Greetings all, We had another great series of dives in one of our favorite dive destinations. Repeated some of our favorites but also dove some we have never done before. Went into the park and dove Playa Funchi. It was a very nice dive. In my opinion the rest of the dives in the park are really an advanced dive from the entry / exit perspective. The first few you come to on the trail looked too dicey for me. I'm sure the dive itself would be very similar to most Bonaire dives but getting in and out without damage is the trick.
We cooked in for breakfast and lunch. Cooked dinner in maybe 4 times. Hit a few of our favorite places; Mi Banana, It rains Fishes, and BobbyJans. You must hit the Bar-B-Que on friday nights at Buddy Dive. Its a very nice and delicious meal.
Our accomodations, We stayed at Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments, unit 12. I know there are some folks that rate this group of apartments highly. In fact I based my decision on that very thing. I must say, we were VERY disappointed with the overall management of the unit. Poor housekeeping. They came in once a day, put in some clean towels, made your bed, walked a mop thru the kitchen / living area and that was it. My shower was never touched the entire time I was there. There was a small white tablet, maybe asprin, lodged in the shower basin corner. It was there when I arrived and there when I left. We discovered the microwave was non-functional the first day. It was removed but never replaced. We were told the replacement unit was defective and they were waiting for a part?????? They failed to mention the exotic bird farm directly next door. A private home has a backyard with maybe 60 birds in cages. The noise was deafening during the day. I mean really loud, angry birds. And the smell was lovely.
I cannot nor would not recommend this place to anyone. We were paying $175 per night, Hi Season, and frankly I expect more for my money. I will never stay there again. Beware of Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments.
Other than the substandard apartment Bonaire was as usual a great place to hang out and dive.
My two cents, SeaFlea.
