Great home away from home.
Pros:

Our little condo had everything we needed to be able to prepare meals and enjoy our stay. Lots of hot water, good HVAC, attentive staff, amazing diving and snorkeling right on the shore.

Cons:

They forgot to clean one day and made it up the next day when we mentioned it. There are construction noises during the day as they are building across the street.

Niet nog een keer
Pros:

Locatie is goed. Vriendelijke medewerkers. Echt goed geholpen door de dames bij de receptie en technische heer.
Eddy’s restaurant is een gezellige plek met lekker eten.

Cons:

Heel oud en gedateerd complex. Eerste kamer die werd toegewezen E9 is het geld niet waard. Donker en oud. Container voor de deur ivm verbouwing condo erboven. Na klacht konden we verhuizen naar A10. Veel beter met mooi uitzicht. Van binnen ook redelijk ok, hier zie je dat de eigenaar er nog wat van heeft geprobeerd te maken. Maar ook hier is de prijs kwaliteit niet ok. Het blijft een gedateerde condo met hele simpele en goedkoop aanvoelende materialen (schuifdeur naar terras, kamer deuren).

Buen departamento en un enorme conjunto de departamentos sin prácticamente ningún servicio
Pros:

El departamento estaba bien equipado

Cons:

Los espacios exteriores no están renovados No hay un lugar agradable para estar durante el día a la sombre Prácticamente no ofrece ningún servicio Ya que la recepción entrega la llave y no da ninguna indicación Estuve 4 noches y solo un día cambiaron las toallas y las sábanas ! No hoy ninguna ayuda ni indicación No creo que deba llamarse hotel y menos de 4 estrellas

A very nice place to stay on Bonaire
Pros:

This is not the newest and most modern resort on Bonaire, but it is very clean, well kept up, quiet, and has excellent snorkeling right in front of the property. There are a number of good restaurants within an easy walking distance. The unit we booked (a 1 bedroom) was much larger than we expected - an unexpected pleasant surprise. Everything you need is included in the unit, plates, silverware, glasses, pots/pans, coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, and stove. In the bathroom, there is a hair dryer (important for my wife). The unit also has a very nice screened in lanai to enjoy the sunset. The unit was cleaned once during our week stay (which was communicated at booking). Communications was excellent, staff were pleasant to work with and very helpful. It's only about a 5 minute drive to downtown, 10-12 to the airport, and convenient to a number of well recommended snorkeling and dive spots. There are4 two dive shops very close by.

Pros:

Sand Dollar Condominiums offer the perfect base of operations for a diving vacation in Bonaire. Dive Friends has a branch on the property offering rental equipment, tanks, weights, snorkeling gear - everything you might need. They also offer PADI training courses with knowledgeable, highly skilled instructors. There is a fine restaurant on the property and others within walking distance. The condos are beautifully designed with excellent kitchen appliances and dinnerware provided. The unit I rented was decorated with photos and objects reflecting the natural environment of Bonaire. There are pegs on the patio wall to hang wet diving gear. The patio was screened and had perfect furnishings allowing relaxing interludes. There was a large-screen TV and the owner even provided some of the standard reference books on Caribbean marine life. I cannot imagine a better rental unit for the traveling diver -- everything was perfect!

Pros:

Haven't stayed at the Sand Dollar for about 5 years but was pleasantly surprised that the whole resort seemed to be tidier and better kept. The unit we stayed in was clean, towels were fresh and generally the service was friendly and helpful. It would appear that they must have new management since I last visited and they are most definitely on top of things. We'll be back.
