As you can see from the title we didn't stay at this resort but we did choose to dive with them. I thought this place was great. The staff was very friendly. We ate at the bar a few times and at the restarant once and never had a bad experience. Captain Don's has a morning breifing that all divers... More

Okay we got here and check in wasn't all that friendly. Not a hi and welcome. A lets see your paper work. A few pages shoved our way to fill out. A few more. A key and a request for the 500 dollar deposit just in case. So that didn't sit too well. Then they let us lug our heavy... More

This was a very nice hotel. It is not fancy but it is clean and very convenient for scuba diving. The dive shop employees are very helpful. the dive masters, if you decide to do some boat dives, are great and i suggest that you do some boat dives as there are some sight you can't get to by shore...

This is our third trip back to Captain Don's and it won't be our last. If you are a serious diver, this is the place to be. You have total diving freedom 24/7! Take your choice of 3 daily boat trips and unlimited shore diving day or night. Tanks are filled on the dive boat but you do set up... More

This was my first trip to Bonaire and I will absolutley go again and stay with Captain Don. We were there for a week and got to know a lot of the staff. They are all very friendly and always available to help. Captain Don's makes the diving so easy, and enjoyable. The house reef is amazing. They have lockers... More

We've just returned from another trip to Bonaire. Captain Don's is outstanding! We stayed in the newer units and they are excellent accommodations. The diving operation is wonderful - we will miss Netto, Lutty, Ervine, Wilco and the rest of the dive staff until our next trip. They did everything possible to make our dives memorable and fun. The restaurant... More

Scheduled a boat dive/snorkel trip on line-with confirmation. When I got there-they didn’t have a record. That was OK, went as scheduled to Klein Bonaire etc. Dive folks went off with a guide-snorkel folks were sent off on own. Overall impression was they didn’t care much-not laid-back, just indifferent. Was reinforced when I got feedback from a friend who went... More

We rented one of the garden bungalows. A little grungy around the edges. Could use a thorough cleaning. Capt. Don's is a good location for dives. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were always able to sign on to the boat dives we wanted. We could rent the gear we needed and there was dockside storage room and rinse... More

We booked 11 nights at Don's in a ocean front junior suite. The room is new, clean, spacious, has a good bed and a nice terrass with a view on "Klein Bonaire". We joined the "meet the Captain" evening, had a word with him, bought his book and got the book autographed by him. Afterwards we had the babeque which... More

Captain Don's isn't the fanciest, but it is clean and short of some problems with our toilet--which they fixed promptly, was a great place to stay. If you are a diver, which I am not, it seems to be an ideal location. The snorkeling off the shore was fantastic--we even saw an octopus! Staff are very friendly--although at times you... More
