Background Illustration for Hotels

Although meal plans are available at the larger hotels, the island has many excellent—and often inexpensive—restaurants. If you're planning a dive vacation, look into the many attractive dive packages. If you prefer a self-catering option, Bonaire has a large selection of condo- and apartment-style properties.

THE BEST HOTEL IN BONAIRE

Harbour Village Beach Club

Fodor's Choice

FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW

This upscale enclave is one of Bonaire's best luxury accommodations, especially if you opt for one of the one-bedroom beachfront villas, which are lavishly appointed and have outlandishly large marble bathrooms. Room patios open onto either the private beach or the mature tropical garden. Those seeking a truly romantic experience can order a torch-lighted dinner on their beach. Paddleboards and sea kayaks are complimentary for guests.

Pros

  • Beautiful long private beach with great snorkeling
  • Full service dive operator on-site with their own dive boat
  • First-class personal service

Cons

  • Standard rooms are a bit small
  • Not all rooms are oceanfront
  • Some rooms face the busy marina

Captain Don's Habitat

$$ | Kaya Gobernador N. Debrot 113, Kralendijk, Bonaire

Bonaire's very first hotel catering to divers remains a favorite even four decades later with a PADI and SDI (Suba Diving International) Center offering more than 20 specialty courses; mesmerizing reef formations 90 feet from shore; and beautifully renovated accommodations that include oceanfront rooms and suites, luxurious three-bedroom villas, and a few cottages. Designed from the beginning to be the island's most eco-friendly resort, the property is a recipient of the Bonaire Blue Destination Certification, and ongoing renovations, room additions, and refreshes of the entire resort are being undertaken in the most environmentally friendly manner possible. 

Pros

  • Full-service spa
  • Historic and eco-friendly
  • Popular bar and restaurant

Cons

  • Little for nondivers to do on-site
