Really a top location. The diving there is so "easy" everything is close by you walk straight from the shore into the water and sit right on a beautiful coral reef or wreck.

The sites are very beautiful and full of fish. The only thing less "practical" is the sometimes awkward access to get into the water. But that's a detail ????

Blennies Restaurant unfortunately very many theme nights, where the price-performance ratio is partly not right. Quality buffet at theme nights not outstanding. Since some dive sites are closed due to coral death, larger crowds at the others.
Room very spacious, bathroom partly mold.

Dive sites Bonaire are very busy, just Zeeland on a nice weekend day. At 1000steps for example there were 23 (!) cars, parking Karpata full of cars, at Salt Pier usually more than 20 cars from divers. And if you're unlucky a boat with divers is also added. Too often you encounter other divers underwater. Several dive sites are no longer doable from shore, due to construction or the presence of kite surfers who rightly claim their spot as well.
The reef on the west coast is beautiful, the corals and sponges look generally healthy. Lots of small fish, but aside from the occasional barracuda or moray eel, there is clearly less to do than there used to be.

Great, large room with a beautiful view. The burgers are top notch and everyone is looking out for you. The dive center is well equipped and the staff is very helpful (the compressor boys still have some room for improvement). Since we dived independently, I can not say anything about the guides.

Nice base to go diving. The resort is outdated and sometimes a bit on the dirty side.
Breakfast could really be better.
The diving on Bonaire is great, but don't know if I would choose Buddy dive again next time and that even though we have been coming there for at least 10 years....

Lots of freedom: rent a pick-up, load bottles...and dive à volonté. Great! Minus point: they may refund what is not taken.

We had a one-bedroom apartment. The decor is simple, but everything you need is there. Very clean, daily cleaning. Air conditioning on bedroom. Good bed. Apartment blocks are in a nice garden with two pools. Fine "beach" with sunbeds overlooking the sea. Friendly atmosphere in the resort.

Beautiful dive sites, didn't see a single piece of trash, lots of color and fish. An enthusiastic crew, always good humored. And also a relaxed atmosphere. Even if I didn't dive one afternoon, I enjoyed the atmosphere and action.

The car was a very old barrel with a flat tire. So much steering play that it probably wouldn't have passed the MOT inspection in NL. For the rest the resort was fine and clean.

Neat and clean rooms, though an outdated bed. The food was of very good quality, Blennies is lovely and Ingridients was really excellent. Service in Blennies was good, but some waiters were more concerned with each other than paying attention to whether any clients needed attention. Reception service was OK, but the WhatsApp reception didn't work very smoothly. The dive base was well organized, with friendly staff and sufficient equipment. The dive sites on the island (no east coast and south coast dives done) are very accessible. Not as spectacular as diving in the Far East, but lovely easy diving and lots of fish and coral to look at!

Had a fantastic week.
All self planned dives where very cool.
We went 1x with the boat. That was very disappointing.

Aging resort, in dire need of renovation.
Unique diving with pick-up and self-service in the "Dive-Thru". Nitrox for free.

Everything was fine, except for two little things:
- 420,- $ for 3.5 weeks fully comprehensive insurance with an excess of 565,- $, I think it is very expensive

- the WLAN network was very weak in the room, so that one had constantly interrupted connections. This should be readjusted.
