The hotel staff took excellent care of us, everyone was friendly, and the hotel is in good shape. The best part of the hotel is breakfast at the Haven pool restaurant, Sylvia, Maria, and Anna are excellent hosts!

Very inconvenient you had to walk from the main entrance outside all the way down to the end of the property to get to your room. If you need ice anytime during the day or night, you had to walk outside of the building and try to find one and the factor if you just wanted to buy a soda drink called snack, you had to work all the way from the end of the property back to the main building to do that extremely inconvenient.

I enjoyed the location of this property as it as very close to the airport but also centrally located to other locations. The property is beautiful and so colorful! The kids loved the pool area. We got to see a gorgeous sunset from the pool over the water and even some flamingos hanging around! I would stay again.

Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and the breakfast is good but the property needs some maintenance. Also, the water pressure in the shower was very poor and it took almost 15 minutes for the water to become warm. The stay was ok but at almost 250usd a night we just expected more.

We stayed at the Marriott Courtyard Bonaire Dive Resort for a week. The room was reasonably large and comfortable. The bathroom was a nice size with a nice strong water stream in the shower. The included breakfast buffet was excellent. The grounds of the hotel were very interesting and colorful. Our only want was for a larger refrigerator in our room - it was really quite small. And I thought that the resort was closer to the middle of town than it was. We had luckily rented a car, otherwise we would have needed to.

It is not a dive resort, it does not have a dive shop on property

Response from Nelson Ruiz on 9 Jun 2022
Hi Leonel, Thank you very much for your feedback. We are very sorry that you were not able to enjoy our diving facilities. Certainly and after all the experience with COVID-19 we decided to close the dive center as part of our cost restructuring and continue offering the diving experience with VIP Diving who are located 2 minutes away from our hotel. Now with a different reality, we find ourselves in very advanced conversations with an operator to resume the service at the property in the medium term. We deeply regret having disappointed you. Kind regards,

Arrived during island-wide power outage and team did a great job - remained calm, apologetic (even though not their fault) and made arrangements for everyone to be guided to their rooms until electronic keys could be made. With power restored, we were able to enjoy our room, which was clean and comfortable, then had dinner at the open air restaurant by the pool. A great overnight stay before a 7am flight.

This hotel was built on the cheap,maintained on the cheap and run on the cheap. Water, mildew and rust stains on the outside. Peeling wallpaper on the inside. When it rains the a puddle of water collects on the entrance to the rooms. In the restaurants small spoons and forks are thrown into one tray, so at a moment people will have to dig through a pile of forks to get a to a spoon. Hope their hands are clean. On the restaurant tables you can thousands of rings from previous cups and trays. The evening before you check out you get a call from reception not to hear if you need anything or if you enjoyed your stay, but only to tell you when you have to leave the room. Upon checkout, no "hope to see you again" have a nice trip" just good bye

Dear Rene, Thank you very much for your feedback! It is received with great appreciation and receptivity. In relation to your criteria on the level of the hotel, or if it was built cheaply, we prefer not to go into depth there and we choose to respect your opinion. Marriott International has 30 brands and each one of them has a different and particular composition depending on the market. Courtyard is a Select brand, as well as there are brands in the Luxury and Premium lines. In relation to the restaurant tables, we are aware of this and working to reverse this situation in order to provide the best possible presentation. It is not part of our culture to be as cold and unkind as you experience at check-out, for which I apologize on behalf of the entire hotel team. Thank you very much for staying at our hotel! Kind regards, Nelson Ruiz General Manager
