"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."
