The property is a little ways from town. Car rental on site or at airport. Room was generally very nice quiet and tidy. Bathroom had black mold on ceiling and wood rot on door frame that allowed a couple of cockroaches to hide. Kitchen was a great have. Although the kettle was all rusted inside, there was plenty of cook ware and utensils. Bar/resultant on site is expensive and not that great. Went to run runners next door. Still expensive but better food.
Overall I would recommend and return. The staff were great and helpful. Basically the units could use an update but safe and quiet. Great view and direct on beach with access for snorkeling or diving.

The provided gear lockers and locks need a little love, but our gear was safe and secure every morning. There are two hangers provided at each room so I would suggest bringing a bit of cave line for a laundry line. I can’t say enough nice things about the excellent staff at the dive shop, front desk, and rinse tank area. Breakfast was included with our package and was very nice, well stocked, clean, and always enjoyable. With the exception of a single bad experience at Blennie’s, undercooked food and very slow service, it was an excellent stay and we look forward to spending another month with buddy dive. The inability to select a room when making a reservation feels like I’m living in 1980 again, but not a deal killer. As is mentioned in many reviews the WiFi is complete trash in the rooms, you have to sit at the front desk or the restaurants for a reliable connection. Were are here to dive but lack of decent WiFi is a bit lazy. Sadly for the diving and the atmosphere that we have always enjoyed on the island cruise boats appear to be the future of Bonaire. Almost every day we were here there was a boat in port and a fleet of golf carts on the island.

Pouco conforto
O hotel fica beira mar num local perfeito para quem vai mergulhar;
O que deixou a desejar foi o cheiro do quarto e banheiro, vaso sanitário não estava bem limpo;
Não tinha secador de cabelos;
Reservamos como cama de casal e eram duas de solteiro juntas;

We come to this island for 3 months at a time and we go here frequently on a "day pass". It's inexpensive, and allows you access to the beach, the pool, the bar/restaurant, and the easy-access steps into the ocean (where you can snorkel). Although (regretfully) i can no longer dive, this place seems to run an awesome dive shop. We have seen them take out people who are in wheelchairs, people with missing limbs, very old folks, anyone with a C card who wants to dive. If you can be helped into the water, they will get you there. The staff for the beach and the bar/restaurant are great. (Shout out to Marco, the bartender who's been there for years). It is a very pleasant and welcoming experience.
