Bona Bista Vacation Packages

Management was not available. Could not arrange tours through the resort desk. No safe in-room as per room description. Pictures on web site do not reflect resort, rather taken from flattering angles. We stayed in the "Beach villa" which was nowhere near a beach. Room had no hot water. Room had a TV, but no cable, no antenna, no source. It took a while to get the stove to work, but we managed eventually. Very nice pool, though. Work staff were friendly and accommodating.

Plaza is by far the best resort in Bonaire. We stayed in 2 bedroom lagoon apartment with 2 adults and 2 young adults. 2nd floor (had an elevator but we didn't use it) 1. Snorkel, SUP, and kayak free (check in/out at dive shop). Make sure you turn it in the night before you check out! 2. The room is amazing, spacious, and well decorated. View of the canals/lagoon was beautiful. 3. Beso bar and pool in the new section had a great staff, and we never fought for a lounge chair or pyramid lounger. 4. Main pool was picturesque. Bar staff were top notch. Always ready to offer up a cold beverage or cocktail with a smile. 5. Snorkeling: go to the left and snorkel by the steps (you'll know when you see it) for the best fish. 6. Rent a car. We used Easy Car Rental just down the road. The girl who owned the spot was great. Hooked us up short notice with a low-deck Tacoma for 3 days. Had it brought to us. She also rents golf carts. Highly recommend! 7. Food at the resort was top notch. 8. Bring water shoes... hard bottoms are a must 9. Wifi worked flawlessly. Everywhere in the resort was great, speeds were fast enough for facetime calls home, downloading/ uploading pics, and texting. Download an offline map on Google maps and you'll be able to do everything you want, get anywhere you want, all without using data. 10. Can't say enough about how great the staff was for us 11. Downtown area is a little far in the heat (100% worth doing). 12.Cabs are set prices on the island. $15 from airport

The property was just OKAY. Nothing special. The room was new but the bathroom was dated. During my stay the towel rack fell off. The paint was chipping. Also there’s no room service. Housekeeping starts at 8:30 am so if you need a towel you have to walk to the lobby to pick it up yourself. If you need something after 10pm you have to walk to the lobby to pick it up yourself. There is no gift shop on the property, so if forget a small item the staff directed you to the town. Staff was not rude. They just did their job. No one went above and beyond. Also check in is enforced at 4pm but check out is at 10am. I asked for late check out at 11am and it was a struggle. Although they agreed they deactivated my key at 10am. The food at the buffet and restaurants were good. No complaints there. There was no real entertainment but walking into the town was less than 10 minutes so you were able to find things to do.. Overall I loved Bonaire but would not recommend the hotel.

Beautiful place and loving and attentive staff

Lac Bay was incredible and our favorite waitress, Julia, was a rock star!!!!!
