Washington-Slagbaai National Park Holidays from £2,192

We did not have breakfast, air conditioning was ok

The resort was exactly what I was looking for: AI and close to the main town. I could walk to town every day, which was great — lots of restaurants and food options really close, so AI was just an option I enjoy having in vacation. The entire resort didn’t classify as AI, it’s an added option, which was interesting to navigate and understand… But I got the hang of it after a few days. I felt like the “off the menu” food options were really great quality, the buffet was just ok. My room was pretty dated and could use an upgrade. Besides the rooms, the resort is pretty clean and well taken care of. The pool and beach areas were clean. I was hesitant about the “lack of” a beach area I read of in reviews before booking. There is a beach, it’s a little rocky, but it works perfectly fine for daily snorkelling and just chilling in the ocean. One thing I was blown away with was how safe and comfortable I felt on the property. I would snorkel for hours, at times, and leave my stuff on a beach chair. But the same can be said for the entire island. Also, it was really cool to see how close Klein Bonaire was to the main island. It was beautiful to look at at sunset during dinner every night.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Van der Valk Plaza Beach & Dive Resort Bonaire. The resort was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed the all-inclusive food and drinks, the relaxing beach area, and the stunning ocean views. The room was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a great vacation. The location was convenient and made it easy to enjoy Bonaire’s natural beauty. The only minor downside was that some services could be a little slow during busy times, but overall it did not affect our experience. We would definitely return and recommend this resort to couples looking for a relaxing Caribbean getaway.
