saraschuelke Posted January 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2023 This resort was 25.00 per person with a 10.00 food or drink credit. We had a blast from snorkeling, lazy river, pool. It was absolutely beautiful! I would definitely come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WatchHill Posted January 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) We discoverd this resort for our November '22 Princess cruise and thought it the highlight of our cruise. No need to pre-book, take a taxi from the pier [about $4] and sign in at the front desk of the hotel - very nice staff. Cash or credit cards. We then headed to a grass covered hut to drop off our belongings on the comfy lounge chairs and grabbed a few tubes to float along the lazy river What fun!!! There is a bar and restaurant on the beach where we had yummy pina coladas and a huge portion of nachos, chips, cheese, salsa and guacamole. The pools were very clean, not crowded, ample lounge chairs. DH brough his own gear and headed into the water to see reef fish. Wear dive booties to enter the water. When ready to leave, staff called a taxi for us. We are serously considering flying to Bonaire to stay at this resort.

Tableof414127 Posted January 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hi! We had planned to do this for our day but the resort said they only allow 30-40 adults per day and 10-15 kids. Did you have to rush off the ship and race there to get a spot? We dock at 8am and can be ready to go, but trying to plan. We are worried about that and adding unnecessary stress.

The day we were there, two ships in port, we were the only cruise ship passengers at the Resort. With other resorts not opting to allow cruise passengers to use their facilities, the choices become more narrow. IMO, if you really want to spend the day at a resort, then head over there immediately after the ship arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a group of 10 and I'm worried that we will get there and be turned away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucky0926 Posted February 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Was the snorkeling good? This sounds right up my alley but I would hate to go to a resort where there is no reef from the beach. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The Bari Reef is on front of the beach and Klein Boaire is slightly to the left, but still facing you. DH thought the reef fish ample and colorful. Be sure to wear water shoes.

I've been waiting to hear back from them on whether the day pass includes use of that awesome lazy river and the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchHill Posted March 16, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The day pass includes full access to the pools, beach and lazy river, with use of the tube floats. Plus the food credit helps off set the very reasonable & yummy pina coladas. Love the resort because it offers so many shaded areas in which to lounge. Best kept secret on Bonaire!

It looks fantastic - and I'm with you on the shade! We have a morning snorkel excursion booked so I'm hoping they have some passes left in the afternoon!

SpongeAlan Posted July 5, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Just did this on 6/29/23 and it was one of the best island visits on a cruise I have ever done. I was a little concerned that about getting to the resort as early as possible and had no trouble doing that at all. We got to the resort by 8:45 and paid our $25 each and used the lazy river and the pool. The beach area was mainly for snorkeling. We did not have the chance to snorkel, but it looks like it is a very hot spot to do that as there were several boats there, along with those who just walked in from the shore. We had lunch and drinks at the hut right by the beach. Used our $10 vouchers so it was pretty low cost at that point. Food and drinks were excellent. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you able to identify other cruise passengers during your time there? I mean, should I rush out to the resort to secure a spot? I was planning to eat breakfast at my own pace, then disembark and head for the resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangjr213 Posted August 27, 2023 #18 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Does anyone remember if the restaurants have kids menus? We are in port from 8am-10pm so will be eating at the resort. All of the menus on the website don’t show a kids menu. Looking for hot dogs or chicken nuggets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loring7 Posted February 5 #19 Share Posted February 5 What time do they open or start accepting day passes? What is the price range of the drinks and the food? Is there multiple restaurants we can choose from? Does anyone have photos of the menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading there in 2 wks.. I need to find a beach.. somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuker Posted April 4 #23 Share Posted April 4 This looks to be just what we're looking for. Thank you to all who have shared this. Can anyone state whether day visitors have access to snorkel gear and to bicycles. If so, I'm guessing there'll be an extra fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negn Posted April 5 #24 Share Posted April 5 Didn’t see any bikes or rental of snorkel gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyjax12 Posted May 18 #25 Share Posted May 18 Our ship only docks at 10 AM. Crystal ball predictions as to whether Chogogo day passes will be sold out? Also, are taxis the only/best way to get there? (Bonaire first timer here.😉) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
