Casa Iguana: Diving right off of your patio

This rental is the bottom floor of a two story dwelling. Casa Iguana is located on the Southern end of Bonaire, its spectacular reef is shared with private homes and Belmar Apartments. Belmar Divers is directly next door and the tank cage is just steps from your driveway. Belmar Divers is affiliated with Buddy Dive. so you are able to switch out tanks at their drive through as well.
This is a two bedroom, three bathroom home with a spacious kitchen and living room. There is no AC in the living room, but both bedrooms have air. The bedrooms are simple, clean and comfortable.
We cooked many of our meals on the outdoor grill and dined at the outdoor table in the shade. The kitchen had everything we needed except an oven, but there is a cooktop.

Unique Quality: The oceanfront spacious patio and the close proximety of SCUBA tanks is what made this spectacular place to stay in Bonaire. We did several dives right off of our deck nd night dives were fantastic on this unspoiled section of reef.

Bamboo Bali Bonaire: Wonderful time at Bamboo Bali Bonaire!

I booked a room at Bamboo Bali for my girlfriend and I at the suggestion of a friend and all I can say is wow! Bamboo Bali is a small inn decorated with an indonesian flair. It has lots of plants and the owners (Anno, Vera, and Sebastian) have clearly spent a great deal of time decorating their place. There are five rooms available for rent, each with it's own unique style. They are located right across from Captain Don's Habitat which makes it quite convenient to grab a quick bite or take a quick dive off Captain Don's pier.

Our room was similar to a studio with a single room and an attached bathroom. The rooms have A/C during the night (also available during the day for a surcharge but we were never there). They have a small kitchen, fridge, and a coffeemaker so you can fix some meals if you want. Each room is a separate building with it's own porch (sort of like a cabin but nicer). There are rinse tanks and a drying area specifically set up for scuba gear which made cleaning up quite easy each day. Security was good which also made us feel at home (they have a fence around the entire property and were always on the property).

I would highly recommend the Bamboo Bali for couples and people who are looking to have some privacy while on vacation. Anno consistently went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible time while in Bonaire. We will definitely be back! If you go to their website you can see some pictures (http://www.bamboobalibonaire.com).

Unique Quality: Anno and his family were outstanding hosts. Made us feel completely at home. Numerous small touches such as a personalized sign above our room with our names painted on it.

Simply wonderful.

Buddy Dive: Catering to Divers

If you are going to Bonaire specifically to dive this is a good place to stay that caters to divers.

On the down side the tile and steps are slippery when wet - so BE CAREFUL!!!

Unique Quality: Buddy Dive has their own fleet of trucks that can be rented for your stay (They had a new fleet as of 2/2008) They also offer unlimited tanks for shore diving and a drive through tank refill service. This will allow you to really dive Bonaire as it should be - from the shore.

Get a hammock: Pick a couple trees

Make sure the trees are good and stout trees, spaced just so...

Unique Quality: You can listen to the sounds of the night, smell whatever's in the air and feel the breeze off the ocean rocking you to sleep.

Happy Holiday Homes: Perfect location

Our nice little 3 room bungalow had everything that we needed plus a nice tereace filled with tropical plants that attracted the birds.
Location is 5- 10 minutes from the airport.

Unique Quality: We had cable TV, air conditioning, stove, fridge, and microwave. There was a nice back terrace that had clothes lines for hanging wet clothes.

Bonaire Inn: Supposed to be the cheapest place on the island

It's a good place to stay for the budget minded traveller. Rooms are basic, but all have aircon and a safe. For an extra 6 US$ you get breakfast served on their nice terrace.
Friendly staff.
