area. But we didn’t use it because the resort is all inclusive. So that space could have been put to better use (proper bathroom). Tremendous experience. Highly recommended for a luxury dive vacation

Marvieni Sommer was amazing! A true Bonairian in warmth and hospitality! She made all our excursions amazing! I wish there were more Bonarian guests so we could experience more of the essence of Bonaire but the staff was amazing and friendly. The place is beautiful and the activities are very fun! We also absolutely loved the steel pans the singer that sang in papiamento! Also we loved the great island music that was played at the bar! We will definitely visit again.

The property is located in a nice neighborhood. You could walk to restaurants, but if you are getting all-inclusive no need. I recommend renting the golf cart and driving to Jibe City, 1000 steps, Flamingo sanctuary. Bring water shoes for the beach entry area. Good snorkeling and shore diving from the property, as well as dive shop on the premises. They are upgrading the property but not intrusive.

Staff, food and rooms are beautiful!! I am a scuba diver and dive shop with "Spider" and "Yousef" are the two staff divers I highly recommend. Rent a golf cart and visit the town, especially nice shore diving just south of the resort- list of shore dive sites and a freighter Himmler to dive on. Salt Pier is fun diving too.Chef made food-fantastuc. Visit Gio's I e cream shop has the greatest home made ice cream. Dark rich lactose free ice cream too. I still miss it. LOL.
