Bona Bista Holidays from £1,773

Nice property. Very relaxing. Wish ice was readily available in the rooms or on the property.

-1 restaurant and 1 buffet on location. 2 bars. Breakfast is served buffet style every morning. We were all-inclusive, so our meals were never charged, but you still signed the receipt so I was aware of costs. Most every meal will run you about $30 for food and beverage a person. It is an easy 10-minute walk from the resort to downtown Kralendijk for fun souvineer shopping and wonderful gelato at Gios. Well worth the walk. The property has 2 huge pools. 2 hot tubs outside the studio rooms. Our studio room #714 was equipped nicely with 2 queen beds, a tiny shower bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen including stocked cabinets for 4 people, and including a roll of paper towels and a full size coffeemaker with coffee packets. The ac is a min split unit that doesn't always cool at a comfortable low, but that may be just that room. I tried lowering the temperature but just managed to have the room more damp. But there is lots of closet and dresser space. The resort is geared toward scuba divers and their daily outings, therefore, it is not a 5-star resort for pampering. We are snorkelers and had the best swims along the Calabas Reef literally off the property beach. We rented a car for the day from Hertz at the resort for less than$100 fully insured. We easily drove both the north and south loops of the island. The salt pier with its salt ponds and the donkey sanctuary are worth the side trip to see along with the slave huts and beautiful waters on both sides of the island.

They couldn't have made it easier to enjoy a vacation! Great hotel, lovely staff!

The majority of the staff were delightful. The rooms were clean. Clothing washer and dryers were available at a cost of $8 usd per load. The snorkeling on the resort beach was just as good as the national park beaches. Most of the food at the non-reservation restaurants on site were okay, nothing I will reflect on, but the wings were pretty good. The hotel only gave two nesspresso coffee pods at the start of our 7 night stay. We had to purchase the rest. Maybe that is normal in Bonaire, I am not sure. I would give the room mattress zero stars, it is a 3 inch pad and is awful. The pool, lazy river, and beach chair/shade availability was great.

We did not have breakfast, air conditioning was ok
