We will be back. ##### Richard Allan Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### wing 11 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities One of the best place to stay in Bonaire. Dive shop, diving and snorkeling right on site is great convenience. Not to mention water taxi to Klein Bonaire is right there too. Only thing I’d ask to improve is, wifi signal is terrible in room, but public area are ok. ##### wing Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Josephine 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The dive operation portion of Buddy's resort was exceptional and the staff are wonderful. The drive-thru pickup is also very convenient. However this is been our second stay at buddy dive and we've asked for a king bed and their idea of a king bed is to push two twin beds together and put a comforter over it so you end up as a couple sleeping in the Great Divide between two mattresses. When I complain this time they put a duvet cover over it which did absolutely nothing. And for the weak air conditioning, and I mean one wall air conditioner for the entire apartment that essentially just keeps the bedroom cool and the rest of the apartment stays hot with not even a ceiling fan, we were told that's just the way it is. ##### Josephine Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elie 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities Diving options ##### Elie Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 21 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities If you’re a diver, this place doesn’t disappoint! The staff is very kind and attentive. The diving around the island is fantastic! Everything you need is right here! Best vacation I’ve had in a while!! ##### Daniel Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lori 21 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Don’t expect WiFi access during your stay unless you go to the restaurant. Staff is friendly but service average. Diving was underwhelming due to the destination of the ecosystem by Lion Fish. ##### Lori Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Junnietta 29 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Convient for diving. Furnishings very dated. Water safe to drink but had a metal taste. Parking crowded on resort. Would stay again but will definatley buy something to flavor the water. ##### Junnietta Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Kimberly 17 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Buddy Dive is right on the water and there are two sets of stairs that lead into the sea for divers to enter and exit easily. The reef is right offshore, and it was fantastic to be able to pick up our air tanks at the dive centre and walk in for our dives at any time of day or night. The dive centre staff are all super friendly and helpful. Blennies restaurant is on site and it is reasonably priced and with good food. You can walk offsite to ice cream and couple of other restaurants, but the town is a bit far to walk. We had a rental truck and unlimited tanks with the dive package so we were able to be quite free with our schedule, which I loved. I also my Advanced Open Water there and had a great instructor. A positive experience all around. ##### Karen Kimberly Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean 8 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Buddy Dive Resort is top notch and works hard to make sure you have everything you want or need. I am impressed with how helpful everyone has been! The shuttle from Buddy Dive Resort was outside and waiting for me even though the airplane arrived about an hour early. The receptionist helped carry some of my bags to my room, and a tech dive specialist made sure I had everything I need to dive my rebreather. He also was my dive orientation instructor. The room and property are beautiful and well maintained. ##### Dean Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Barry 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Ac was only in the bedroom but no AC in the living room making the living room & kitchen too hot to stay in there. Electrical outlets were wore out and would not hold our hair dryer and phone charges. There is not a plug in anywhere by a mirror to shave or style hair. The king size was not a king but two twin put together and the seams rubbing your legs then using twin sheets to cover the bed! ##### Barry Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hong 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities our room has no wifi signal. good kitchen in studio room ##### Hong Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lori 20 Apr 2025 Disliked: Amenities There’s no Internet access unless you go to the restaurant and sit down, which was deplorable. And a warning to divers if that’s your reason for going there, the reef has suffered a lot in recent years, probably due to lionfish and there’s very little to see when you’re diving except for a turtle here and there and a lot of little fish Nothing big to see I’m not planning on going back. ##### Lori Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda 8 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The pool was dirty. And the landscaping was in need of attention ##### Linda Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### laura 19 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The property is a little ways from town. Car rental on site or at airport. Room was generally very nice quiet and tidy. Bathroom had black mold on ceiling and wood rot on door frame that allowed a couple of cockroaches to hide. Kitchen was a great have. Although the kettle was all rusted inside, there was plenty of cook ware and utensils. Bar/resultant on site is expensive and not that great. Went to run runners next door. Still expensive but better food. Overall I would recommend and return. The staff were great and helpful. Basically the units could use an update but safe and quiet. Great view and direct on beach with access for snorkeling or diving. ##### laura Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brock 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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.

Everything you need is here. If you do not have something- you can rent it or purchase it here. Communication ahead of time to set up boat dives is recommended. Otherwise shore diving is available on your own schedule. ##### Dana Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Momo 9 Dec 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### very poor quality Dive shop attendees had bad attitudes, allowed inexperienced divers too close to coral, fins and lack of control damaged coral. Night diving was a joke. Area too cloudy to see anything but debris. Charged $100.00 for 1/2 hour. The food was mediocre at best. Service... incompetent. They did transfer us rooms when we complained about the ants, air conditioner dripping into the electrical outlet, shower leaking into bathroom. They were gracious about that. Electricity went out 3 times in 6 days. To rent a car..... they said they didn't have a truck available as it was going into service. The next excuse was that "their server was down". They finally gave us a van the next afternoon for the price of a truck... which was nice. ##### Momo ### 8/10 Good #### JaMel 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities The staff was always pleasant to me and were ready to assist if need..Dive staff, Boat captains and instructors were awesome, very knowledgable, and willing to give pointers or help. I wished the baggage crew had uniforms or a clear ID they work for the hotel cus it was kind of concerning having someone in regular clothes randomly knock on your door on your check out day and ask for your bags..lol.. I wasn't crazy about rusted locks on lockers (Understood why, but the floors were wet and slippery) but the 2 placement areas made them convenient for grab gear and go. The front door and locks for the rooms were very concerning and I questioned if I should've just left the door unlocked like the vehicle we rented for dives to prevent people from breaking the window and stealing items(Yes petty theft is a problem here regardless how the staff down plays it) on the island..The cashless transaction (Bill to the room) and ticket system for some menu and special night non-regular menu items will require you to review your bill like an auditor for the IRS or pay with card to avoid disputes, and confusion on check out.. Other than that this resort is good to lay your head at night and get up early to scuba dive all day..Non-scuba related activities were very limited so if you bring someone non-scuba certified they will probably get bored really quick..This is a Scuba dive only resort if you’re looking for amenities you won’t find much and I would say this place is a tad over priced. ##### JaMel Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Pieternella 19 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ruime kamer direct aan het riff met goede duik en snorkel opties. Tevens 2 restaurants met 1 bar. Meerdere plekken om te chillen in of uit de zon met vriendelijke personeel. Enige minpuntje is dat de kamers wel wat aandacht verdienen alles werkt en is schoon maar is duidelijk vaker gebruikt ##### Pieternella Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole 26 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities If you are a diver it is all very convenient. Not the best place in the island and definitely not the worst. Food was great, everyone was friendly and helpful. ##### Nicole Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Greice 4 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service #### Pouco conforto O hotel fica beira mar num local perfeito para quem vai mergulhar; O que deixou a desejar foi o cheiro do quarto e banheiro, vaso sanitário não estava bem limpo; Não tinha secador de cabelos; Reservamos como cama de casal e eram duas de solteiro juntas; ##### Greice Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Fairmont-Mayakoba-All-Inclusive.h10364193.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Penmaenmawr](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Penmaenmawr-Hotels.s50-0-d6346634.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Grand Hotel Flora](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sorrento-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Flora.h919640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Redbridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Redbridge.d179505.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Saltburn-by-the-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saltburn-By-The-Sea-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d182633-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Versilia Lido | UNA Esperienze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camaiore-Hotels-Versilia-Lido-UNA-Esperienze.h1990668.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Northampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d9244-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The 55 by Le Mirage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-55-By-Le-Mirage.h83771127.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Tunbridge Wells Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-Mercure-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotel.h34312.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Babysitting Services in England](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-England-Hotel-With-Babysitting-Services.0-0-d11218-thotelwithbabysittingservices.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Sea Beach House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ovar-Hotels-The-Sea-Beach-House.h22696228.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorpe Thewles Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockton-On-Tees-Hotels-Thorpe-Thewles-Lodge.h3556683.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in East London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-London-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d6047456-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Essex](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Essex-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6046201-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [InterContinental San Diego by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-InterContinental-San-Diego.h26984236.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Koh Rong](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koh-Rong-Hotels.d6191569.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Phoenix (PHX) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/phx/sfo/phoenix-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Bordeaux (BOD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/bod/dublin-to-bordeaux) > > [easyJet Gatwick (LGW) to Inverness (INV) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/easyjet-from-gatwick-to-inverness/u2/lgw/inv) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Albufeira Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Marina-Albufeira.d6081789.Attraction)
