Lac Bay Beach

-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.

Lac Bay was incredible and our favorite waitress, Julia, was a rock star!!!!!
