If you want the best of diving and the best of hospitality, the Bellafonte Chateau de la Mer is for you. Nestled in a lovely area directly on the ocean, this lovely inn is convenient to everything, yet away from the cruise ship mania of Kralendijk. Robbert is an excellent host, and will make arrangements for whatever you want to... More

We just got back from diving in Bonaire which was fantastic. We had a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit on the 3rd floor and it couldn't get any better. Everything is small in Bonaire which is just one of the things we like about it. Bellafonte may be small but it is one of the best places we have ever... More

For the 8th successive year I returned. After staying at othe resorts for the first few times I was in Bonaire I discovered the Bellafonte and haven't left since then. Beautiful views of the ocean looking west. From the balcony views of the sunsets and sometiimes the moon over the water at the right tiime of the month. Very comfortable... More

22 March 2012 Bellafonte Chateau de la Mer We just returned from our first, but diffidently not our last, trip to the Diving Heaven on Earth, called Bonaire. We spent a very short week on this gorgeous island. We fell in love with Bonaire and the Bellafonte was a wonderful place to call home. By opening the front door of... More

We went to Bonaire in November 2011 for a long weekend. We now know that we should have booked a longer trip! The Bellafonte is a great spot, great value and Robbert is an amazing manager/caretaker. The location is perfect for hopping in the car and taking off around the island for snorkeling, or, if you want to stay closer... More

This is a great place to stay. Right on the water. You do not hear the road noise as I had feared. Very quiet, well kept and if I needed anything the staff was very helpful. I really liked the set up they had for divers also. Instead of small lockers they had a secure locker room style closet with... More

The physical layout and views are wonderful and the prior four stays under Robbert's management were relaxing and very pleasant. During this last visit our interactions with the new management were unpleasant and we will not return.

I have been going to Bonaire for over 10 years and have stayed at many places on the island. This is the best. For the past five years we have been staying at the Belafonte. It's not a hotel but comes very close. The staff is there for what ever your needs. The condos are very clean and well maintained.... More

We had a great stay at Bellafonte. The owners are now managing the place. There is full security and service at night. Also have a look at below link, Bonaire is once again prize winner :-) http://www.examiner.com/scuba-diving-in-national/bonaire-named-best-overall-destination-again-by-scuba-diving-magazine

As windsurf addicted I decided to visit Bonaire. An holiday for sport and relax with my family! And Bellafonte was the right choice. Close to the city center and to the Windsurf Place, perfect for all your needs. The apartment (I choose the #204) was very clean and very well mantained, with all the amenities you may need: cable led... More
