We are on board our return flight having spent the last week at the Buddy Dive Resort in Bonaire.  The resort was very nice, clean and well maintained although the roads on the property could use some repair work.  The staff was friendly and polite. The dive operation was very professional.  The dive masters were very knowledgable and gave clear... More

The "hotel" room was on the top floor, normally this is fine with me but the stairs to the room were so steep it was extremely unsafe. The A/C did not work at all. Checkin was ridiculous, they kept thinking there were three people in my party of two, they said I booked an entire week when I had only... More

My husband and I traveled to Bonaire in January - and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The diving there is just out of this world, and we will definitely be back! We just think that next time our money would be better spent renting an apartment instead of staying at Buddy. We went to Buddy dive and stayed in a... More

This was our first time at Buddy Dive. Check-in was chaotic, as we arrived the same time as 3 large dive groups. However, we did not let this keep us from enjoying ourselves. Besides, you get a truck for your personal use throughout your stay!!! Our room had a furnished kitchentte and a balcony with a view of the sea.... More

Let me start by saying... This was our second trip to Buddy Dive in Bonaire. Keeping in mind this is a DIVE RESORT not a typical tourist resort, it's a great place to stay in Bonaire. If you're a non-diver, this probably isn't the place for you. If you're a diver and you haven't been here yet, you're really missing... More

Good staff, great experience. Rental car was easy to drive and island was easy to navigate. We ate in most of the week and bought most of our groceries at the large dutch (new) market. Ask locals for markets not grocery stores as they will not understand what you mean. Food was about 25% more than in canada to buy... More

We came back to Buddy Dive, the third time in two years. What does this mean? This means that we have a great, stress free diving experience, at a place that feels more and more like home. We took my in-laws (again) who do not dive, or even snorkle, but loved it just the same. If you are familiar with... More

Fourth time in Bonaire, third time at Buddy's, and this time we elected to do all shore diving. I still love the place, especially the dive operation, but... #1. Bring back the Eat, Sleep, (Buddy) Dive t-shirts! Seriously, we love those t-shirts and now they are exclusively for crew? OTOH, the Buddy tree ornaments are very nice. #2. Breakfast is... More

This was my second trip to Buddy Dive with our local dive club. Most diving on Bonaire is shore diving so the inclusion of a small pickup truck with each room is a real benefit. Just be prepared for sticker shock at any of the local stations when you fill up your gas-tank at the end of the week. There... More
