I have stayed at Carib Inn four times and highly recommend it. I was not going to do a review since I wanted to keep it to myself however I see the secret is out already. A couple of things. Do not expect breakfast - this is a small hotel. Do not expect luxury. Expect consistently comfortable beds (the best... more

Members of my family have been coming to the Carib Inn for over 15 years and we still love it just as much now as we did in the beginning. The Dive Boats take fewer numbers of Divers - no more than ten, and often less; the Dive Masters are sensational; and Bruce, Kitty, and other members of the staff... more

I wished I could have stayed here longer. This is a very relaxing place where divers are treated as grownups as witnessed by the fact that some guests have stayed for 50 times and more! Bruce was the first divemaster on the island in the early 1970s and his inn was also one of the first. The property shows signs... more

We've stayed here 9 times, and it's our favorite place to dive. Accommodations are plain, but the atmosphere is great, and they have the best dive instructors on the island. Very friendly place- all the staff, from housekeeping all the way down to Bruce himself. The small size and staff makes it almost more of a B&B atmosphere. Very quiet.... more

We recently returned from a thoroughly enjoyable week-long stay at Carib Inn. We had an upstairs seafront apartment and enjoyed having our own kitchen to self cater when we wanted to and a large ocean-side balcony to sit out on. The accommodation is dated but very comfortable, well equipped and captured the breezes from any direction. We never needed to... more

We spent a week, February 5-12, at the Carib Inn in Bonaire. The inn is located right on the ocean with a very small beach area, somewhat rocky. It is about a 10 minute walk into town where there are many places to eat. Next door is the Divi Bonaire which also has a restaurant. The inn is small, only... more

The place is clean and well kept. The staff is friendly and courteous. The kitchens/kitchenettes are enough to feed a family with. This is a real good deal for your money. The diving is great right off the dock. There is enough parking for all guests vehicles. Quiet and relaxing. All the guests are usually real friendly and quiet. I... more

I stayed at Bruce Bowkers Carib Inn last summer and learnt to dive. It was excellent. As a new diver i was hesitant but the staff were very friendly and helpful and advised me on what was best for me not what was the msot expensive (as you can find in some places). It is a small hotel with only... more
