What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Luxurious Suite Experience

I stayed in a stunning suite that featured a spacious living room and a fully equipped kitchen. The two bedrooms were beautifully furnished and boasted really good ocean views. It's a perfect home away from home, allowing us to relax comfortably and enjoy meals on our private balcony, watching the sunset over the water.

Relaxing by the Pier

The hotel's pier was an very nice retreat where I could lounge on sunbeds or snorkel right off the dock. It was so relaxing to spend afternoons there, swimming and unwinding with a cocktail in hand. The ambiance was peaceful, and I loved being in such close proximity to the ocean.

Delicious In-Room Dining

We enjoyed fabulous in-room dining service from the restaurant next door, which made our evenings incredibly special. The convenience of ordering gourmet meals and enjoying them on our balcony while overlooking the ocean was a highlight of our stay. Each meal was delicious and beautifully presented.

Perfect Bathrooms

The bathrooms in our suite were luxurious and well-appointed, featuring roomy layouts and high-quality amenities. I loved the spacious shower and the attention to cleanliness. It was a joy to unwind there after a day filled with snorkeling and exploring the island.

We had an amazing stay at the resort, which provided a tranquil escape in a stunning location. The staff went above and beyond, making us feel incredibly welcome and pampered throughout our visit. Our room was spacious, clean, and had breathtaking views, but we did notice that a fan in the scuba storage area would improve amenities. Overall, it represented excellent value for money given the stellar service and beautiful surroundings.

My stay at this resort was truly incredible! The spacious suite provided breathtaking ocean views, and the staff treated us like family from the moment we arrived. We especially enjoyed the close proximity to great snorkeling spots right off the private pier. However, while the amenities were fantastic, I did wish for a bit more drawer space in the bedroom to store our belongings comfortably.

I had an incredible week at this resort overlooking the Caribbean Sea, where I enjoyed everything from scuba diving to relaxing by the water. The accommodations were top-notch, and the staff was outstanding, making my stay truly special. The only downside was that my main floor room didn’t come with a stereo, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I can’t wait to return for another amazing getaway!

The accommodations were clean and well-equipped, perfect for our needs. While the dining option was limited to the nearby restaurant, the food was surprisingly good. We didn't spend much time at the pool, but it was well-kept and inviting. Renting a car is advisable to explore more of Bonaire, as some sights are a bit far from the hotel.
