The resort was decent for what we needed, especially if you're into diving. We really appreciated the dive shop and the help from the staff there. However, the cleanliness of the room could use improvement, and the food was just average. Expect some issues with beach bed reservations and mosquitoes. Overall, it's perfect for divers, but there may be better all-inclusive options elsewhere.

Overall, I had a great time at the resort. The diving experience was exceptional, and the food was mainly good, although the service could use some improvement. While the rooms were spacious and reasonably comfortable, I had some issues with maintenance. The location is perfect for exploring Bonaire, making it easy to get to popular dive spots. However, I did face some challenges with the beach bar and the inconsistency in room cleaning.

This resort is perfect for those who love to dive and snorkel, with an excellent dive shop and dedicated staff. The meals are mostly good, especially the chef's specials, but the drinks service could be improved. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but the air conditioning could be better. Overall, it's a great value for diving enthusiasts, but the limited bar hours and seating might be a downside.

The resort offers a great snorkeling experience right off the beach, and the rooms are spacious and well-equipped. However, the service at the restaurant was hit or miss, and some food hygiene issues raised concerns. The facilities are generally good, but there were cleanliness issues in certain dining areas. Overall, it's a decent choice for divers and snorkelers, but not without its flaws.
