We stayed at the DIVI 4/6-4/15, two studio rooms, moldy, but easily solved by opening the windows during the day and turning on the AC at night. Very easy walk to town with "gate key" decent drinks, excellent dinners at chibi chibi. The diving was great. loved Karon. I agree that this is not a 5 star, but we had a nice stay and no major complaints and actually would return and stay here again.

Just got back from a great week in Bonaire, go at aleast once a year, and stayed at the Divi resort with an all inclusive package. I had stayed at the Plaza in the past and wanted to try something new but I have now learned my lesson. When I booked, I made it clear that I wanted a second floor king (I am 6'5" and I had read in other reviews that they had problems with the oceanfront lower level rooms and the smell) and they said it would no problem but when I arrived, they had crossed out a 2nd floor room on my check in paperwork and the all inclusive coupons and indicated a below level room. Aparently a group came in and to placate someone in that group, my room was changed at the last minute. ended up with a very bad moldy smelling room with few of the things they advertised such as a mini fridge. After a number of trips to the front desk, they did supply one a few days later. Also, there was some confusion about the all inclusive. tried to go to dinner the night we arrived with the coupons and was given the run around for about 2 hours. Food in the rest. was good, so was the service. Divi is building another resort on Bonaire that is geared for families and maybe that is why they are letting this one run down some. As far as the diving with Divi, I have not dove with any better divemasters that Looty and Orlando, they are amazing at what they find and very personable BUT, watch out for Serge, the dive shop manager. Very rude and condescending like it is our privlige to dive at HIS operation. charged me for things we did not do and would not remove the charges even when he acknowledged a mistake. Except for diving Klein, don't bother with the boats, rent a car. All inclusive is Ok but save your money, rent a car to dive and to enjoy the many great rest. in town.

My Travel Agent made a mistake on our reservations. Divi personnel extended every courtesy available to straighten out the mess my Agent made. We arrived in the middle of the night. Divi put us in separate rooms and told us we could straighten things out in the morning!!!!! All the personnel went out of their way to make our vacation fabulous. Food and diving were great. Thank You Divi .

Spent a delightful week at the Divi, diving and snorkeling as much as humanly possible. Bonaire has the most convenient diving aside from a live-aboard, which is great because there's not a lot to get excited about other than the diving.

The reviews of the resort are fair.We had a beach-front unit that had been recently updated, and it was clean and large. But the grounds show many signs of being just worn out. It's an older poorly designed resort that's falling apart here and there. But the pools are clean and in good shape. The staff are mostly cordial, probably more so than the preponderance of Dutch guests.

We ate the breakfast buffet every day because it was a good bargain. We dived with Divi Dive and found them to be competent, but not overly frendly. We did some shore diving using their cache of tanks in the parking lot. We used their diving equipment, and it wasn't the best.

I was surprised to see 2 cruise ships show up in 2 days. Then the cruisers show up for their "shore excursion" at the Divi or the Plaza. They just take over the beach and all the lounge chairs, and if you're a paying guest, well good luck. Just as well we weren't using the beach ourselves.

It's an easy walk into town, especially if you give them a deposit and get a gate key, that lets you avoid walking on the busy road into town. We especially liked Casablance with its Argentine beef (along with rice and 2!! kinds of potatoes) and It Rains Fish. At Sunday dinner at Donna & Luigi ( just outside the Divi gate) we were seated for dinner and 6 older men showed up, took a table, and played local music for a few beers. The waitress said that's how they spend their retirement.
