Spring Break - Cozumel, Bonaire...? On a budget

[das86turbo]

Hello
I want to take my two adult boys (22, 24) diving in March. I got them certified in Cozumel. They have 20 dives each under their belts. We love Coz. I’m thinking Bonaire as an alternative. Which I like because of the shore diving option. Also some night time fun. Belize...long boat rides. Not as desirable. They don’t have the experience either to do the BlueHole. I’d welcome other ideas. Accommodation wise, both kids are 6’3”+. Sharing a bed isn’t an option. Hotel Cozumel offers a room with a king and bunk or two twins.. I haven’t found a place with cots. I don’t want to pay for a secondroom. my other must have is all inclusive. They can eat and drink a lot. Want to create some fun memories. Not break the bank. Maybe our last trip as the “guys”. Last one where I’m footing the bill at least. All that said, what are some reasonably priced all-inclusive in Coz and Bonaire? Where else should we consider?
TIA

Not gonna find all-inclusives in Bonaire, except maybe for one that is pretty expensive. Also, not a lot of night-time stuff, except for diving!
Take a look at CoCo View in Roatan.

Anthony's Key Resort in Roatan is a very nice place. Good dives, all your food included and drinks are cheap. Went with my son last November and would definitely go back.

The local diving out of San Pedro, Belize, is 5-15 minutes from shore.

Where abouts were you thinking of when mentioning Belize?

Pretty difficult to get to evening entertainment from Cocoview.

Right, just the bar, like Bonaire.
But at least it is all-inclusive.
I think he is looking for a 6-legged unicorn.

If they structure the vacation right, it can be done for AI price without being AI.

Sunscape Sabor Cozumel is a pretty reasonably priced AI. I believe a few of the Suites have 2 double beds & a pretty comfy sleeper sofa. Food (IMO) is decent to good & AI includes alcoholic drinks. Entertainment/Activities team Provides pretty good variety of programs. Dive Palancar (my preference) & Dive House are on both site & you can dive with either - or any other dive operator can pick you up at pier. A bit far from town but close to the reefs.

The Plaza Resort in Bonaire is pretty much the AI on the island... The rooms ae very large and usually have 2 queens. If available there would be plenty of room for another bed. The dive shop - Toucan is excellent. As for pricing, that is going to be for you to decide if reasonable... All-inclusive vacation | Plaza Beach Resort Bonaire

i suggest go to coz. you can make your own AI with an airbnb, grocery and a liquor store. you can dance all night in the Zocalo.
