Tips for a couple in Bonaire? Where to stay??

[sammy padilha]

I’m having a difficult time finding a place to stay 10 days in a row next month. Any tips? Used to stay at Belmar, like it a lot, but will need to stay 3 days in Caribbean Club... BD is also fully booked for one of our days... at Den Laman we’ll need to change accommodation in the second day... looking for a place with a nice kitchen an a house reef, any ideas?? Thanks!!

Check the Habitat, but do not know if they have kitchen setup.

We're here at the Plaza Resort as an all inclusive... nothing to do but dive, eat, sleep and repeat.

Have you checked Airbnb?

Last minute planning for 10 days oceanfront at a property with a kitchen and good house reef will be challenging to find in the high season, as you have already found. The obvious method to find something appears to be what you are already doing. I.e. working your way through the traditional resort and rental properties along the western shoreline.

Even if we do the same to help you look it's hard to provide any useful suggestions without knowing your specific travel dates, group size, and budget.

Stayed there before, but not a big fan of all inclusive

Yes, never tough it would be so difficult!! The plan is feb 08-18, just me and boyfriend... by now my best option is Den Laman, better just swipe rooms than different locations...

This is not "on the water" but across the street. Same price range as Den Laman, where I have stayed and I love. It is just down the street from Den Laman. It is much more luxurious and romantic. I haven't gone online to see if your dates are available, so you will have to do that. @darook and his wife are also big fans and he might chime in to sing their praises. They have everything you are looking for, except the waterfront location- This is the only place on Bonaire that would absolutely induce/seduce me to forego staying on the water.

Yes we are big fans of Bamboo Bali. I really don't miss not being on the water when we are there as it is so chill. Getting 10 nights will be tough but you may get a week there and 3 elsewhere. They use Wannadive for their tanks which I really like. Very laid back.
