Delfins Beach Resort

Overall - one of the best resorts we’ve stayed in. This is a newly built place and they did fabulous job turning barren land into tropical paradise. Everything is very well maintained and taken care of. There are three pools, two breast-deep and one for kids. One pool is 25 meters long, which is rare at resorts (albeit not good for sport swimmers as it was too warm). They don’t use chlorine but something else, more pleasant. Spotless public washrooms. There are parking places by each building, which is rather convenient for guests with cars. In my opinion, renting a car in Bonaire is a must. The beach There is sand, nice lounge chairs, enough shade, drink and food service, but beach entry into the sea is coral, better wear some shoes. We used the peer to get right into the deep water, and then swam/snorkeled around. Plenty of fish, however, there are better reefs in other parts of the island. We managed to spot a small octopus, couple of sting rays and a turtle. There is a very good and large gym, air conditioned, we used it a bit for Pilates. Rooms We stayed in a budget studio, it was clean and comfortable. The small kitchenette was a big deal, we used it a lot. I personally liked the quality of construction - they went for good materials, and did good job. Room service daily, helps given lot of sand around. Quiet and efficient AC, comfy bedding. A bit annoying was cutlery. Two knives, two forks, two spoons… Dutch efficiency, I guess. Having four of everything

The area is beautiful. However the place needs upgrading , the furniture in the common areas in your room is like outdoor patio furniture. It’s not comfortable to hang out and relax. The ceiling fans are not powerful enough to give off a nice breeze there is no cross ventilation. Windows on one side. The house keeping does the bare minimum. Changes your towels makes your bed. The tile floors were not swept well. We always had sand on our feet. Surfaces were not wiped. Bar service is slow anywhere we ate or drank, Except Senage. Our room B04 is right behind the kids pool we paid extra for outside seating. For the extra not worth the hassle and noise. There is a lot of construction going on around and near the facility. Note rent a 4 wheel drive jeep or truck because the roads are not all paved and narrow. Plus you need one if you want to visit the national park. Don’t make the mistake and eat the oysters my husband was sick for two days. Which sucked because we were not able to have our 35th anniversary dinner. Plans cancelled. Bonaire is beautiful drive to the beaches there are many. Snorkeling and diving is great. Food is expensive anywhere you go.

Delfins resort was amazing. About 5 days before arriving we received an email upgrading our room from a 2 bed to 4 bed villa due to some construction. The villa was great. The check in, QR code to pay for food and drinks and the maid service were all top notch. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The pools were awesome with one of them 25 meters for swimming laps. The gym was a club with actual membership. It was very well equipped. The Dive Friends dive shop was outstanding as well. Overall it was a great experience for our family. Definitely would stay here again.
