What a cool coincidence! You and I are here in Bonaire and then Cozumel at the same time. Two for two!
Nice trip report. Looks like you're having a great time!

Nice trip report. Looks like you're having a great time!
Hey Trail Boss. I was here your whole stay. I wish I would have met up with you. We have been hitting CandyLand pretty hard and Red Slave and Taylor made has always been my favorites but this trip. I have to give it to CandyLand. Glad you had a great time! Can I ask what a 2 bedroom cost for 2 weeks? Thanks.
OP
I love Candyland. One of the best dives on the island. The winds were still hammering the shore there when we got there, which is why we. Series on to Nukove.
We ended up staying 10 nights at Bel Mar with our friends before they left the island. We then moved over to Bloozz for the remaining 5 nights, as the cost of the 2 bedrooms at Bel Mar by ourselves would have been too cost prohibitive. It was $3200 for the 10 nights, all in with taxes and fees. So, $1600 per couple in the high season and that was booking through Sunwise, which is much better than AirBNB or VRBO.
Bloozz is right across the street from Bachelor Beach and is a great affordable option for two people. It was our 2nd time there. I did a report on them from our trip last August that you can read about.

I always enjoy your trip reports! We have only been to Bonaire 4 times and each time noticing more and more growth. Good and bad. More restaurants to chose from. We leave for Cozumel on Sat. If you see a crazy woman jumping away from her dining table(expletives likely) due to a bee, that will be me.
OP
Right back at you @morecowbells I have always enjoyed your reports. Would love to run into you in Cozumel. If weather in the Pacific Northwest persists to be horrible in two weeks, I might consider another couple weeks here in Cozumel before I absolutely have to get home for some stuff at the end of February.

We just returned on Sunday. We never experienced the bait ball either, but we did see them swimming overhead in a huge highway of fish at Oil Slick. Unsurprisingly, a few barracuda were bringing up the rear.
