After reading the reviews on this site we were more than a little worried about staying here. We should not have been. Had an Ocean Villa but then asked if we could upgrade to a Deluxe - no problem. Mimi and Virma on reception were more than helpful. Staff in the restaurant were great, on nights it was busy the... more

There are good sides and bad sides about the Habitat. Once again it was very useful to know about the shortcomings beforehand. First about the good sides: We had an oceanfront deluxe room. The room location was excellent, the beatiful sea and pool were right there. Also, they have attractive flowers in the gardens and pool area. We enjoyed tea... more

We just returned from a trip to Bonaire over Christmas. We stayed at Catain Don's Habitat. The day we arrived we got an apartment in a remote building called "flamboyant rooms" although we booked a ocean view villa for 600US$ per night for 3 adults and 2 children. The flamboyant room we got was dirty and filthy. There were cockroaches... more

We arrived to find our room, which had recently been remodled (which was why we reserved that studio specifically)had been double booked. We were "upgraded". They considered it an upgrade because it was to a suite from a studio. The couch was moldy and the whole place needed to be aired out. The first night was very uncomfortable. The mattress... more

my 4th trip to the same resort, Capt Don's habitat....this trip was just terrible. the staff cant get their act together, and they bad mouth the guests. Giant palmetto bugs( look like cock roaches) at night near the rooms, and they fly, also other bugs in the rooms. Staff socializes with the island people while guests are waiting on the... more

Having now visited Captain Don's - it is clear why this place has the mixed reviews it has on this website. That said, the place is set up for divers - it is not a place to go for 5-star luxury holidays in the sun - so if you don't dive or snorkel, there is not a great deal else... more

2007 was the second year in a row that my family stayed at Captain Don’s Habitat. We thought so much of it in 2006, there was no question that we would return in 2007. While the diving is as good as it gets and the diving staff was excellent, overall we felt that this year Captain Don’s was tired. We... more

The check in process was so slow it was ridicules. Room was clean and neat. Water pressure and temp were fine. Airconditioning work great! Resort food was surprisingly good except for breakfast, fair. They could have done something about the flies; we had to fight them for our food. The service was so slow I almost missed a dive due... more

Captain Don's was an absolutely wonderful resort. The diving speaks for itself and the fabulous dive staff made it that much better! As a matter of fact, I received my advanced and nitrox certifications with Wilco. The bar and resturant was a lot of fun with very reasonably priced food and drinks with a very friendly staff serving. The staff... more
