“Spacious accomodation”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2011

We arrived at the Yacht club in the early hours and were shown to our apartment. I don’t give opinions just facts because everyone has different tastes and expectations. We occupied apartment 9 a 2 bed 1 bath. There were 2 generous sized bedrooms (by UK standards). Bedroom 1 had 1 bedside cabinet, a cupboard, wardrobe and chair but no mirror. Bedroom 2 had 1 bedside cabinet and a sofa and a mirror. The bathroom was enormous and consisted of a shower that never failed to give plenty of hot water, a toilet with no lid, a basin with only cold water and a bathroom cabinet. The lounge, dining area and kitchen were open plan The kitchen had sink, hob (no oven), toaster, coffee maker, microwave, fridge and several utensils etc, the sink only has cold water and hot water can be boiled with a hob top kettle. There is also a wardrobe in the kitchen area.

The lounge has two sofas and an easy chair, coffee table, TV with lots of channels. The dining area had a glass table and 4 chairs. The outside patio had a drier and table and chairs.

The apartment was a corner plot so the patio saw very little daylight and we had to have the lights on when in. There is a mosquito problem and we bought mosquito coils for outside dining, we found them adequate and were able to eat outside most evenings.

The dive tack room was sufficient and had plenty of hangers, the rinse tank was a large size and was easy to empty and re-fill when necessary. The only problem we encountered was someone kept parking a red truck right up to the tank which restricted our access.

The owners were very friendly and overall the Yacht Club was an excellent base for diving the reefs of Bonaire, the bed linen and towels were changed every third day and we were able to stay in the apartment on the last day until it was time to leave.

Room Tip: pack lots of mosquito repellent

“Everything you want in Bonaire!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2011

We stayed at the Yacht Club Apartments over Christmas/New Year and it has everything you could need in Bonaire.
We had a studio and the rooms are spacious with a living room, double (comfortable) bed, bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen is equipped for basic cooking with a hob and microwave oven.
The resort has a nice sized pool, parking area and a locked kit room for divers which came in very handy.
Yacht Club is about a 20 minute walk into town, if you want to walk, turn left out of Yacht Club and walk towards the town, as you get to the blue building on the right side of the road there is an small alleyway with a couple of bollards in the middle of it. Walk down here and it takes you straight to the beach front and the walk into town. It isnt particulary bright of a night but the lights from other apartments/hotels/houses give enough light to walk there and back fine. (We only discovered this half way into the holiday so worth knowing!)
If your going during the "rainy" season take mosquito repellent for the early evening/night.
They come out around 6 and hang around the pool area!
Yacht Club Restaurant onsite is in our opionion one of the best restaurants on the island. Is a must whether you stay at Yacht Club or not! See seperate review on restaurant!
All in all, a very nice, comfortable living space for a 2 week holiday. Would definately reccomend and go again!

“Good, simple accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2010

Spent two weeks here, booked through Bonaire Fun Travel. Yacht Club's about half to three quarters of a mile from the centre of Kralendijk so a bit of a walk in the heat of the day and rather dark and unlit at night. We used a hire pickup to get about and to carry dive gear.

For divers it's got a rinse tank and lockable wet room, very handy. Great breakfasts unfortunately the restaurant was closed for our stay as the chef had broken his ankle. Our suite was large with bedroom, bathroom, sitting room/kitchenette and walk in closet with safe. Pretty basic but adequate though only the bedroom had aircon.

If you want a place to explore Bonaire and the great dive sites and want to keep it simple Yacht Club pretty much fits the bill.

“If you are on a budget, stay here!”

Functional and immaculately clean. Secure and well maintained, the grounds and pool is nicer than you would expect for the cost. The bed and sheets were comfortable, there was plenty of hot water in the shower, and the a/c worked well. I would stay there again on my next trip. And the owners are fantastic!

“Had a Great Time!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2008

My husband and I recently returned from a scuba diving trip to Bonaire. I stayed at the Yacht Club Apartments three years ago on my first trip...this was my husband's first time to Bonaire. The YC has changed since my first stay...but most definately for the better! They added a restaurant/bar that serves breakfast and dinner. The parking area is much more accessible and there is a new gear locker. The apartments are still quaintly decorated with local artist's work. Our trip from the states did not start out well because we were stuck overnight due to a missed connection. But once we arrived in Bonaire Jolanda welcomed us as soon as we arrived at the YC even though it was past 9pm. She made sure we were able to get something to eat although the restaurant was closing at 9:30. Through our stay we discovered the restaurant had just opened July 1st and we had the opportunity to speak with the young couple managing the restaurant. Kim and Rick were extremely friendly and the food they served was excellent! We felt like we were in a fancy restaurant but without the fancy prices. Kim makes an outstanding breakfast juice! Jolanda and Wilfried were exceptional hosts and we wish the best of luck to Kim and Rick on their restaurant. We will definately be staying at the Yacht Club the next time we return to Bonaire.
