Buddy Dive has fantastic facilities for divers, weather you are a beginner, budding photographer or veteran diver. As a young single lady traveling alone, security was an important factor and I felt absolutely safe and welcomed. I was concerned that with so many shore diving opportunities on Bonaire that I might miss out b/c I was traveling alone - not... More

My husband and I stayed at a neighboring resort that offered a package deal that included unlimited air fills at Buddy Dive Resort. Both the dive staff and the ladies at the shop were all very nice and helpful. We loved the way the operation was set up. They have a drive-through for tank fills if you dive elsewhere on... More

This resort caters to divers & is in a grand location. The staff are helpful & resort offers many cool excursions. Some of the rooms are showing some age but all the necessities are provided. The breakfast buffet is worth it & for the price it's a good deal. True, there's no beach but still a great on the ocean... More

My husband and I chose this hotel because of its price, and also because it is directly at the ocean and has direct ocean access. The location is very nice, especially the pool bar which is directly at the ocean. (There is no real beach though.) The breakfast buffet was great- they have anything you would want for breakfast and... More

Our stay at Buddy Dive Resort was from Dec. 17-24, 2011. It was great! The group of 10 divers were given their own boat, and when we arrived our boat trips were scheduled and posted, so there was no need to try to get 10 people signed up for the same boat. The staff was helpful and the dive guides... More

We did not stay at Buddy Dive but did six boat dives through here and rented dive gear. Friends stayed here and their room was very nice and they had a good experience. The dive staff is very friendly and helpful. Well organized boat diving. The drive through for picking up tanks for shore diving is super convenient. Only complaint... More

Buddy Dive is a great resort for the serious divers who want to get in the maximum underwater time possible during their stay. It is a clean, efficiently run resort with a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Our 7-day package included unlimited shore diving (with truck provided) plus 6 boat dives each. It was our first visit to Bonaire and expected the... More

Last week was the 4th time we stayed at Buddy Dive resort. We found the staff always helpful and friendly. The girl at the front desk, Barbara, went out of her way to give us the rooms we wanted. Thanks again Barbara! The dive staff are knowledgeable and very friendly and helpful. I never saw the housekeeping people but our... More

This was our second stay here this year. I wrote a more extensive review posted May 9, 2011, so I will try not to repeat too many things I already covered. The resort is a modest resort suited for those who aren’t looking for “fancy” but are looking for a great dive resort location. Eat, sleep, dive, have a few... More

The good things. A typical day.... Wake up, get dressed. Walk less than one minute to the tasty breakfast buffet overlooking Klein Bonaire and the Buddy Dive boats. Go directly downstairs to the dive shop & dive locker, grab your gear and walk 10 seconds to the dive boat. The tanks are already loaded. A quick boat safety briefing and... More
