5 stars for divers!

5 stars for divers!
This place is the best resort I've been in for diving. Bonaire overall is known for shore diving and this resort capitalizes on that and makes it easy and efficient for its guests. There is great diving right off their dock, which is conveniently located next to their dive shop, gear rinsing area, gear rental, camera rental, and tank area.
I would highly recommend doing the 'drive and dive' package-a rental car is essential for any stay longer than a day or two. You get a little truck, which you can take through their drive through, pick up air, and take off to whatever dive sites you wish to do. There is also great snorkeling in many locations, including buddy dive, on bonaire.
The rooms weren't luxury, but had a kitchen which was great, the ac worked very well, and the cleaning service each day was excellent. this was a true feat because every day we dragged in mud and sea water with us. There was a tv which we were able to watch an nfl playoff game at.
Their high end restaurant, Ingredients, is expensive but worth a splurge at least once. I highly recommend the truffle pasta, made at your table!
We spent every sunset at the resort bar, Blennies. THere were two small pools and a kid's play area. One pool is attached to the bar!
Although there is no beach, there is a sand area with lounge chairs overlooking the ocean which is nice-watch out for bugs around sunset in bonaire-most bars and restaurants have spray you can borrow. Not as big of an issue during the day.

Overall, if you are a diver or a snorkeler, this is the place to stay. My second choice would probably be next door at Captain Dons. If you are NOT a diver or a snorkeler would look elsewhere.
