Kralendijk Hotel Guide - Flamingo Sanctuary hotels in Kralendijk, Bonaire.

"The location was great. The huts and chairs on the beach were easily accessible and plentiful. The water there at the beach was rocky, but great for snorkeling. It was a very relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are very Ikea like as far as furnishings, and there were no couches or easy chairs. We had to ask for both blankets, and a microwave. The restaurant was overpriced for the amount of food you received, and the quality was lacking on some items. You were better off going off the resort to eat, or prepare meals in your room. It was nice to be able to rent a car from the resort, but there was a 2 day minimum. Overall though, it was a great experience, and we know what to expect if we decide to return. The staff throughout the resort were very polite and accommodating!"

"The beautiful and relaxing atmosphere allows one to enjoy the unique flavor of this Dutch Caribbean island. It also has a wonderfully run 5-star PADI dive shop called “Great Adventures” on the property. "

"Fantastic house-very well appointed for multiple families with a huge kitchen with 2 fridges and every small kitchen appliance you could want. Awesome patio table large enough for everyone for meals. Ocean is a little hard to access with the coral (common for Bonaire) so water shoes are a must and it wouldn’t be appropriate for older adults. However, the snorkeling and scuba directly in front of this property cannot be beat… scuba boats tied up there every day and we saw sea turtles and tons of fish daily. The community pool is a 30 sec walk from the house… we would much prefer a private pool but it was hardly ever busy. The pool is extremely deep (non swimmers/kids would need flotation devices) and there were always plenty of loungers- most were shaded. Be careful with the uneven floor surfaces at transitions from bathrooms to bedrooms- we had 2 people that ended up with stubbed and bleeding toes. Every bedroom has its own attached bathroom. Could have been more bath towels but it was functional. The washer and dryer are tiny and impractical for a household of 10-12 people so don’t count on that besides for essential washing needs. Some fantastic restaurants nearby: Eddy’s and Between 2 Buns and the ice cream shop across the street from Eddy's in the strip mall was also fantastic. There’s a full remodel going on next door so we had a lot of noise and construction dust from that…not very relaxing but a year from now that won’t be an issue. "

"Third time there good people to deal with love the snorkeling right on site and awesome location. "

"Great place. Clean well kept and great communication "

"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"

"Great place Highly Recommend will be back again soon "

"Had a great time great place to stay"

"Lovely waterfront villa. Will return. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Divers paradise. Wildlife was everywhere and fascinating. My only criticism would be that there are no bathroom outlets which makes hair drying difficult. "
