Bonaire Trip Report February 5th-15th 2008 Bellafonte Château de la Mer Intro: We are a couple (47 & 45 years old) enjoying an annual Caribbean vacation. We have been to a few places since 1992(Cuba, Dominican Republic, Sint Maarten, Cancun, Mayan Riviera, Puerto Vallarta, Turks & Caicos), mainly all-inclusive hotels, with a main focus on snorkelling. In the last 3... more

The best Hotel and location never met so far. The appartement is really huge in all sense. All you see in the website is true. In addition, you 'll find helpfull and devoted staff and owner to arrange any possible thing you might request. Close to the appartment (20 meters) facilities to rent/store and get diving equipment always ready for... more

Loved the Bellafonte. These moderately pricey apartment-style rentals are located close to the airport but the flight traffic is more of a curiosity than a nuisance what with the low number of flights in and out of Bonaire. The people here are friendly, helpful and courteous. They manage the units on behalf of owners for the most part so this... more

We looked forward to our 8th trip to Bonaire with great anticipation. Our first trip there was in 1987 so it would be our 20th anniversary visit. We had stayed in several different resorts/hotels on Bonaire with each having its positives and negatives but could never seem to find the "perfect" place. We have almost found it in the Bellafonte.... more

The Bellefonte is a perfect place for those that do not want to be in a gigantic resort, but want privacy, amazing views from every room, and a pier which is steps from your door loaded with marine life. My wife and I travel extensively and visited many other resorts and hotels on the island while we were there -... more

Wow! We stayed in the third floor junior suite and had a sweeping view of the sea, Klein and north part of the island. Can’t say enough great things about the staff at Bellafonte and the great accommodations. It was wonderful and really suited our casual and quiet style. The grounds are beautiful and the hardscapes throughout give it a... more

We stayed at the Bellefonte from May 5 to May 12 in one of the Grand Suites. The place is excellent and I highly recommend it. Before I get to all of the good things, I must mention one thing that wasn’t good – but that management responded to quickly and fairly, and was a temporary situation unforeseen by them.... more

We stayed at the Bellafonte May 16th-May 31st. This is our seventh trip to Bonaire and our seventh stay at the Bellafonte. My husband and I have traveled throughout the Caribbean on business and pleasure and have stayed at many hotel properties, but the Bellafonte is at the top of our "favorites" list. The hotel has 18 oceanfront single and... more

Kudos to Robert and his outstanding management of this beautiful property--everything from cleanliness, comfort, amenities, staff receptiveness/helpfulness is excellent. They really made my vacation very comfortable, memorable and wonderful. The property is very close to the airport yet noise was never an issue. For divers, the Yellow Submarine (an excellent dive shop) is less than 2 minutes away by car.... more
