Bona Bista Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool in Bona Bista, Kralendijk

"Plaza is by far the best resort in Bonaire. We stayed in 2 bedroom lagoon apartment with 2 adults and 2 young adults. 2nd floor (had an elevator but we didn't use it) 1. Snorkel, SUP, and kayak free (check in/out at dive shop). Make sure you turn it in the night before you check out! 2. The room is amazing, spacious, and well decorated. View of the canals/lagoon was beautiful. 3. Beso bar and pool in the new section had a great staff, and we never fought for a lounge chair or pyramid lounger. 4. Main pool was picturesque. Bar staff were top notch. Always ready to offer up a cold beverage or cocktail with a smile. 5. Snorkeling: go to the left and snorkel by the steps (you'll know when you see it) for the best fish. 6. Rent a car. We used Easy Car Rental just down the road. The girl who owned the spot was great. Hooked us up short notice with a low-deck Tacoma for 3 days. Had it brought to us. She also rents golf carts. Highly recommend! 7. Food at the resort was top notch. 8. Bring water shoes... hard bottoms are a must 9. Wifi worked flawlessly. Everywhere in the resort was great, speeds were fast enough for facetime calls home, downloading/ uploading pics, and texting. Download an offline map on Google maps and you'll be able to do everything you want, get anywhere you want, all without using data. 10. Can't say enough about how great the staff was for us 11. Downtown area is a little far in the heat (100% worth doing). 12.Cabs are set prices on the island. $15 from airport"

"The property is gorgeous, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The TV is our room had weird background lights on the screen, which made it difficult to watch certain things, but we weren’t here to watch TV anyway. ;) The food at the restaurants was delicious, if a little pricy, but overall everything was great! "

"We loved the Manta Monday presentation. We loved the dive ship and everyone that worked there was kind and relaxed. The hotel was very central and everything was at the hotel or within close proximity to the hotel. We loved Bonaire and think the location made it great. We also loved the Chibi Chibi bird in the restaurant and loved seeing her steal sugar from the alcohol bottles and then go to her nest. Those experiences and learning from the locals made our vacation magical. "

"Delightful staff and for a diver, it doesn't get easier or more convenient of an experience. The reef is nice, different than what I expected putting it up against the Red Sea. Different things to see essentially. Red Sea would be more colorful in hard corals and clams while Bonaire has large gorgonians and massive pipe corals where you simply don['t see in Egypt. A very nice 12 day stay. Red Sea would be more of a highly restrictive dive environment. Buddy dive is the polar opposite. Regulation and restriction is at a absolute minimum. Not unsafe, just wonderfully open and free for an AOW diver to simply just come and do his thing. The only negative which almost every hotel falls short on is for longer stays, the beds simply are never comfortable enough. I will return to Buddy Dive when traveling to dive on Bonaire in the future, there is no reason to stay anywhere else. Brock Seals"
