The dive operation portion of Buddy's resort was exceptional and the staff are wonderful. The drive-thru pickup is also very convenient. However this is been our second stay at buddy dive and we've asked for a king bed and their idea of a king bed is to push two twin beds together and put a comforter over it so you end up as a couple sleeping in the Great Divide between two mattresses. When I complain this time they put a duvet cover over it which did absolutely nothing. And for the weak air conditioning, and I mean one wall air conditioner for the entire apartment that essentially just keeps the bedroom cool and the rest of the apartment stays hot with not even a ceiling fan, we were told that's just the way it is.

Very convenient resort for diver, drive thru for tank fill up, reef on site and dock for boat dives on site as well, food could be improved and outlets really need to be replaced (room 409) they barely hold anything, they are completely worn out, it was a struggle to charge devices, this is a cheap easy repair that could really improve the room quality.

Ac was only in the bedroom but no AC in the living room making the living room & kitchen too hot to stay in there. Electrical outlets were wore out and would not hold our hair dryer and phone charges. There is not a plug in anywhere by a mirror to shave or style hair. The king size was not a king but two twin put together and the seams rubbing your legs then using twin sheets to cover the bed!

Delightful staff and for a diver, it doesn't get easier or more convenient of an experience. The reef is nice, different than what I expected putting it up against the Red Sea. Different things to see essentially. Red Sea would be more colorful in hard corals and clams while Bonaire has large gorgonians and massive pipe corals where you simply don['t see in Egypt. A very nice 12 day stay. Red Sea would be more of a highly restrictive dive environment. Buddy dive is the polar opposite. Regulation and restriction is at a absolute minimum. Not unsafe, just wonderfully open and free for an AOW diver to simply just come and do his thing. The only negative which almost every hotel falls short on is for longer stays, the beds simply are never comfortable enough. I will return to Buddy Dive when traveling to dive on Bonaire in the future, there is no reason to stay anywhere else. Brock Seals

Don’t expect WiFi access during your stay unless you go to the restaurant. Staff is friendly but service average. Diving was underwhelming due to the destination of the ecosystem by Lion Fish.
