    It needs some deep cleaning and staff training
    Let me start by saying I’ve been to Bonaire 25 times, and have stayed at Captain Don’s many times in the past. This past trip was with a dive shop group, and reflects my personal opinions of the hotel, restaurant, dive operation, and some other parts of the resort. First, the…

    I got certified at Captain Don’s!
    Last year, we spent a week at Capt Don’s. What a fabulous place! I was so nervous to take my open water test, but Alex was such a great instructor. He was so patient and taught me so much more than I learned up here in MN. We loved the cottage we stayed in and the breakfast was…

    Great stay
    We stayed @ Habitat for 2 nights in one of those bungalows that they have. Very happy with everything like staff, front desk, bar and restaurant crew. Maybe a little outdated but very clean and well maintained. With new mattresses I would give it a 5 star.

    Cannot Handle the Business
    We have stayed at Captain Don's for several trips, no problem. This trip the resort was full. Good for them, I guess. We found the dive boats overcrowded and not fun. We paid for 12 boat dives and gave that up for shore diving. Final straw, we made a dinner reservation for 1930…

    Can you tell me if your one room bungalow was quiet, and were you able to cook as you wanted with the limited utensils?
    It was quiet. No noise issues at all. I did very little actual cooking but I had everything I needed to have sacks and cocktails :)
