Frommer's Review
Built on a coral bluff overlooking the sea and a tiny beach about 5 minutes north of Kralendijk, this divers' resort, with an air of congenial informality, is for those whose souls belong to the sea. Habitat and its accompanying dive shop are the creation of Captain Don Stewart, Caribbean pioneer and "caretaker of the reefs," a former Californian who sailed his schooner from San Francisco through the Panama Canal, arriving on a reef in Bonaire in 1962 -- he's been here ever since. Known on the island as the "godfather of diving," Captain Don was instrumental in the formation of the Bonaire Marine Park, whereby the entire island became a protected reef.
More than 90% of the guests here opt for a package, which incorporates a variable number of dives with accommodations ranging from standard doubles to villas with full kitchens and ocean-view verandas. Each unit has a bathroom with tub/shower combinations. The most popular is the 8-day/7-night package. This resort has an oceanfront restaurant and two seaside bars. A casual, laid-back crowd gathers for meals at Rum Runners, the social hub. Theme nights are staged weekly, which divert guests from the rather standard fare served here.
Facilities:
Restaurant; 2 bars; outdoor pool; dive program; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility
