Diving right off the dock was unforgettable.

Sign up for boat dives early. they fill up quickly, and the hotel reef offers a stunning test dive that's worth experiencing.

The dive staff and instructors were outstanding and truly passionate about helping divers improve their skills.

I was disappointed with the overall accommodation experience. The beds were uncomfortable, and the main living area was hot and uninviting. The slow service at the dining venue made meals frustrating, leaving us feeling ignored and underwhelmed during our stay.

The setup for diving is exceptional, with a drive-thru fill station that allows for seamless shore diving without long waits. Rooms feature handy kitchen facilities, which are great for those who prefer to cook their own meals, minimizing the need to rely solely on dining options on-site.

While the dining venue serves tasty food, the service can be excruciatingly slow, and those looking for a quick meal may feel frustrated. The layout of some of the dive shop lockers is less than ideal, making it challenging to store dive gear effectively, especially for shorter guests. Lastly, the temperatures in the living room area of the room felt uncomfortably warm due to the AC being located in the bedroom, making it hard to stay cool while hanging out.

Had a fantastic group vacation! The dive shop staff were knowledgeable, and the personal service was outstanding. Our experience was enhanced with the kids' sea camp, allowing younger divers to bond while having fun. Don't miss the PADI Underwater Naturalist Specialty course for some amazing underwater learning!

We had issues with equipment availability. They didn’t provide the requested weights, impacting our dives and causing some frustration.

Amazing, amazing, amazing

The dive experience blew my mind! The setup is just exceptional with a drive-thru tank swap that keeps you diving without delays. My room was a cozy one-bedroom apartment with all the cooking essentials, meaning I could whip up my favorite meals after a day in the water!

totally recommend 🐠💖

The dive setup was exceptional, yet the room lacked adequate cooling.

The vibrant underwater world and lush greenery made me feel like a mermaid in paradise. Plus, the accessible layout allowed for leisurely strolls, even in my delicate flip-flops!

More shaded seating areas near the pools, please.

Perfect for Diving and Relaxing

Had an awesome time diving right off the dock! The drive and dive package was a lifesaver for exploring different sites. The room was cozy with a full kitchen, and the daily cleaning was super impressive given the sand and salt we brought in. One night, we splurged at the bar and the pasta was to die for! Just watch out for pesky bugs at sunset.

The diving experience was simply the best! Our DM Aitzol was amazing, free diving just to show us seahorses. The food at Blennies was good, but it takes time—so don't be in a rush! 🌊

The house reef offers incredible diving opportunities, with a vibrant ecosystem that rivals more remote sites. Cooking facilities in the room made meal prep easy, allowing for flexibility during the stay. However, service could be frustratingly slow, especially at meal times, and unexpected add-on fees during checkout created unnecessary stress. The equipment availability was also concerning, given that the quality of diving gear was mixed, ranging from excellent to poor.

The check-in process was efficient and welcoming. My room had a well-equipped kitchen with a large fridge. I loved the convenience of the shuttle to Klein Bonaire. The onsite dive shop had a great selection of equipment. Two swimming pools were relaxing. 🌊

The dive experience at Buddy Dive Resort was a true highlight. Setting off from the dock made every dive accessible and convenient. The dive shop staff was incredibly knowledgeable, always ready to assist with gear and provide diving pointers. We loved the drive-thru fill station. it streamlined our diving adventures without any long waits involved. Our one-bedroom apartment had a decent kitchen setup, making it easy to cook whenever we didn’t want to eat out. That said, the accommodations needed some serious upgrades. The beds were uncomfortable with old bedding that felt worn out. The main living area was stifling hot, especially with the AC only functioning in the bedroom. We struggled to cool down while relaxing. Housekeeping overdid it on some days, leaving our patio door slightly open, which let in unwanted mosquitoes. Check-in had some hiccups. the reservation process was confusing, and it took longer than expected to sort out our room upon arrival. We also noticed the vehicle we rented was in rough shape, and hidden charges on the rental agreement added to our frustrations. Dining options could improve too. while Blennies had delightful food, the service was painfully slow, and we often felt ignored.
