“Great for Divers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2009
1
person found this review helpful

WannaDive Hut is a perfect accommodation for divers coming to Bonaire to do some serious diving. If you are a diver traveling with non divers they might not be as comfortable. We had the same room that the last poster had #10 and we found everything to be in good condition- with the exception of a missing tv remote control. Our room had an air conditioner that we quickly learned to not set below 26- brrrrrrrrrr....... There was a small refridgerator and the king bed was very comfortable( twin bed also in the room). Water pressure wasn't the same as we are used to but again nothing you can't survive for a few days. The diving in Bonaire is fantastic so you won't have time to think about the pro's and con's of the room- you'll be so exhausted from the days diving that a shower and a bed become the only "must haves" while on vacation there.

We stayed 4 nights on the island of Bonaire (staying 9 more nights in Aruba). The Hut is very centrally located which makes getting around really easy. We got a great deal on a truck rental to make hauling dive gear/tanks more manageable(don't forget to ask for a tank rack when you book the rental). We stopped at the grocery store when we arrived and picked up a few snacks and breakfast items. We were glad that we did b/c although WannaDive offers a short breakfast menu the one day we waited for them to open we were disappointed that off of the short menu they were out of fruit, oatmeal and bagels...so we got and oj and some coffee and headed into town for an early lunch- found a Subway and picked up some footlong subs for the long afternoon of diving.

You can also get a package rate with WannaDive for unlimited tanks- which really was the way to go. They have 2 locations you can pick up and drop off tanks at. Another advantage at Wanna Dive is the dive locker and rinse tanks for your gear. We only did shore dives simply b/c there are SO many of them. We did 12 dives in our short 2.5 days of diving and they were all great. We also used our Marine Park Tags (you are required to purchase ($25) before diving in Bonaire) to gain entrance to the National Park. It was a great way to spend the day before we left the island. It took us about 3 hours to drive through it- bring plenty of water to drink and batteries for your camera! We ran out of both.

One more note- If you are looking for a good place to eat we really enjoyed our meal at "It Rains Fishes"- everything we had there was fantastic including the bill- very reasonable.

Hope this review helps, we will stay at WannaDive Hut again.

“Nice place, friendly staff, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2009

The Wanna Dive Hut was a good place to stay. We were there 5 nights. The staff welcomed us, had maps, dive sites, etc. for us when we checked in, and was nice the whole week. It was a very quiet hotel and probably not even half full. They had a great rooftop bar, but unfortunately, no one used it and they didn't keep the lights on up there to encourage use. There was some outdoor sitting near our room and that was nice for reading/journal writing late afternoons. This is definitely not a "party hotel" and I think everyone was in bed by 10pm to be ready for diving the next morning. I didn't dive with this hotel, but they had opportunities to do so.

It is a 10 min. walk to "downtown" where there are restaurants, groceries, Internet, soccer, and souvenirs. It was a 10 min. walk to a sandy beach (most beaches are coral) where you could lay down a blanket.

We didn't have any problems checking in or out at this hotel. The only negative thing is that it wasn't cleaned a lot. They usually replaced the towels, but didn't bother to put the toliet paper in the toliet paper roller when it was completely out. That was a bit odd.

Overall, it was a good value and clean and new. We paid $65 USD/ night and had a big bed and a twin. It's a $13 USD taxi from the airport. I would recommend this place and stay there again.
