    Hit and miss
    This hotel is a little hit or miss. The staff are mostly very friendly and work hard, though not very efficiently. The reception at my new hotel, isn’t very effusive. They’re making me pay to rent the safe in my room. I’ve never come across that one before, when the safe is…

    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…

    Diving Trip
    Had a good time at Captain Don’s. Diving was awesome. We could come and go as we please and either dive at the resort or go to the multiple places offsite. The water is warm and beautiful and the sea life is plentiful.

    Great for experienced divers.
    This was our first trip to Bonaire and Capt Don's. The first thing to note is that Bonaire is not a "tropical" island. Rather, it is a desert island. Think Arizona or west Texas, but surrounded by beautiful Caribbean blue seas. So if you are looking for palm trees and…

    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 :)
