“My favorite dive vacation spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I have been scuba diving for 36 years and have been to resorts all over the world and on some liveaboards. My favorite spot is the Divi Flamingo Beach Resort.

I first stayed at the resort in 1981 and have returned there 18 times. On my first visit to Bonaire, the hotel did not have TVs or phones in the room. Now every room has a TV and a phone, and there is a small business center in the main lobby. Throughout the years, the resort has undergone a number of renovations, and yet it still retains its island charm. The hotel staff is friendly and very helpful. On one trip we were celebrating friends' anniversary, and the staff arranged for us to have a celebration party (including a lovely cake and decorations) one evening.

The dive shop is staffed by professional, friendly, helpful people. I always feel at home when I walk to the dive shop and hear, "Welcome back!" from one of the dive staff. From the time you check in to the end of your diving, you can count on all of the dive staff to make your trip the best it can be. I will always remember being on a boat with a group of disabled divers, and I was amazed to see the divemasters work with the disabled divers. The divemasters were professional and helpful enabling everyone on the boat to enjoy the dives. You can count on the divemasters help with gear, to give comprehensive dive briefings, to point out special things to see on each dive, and to help divers in and out of the water.

I plan to return to the Divi Flamingo Beach Resort in June and can’t wait to get there.

“Divi Diving: Always a great dive!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Having just returned from my third trip to the Divi Flamingo, I'm happy to say that I once again had a wonderful week. The Divi Dive Shop runs an outstanding service. The staff is professional, knowledgable, extremely helpful, and makes each and every dive one to remember. The facilites and boats and dive schedules are perfectly set-up for easy access for all divers, including disabled divers, that results in a no worries diving experience...every day! And the dive sites...too many to count!
The friendly and easy-going hotel staff add to the overall relaxing atmosphere. Everything you want; from on-site restaurants (great food at great prices) to swimming pools to the bar is within a few minutes walk from any of the rooms. And the snorkeling is fabulous and just steps away from each room.
I'm already looking forward to next year's trip!

“Divers with disabilities love this place”

Just got back from a week scuba and snorkeling in Bonaire. Stayed at the Divi. Perfectly located near the airport. They have one of the best reef diving in the world. Calm warm water (79 - 80F). Well over 100 dive sites in calm clear water. Dive shop on site.
Got a flat tire on my powerchair and the maintenance people had it fixed in less than an hour. Great staff. Nice and clean resort.

Can't wait to return..

“Consistently enjoyable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We go once a year to Divi Flamingo in Bonaire, although we skipped going in 2011. We just got back from our 2012 stay, and it is as great as ever. The staff is friendly, and responsive to any request. More important, the dive shop is outstanding! The dive shop and the reef are only a few steps from your room, and the reef is one of the best on Bonaire. I dive, my wife snorkels, and just snorkeling off the dock we always see a menagerie of colorful reef fish, as well as barracuda, flounder, octopi and eels.
The resort is easy walking distance from downtown Kralendijk and its best restaurants, and the walk is along the oceanfront, with a view of Klein Bonaire.
The suites are clean and modern, if small. We stay as a couple in a one bedroom that supposedly sleeps six, and we have lots of room. But, as a warning, if we were really six people and not just two, it would feel cramped in a single unit, especially with only one bathroom.
The balconies are great, and the full kitchen always has a coffee-maker and a blender for mixing drinks, which are the main thing you want to make when on vacation.
This being Bonaire, you can always see a variety of bird life flying around the resort -- parrots, orioles, yellow finches, pelicans, you name it.
If you like Bonaire (and who wouldn't?), you will love Divi.

“We love Divi Flamingo!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

My Husband and I have been to Bonaire several years in a row now and when we leave we always can't wait to come back! Divi Flamingo is our favorite place to stay. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. The resort is in a great location because it's in walking distance to many great restarants and shops. We love eating at the resort too! The food and service is always great and the themed nights of the week for dinner were fun and always something new on each night. Friday night happy hour is a blast. Live music and a fun group of people! We recently got certified to dive and absolutly love the staff at Divi Dive! We love the calm water and how you can just jump right off the dock and go diving. The boat dives were great too. We got to see so many things and the dive instructors we went with always pointed out things to the group that I probabally wouldn't of seen if I were by myself. We can't wait until our kids are a little older because they would love to swim and snorkel in the shallow areas and be able to see all the fish! This resort is for young and old, we met all kinds of great people. We had a very fun and relaxing time!

Room Tip: We loved our room on the water. It was a great view and it was relaxing to sit on the balcony and li...
