“Perfect - it is exactly what we like & want.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2011

person found this review helpful

This is our 2nd stay at BOA - our first was our wedding 11 months ago. The location is perfect - a short walk to town for groceries, and shops without all the noise of the outdoor restaurants etc. It's on the water (across the street) with a pool to float in and the ocean swimming lanes are also right out front. *You can see the ocean from each rooms patio.
The dive shop (Buddy Dive outlet) & staff are friendly & helpful and it is small enough you dont get "swallowed" by a resort & get out to see Bonaire not the compound you are staying in.
Staff are great - will help you with whatever you need. They are as attentive or as we like -inattentive as you need - if you want something - just ask. Rooms are clean, simple with whatever you need, we did pack a few things that were essential to us - but have found we can get them in Bonaire without packing them down (bbq tongs, chef knife, champagne flutes, pool floaties, etc).
*There is a main BBQ for all to use which you can buy charcoal for and as well- there are now single use ones in the rooms which is a great touch - we just put ours in the big BBQ as we did not want to smoke out our neighbors.
The boys in the office can help you with whatever you need (including translations for dutch foodstuff instructions) as well as suggestions for things you may wish to try or experience. (fishing, windsurf, land/water sailing, parks etc).
Most folks who stay here are return guests - they are quiet, respectful, & friendly. It is a family place with all ages staying here and geting along. It is a warm and comfortable environment, where you will see or meet the others staying there and even if they speak another language everyone still is friendly & pleasent.
Parking is TIGHT - so if you rent a big Hilux truck you will have trouble fitting in between the "lines".
This is not a place for people who are "high maintenance". Residents clean their own dishes, there arent hairdryers, and the living rooms dont have aircos, but there is always a breeze and ceiling fans. The kitchens are stocked with blender, toaster, micro, fridge/freezer, pots & pans & range top. The bedrooms are simple and if you want to sleep in the same bed as your partner - the girls will push the singles together & makeit into a king bed.
BOA is a beautiful, simple apartment complex made for ease of living & diving in Bonaire. Also we found it to be one of the best dive spots on the island.
Our thanks to Muys, Dennis, Niels, Rob & his dive staff for a great vacation again.. Masha Danki!!! Ayo!

“Perfect location, great view, nice pool and comfortable appartments”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2011

The location is perfect, restaurants nearby, shopping centre just a few steps, beautiful seaview from all appartments, view on Klein Bonaire, in the middle of where it is all happening and stil very quiet and relaxing at the swimmingpool. First time we came here as a couple for diving and watersports each day. Now we have a son of 4 and we rescheduled our day plans into more relaxing and more swimming at the pool. We asked for an appt on the groundfloor so our son could walk in and out to the poolgarden. Before we stayed in the Penthouse as well as the appts on the first floor. They are all comfortable. Most appartmentes are restored in 2010. We were pleasantly surprised to find new bathrooms, new furniture in and outside, comfortable beds. The appartments are clean and the owners are very friendly and have a great Dutch sense of humor! A week later our friends arrived and we had a BBQ in the poolgarden where a BBQ set is available for general use. Also a diving school on location. Every night enjoying the sunset on our terrace or balcony. We love this place and we will come back later this year!

“Location ,Location,Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who wants all the comforts of home , The view from the private balcony on the second floor was breathtaking. The unit we stayed had airco and TV in the living room and both bedrooms. It also had a stocked kitchen , DVD player ,complete DVD library , stereo system ,books and games There was something for the whole family. The private pool and palapas were a great place for BBQ . The family walked tothe water taxi,restaurants and clubs to hear live music. The onsite dive shop and staff made our vacation the best value in a long time. I am planning to go back next year

“Super value, comfort and location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2010

Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments has a super location and view. The unit we stayed in was clean and had all the comforts of home. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked for cooking (although the location was walking distance to great restaurants as well as shopping). Our unit had an airconditioner in the living room but there was a small charge to use it, which we didn't mind paying. It was pretty warm on the island when we were there. There is a small dive shop on the property which was really convenient. All of the units had a ocean front/pool view that was really amazing. For the money, this is the best value on Bonaire. We will definately be back

“A hidden jewel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2010

We stayed at Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments in #9. We love that place! Had good service with no complaints! Lots of rehab going on at BOA, but the construction noise was minimal, and they started late, and quit early. Thank You Dennis and the crew for another great stay! That place is truly a hidden Jewel.
We have made our vacation plans for May 2011, and we are going back to Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments. The pool(freshwater) is so refreshing after a dive in the sea. There is a diveshop on site with everything you need from air to rinse tank. The diveshop staff is top notch as well. Counting the days till we return......
