When asked to help with reservations, the front desk staff, though very polite and eager, sometimes did not follow through, resulting in arriving at a restaurant and finding that reservations were not made, or not having spa appointments as expected. ![]() Selection was rather small, and service tended to be slow. The house restaurant, Chibi Chibi, was also disappointing. Frozen waffles, bagels and English muffins, fruit and yogurt. The breakfast which was included was also basic. The floor was swept and beds made, but the countertop was not wiped down, nor the used water glasses replaced with clean ones. Housekeeping was the bare minimum some days the rooms were not cleaned until late in the afternoon, so we were short on towels after diving. ![]() Bedding was lumpy, pillows flat, and bathroom had areas of rust. The hotel accomodations, however, were disappointing. The boats were never over-crowded, the lockers on the dock were convenient. Whether you prefer boat-diving, shore-diving around the island, or diving just off the dock (the hotel is right on the calabas dive site), you will find what you want. The staff is very professional, and this is clearly a well-oiled operation. I would recommend the Divi to most of my friends (not neat freaks though).ĭivi Flamingo provides one of the best scuba diving experiences you can get. Our room safe failed twice in one week and required resetting.The downsides were not that big a deal to us- just minor irritations. We found watermelon seeds and a previous guests medication on the floor in several locations- not hidden in the corners (they remained on the floor for three days) The night side table was sticky and we had to wipe it down. When we booked into our room it was not cleaned to "hotel standards". If you are a neat freak, this may not be the place for you. Admittedly, this was my first time snorkeling and I cannot compare to other areas which offer snorkeling- but for a novice snorkeler like me, it was comfortable and fun. Snorkeling was easy and convenient, just jump off of the piers and enjoy the fish. Within the resort was a dive shop, which offers snorkeling gear rental for reasonable cost, Hertz vehicle rentals, an activities desk which provided information about on and off island tours, two restaurants with yummy food, and a nice outdoor bar all of which we used. It is also in a prime area for walking into town and finding shops, restaurants, and the local information centre. The Divi Flamingo is located 5 min from the airport and on the beach. All in all, I love this resort, will definitely return, and would recommend it to others. Bonaire is a small island, but has a lake to sailboard, vendors for kiteboarding, jet skiing and other water sports, along with premier diving and snorkeling. The wifi service was fairly good from my room by the water. There could be some improvement to access to the water by this beach. ![]() There is a second pool and a lovely jette to lounge and a small beach. There are some renovations in progress updating the pool and adding other places to relax and sunbathe, and those should be completed sometime soon. There are a variety of room views, and the ones overlooking the water offer an incomparably beautiful and peaceful view. The rooms are nice, though bathrooms seem a little worn. The staff are very good, but seemed a little shorthanded. ![]() The food service can sometimes be a little slow. The food is very good, though some recent changes to the menu offer a somewhat smaller selection than in the past. There are spa facilities,a small boutique, small casino, and Hertz car rental right onsite, and other car and scooter rentals are not far from the resort. The resort is close to the airport and close enough to town to walk in for shopping, wining and dining. The dive shop is right onsite and the staff are skilled and friendly, just excellent, always accommodating. Having been to Divi Flamingo many times, it is like a home away from home. ![]()
