โรงแรมคอรัลเลียม แอนด์ วิลลาส โบนแอร์

Until July this was a Marriott Courtyard and still has the decor and feel of a Couryard. it's much more a "business" vs. "vacation" vibe, and that makes for a peaceful and quiet atmosphere in the days I've been here. WHAT I LIKE: • front desk very helpful and there 24 hours. • View from my room, while not on the Caraibbean, is lovely though I don't know if the property sits on a man-made lagoon like the kind Florida has so many of or if it's natural. • It's clean. • There is no mildew odor as there can easily be in a humid clime. • Work out area is clean and a nice temperature. • Housekeeping staff is friendly, efficient, and professional. SURPRISES: • Though the Trip Advisor description and website says there is a restaurant (and even says it has "special diet menus," when I tried to eat there, there were 4 items available - a chicken wrap, a beef wrap, a tuna pizza and a cheese pizza. There are no other restaurants close by, so this was a big surprise. I ended up taking a taxi to and from the grocery store to help with food for the stay, though the frig is itty bitty (and no microwave). • My first-floor room had a lock to outside that was torn off the door (and they fixed it quickly when I pointed it out). There's no oven / microwave (maybe that's just in suites, but it's not specified in the description). • Advertised yoga classes, but none available. Anyone staying here should be aware that it is VERY close to the airport but after 2 days here, I've yet to hear air traffic coming or going. there.

Courtyard Bonaire Dive Resort @courtyardbonaire So after you check in they will take you in a golf cart to your room as there are no cars allowed on that part of the property (optional since its not a far walk) From there i got to my room which is the 1 bedroom waterfront villa. This villa is very spacious and dope. Comes with 2 full bathrooms and a fridge even has a little stove top to cook if we wanted to and all the utensils necessary. Im so grateful to the staff here who welcomed me with some nice words, a cake and even some gifts for my 40th birthday. That was such a pleasant surprise which im honored by. This resort is very chill and laid back as well as pretty quiet. Even despite being so close to the airport the sounds of the planes are definitely not a bother at all. Having Platinum Elite status is definitely an amazing thing to have. It comes with free breakfast every day annnnnddddddd a $20 food and beverage credit i can use daily at the restaurant & bar. Cant beat that. Of course i hit the gym too it isnt that big but has all the things essential to getting in a good workout while on vacation. There is a pool on site which is nice and there are some lounge chairs as well as cabanas for you to relax in. The hotel is not far from a lot of things and comes with free parking. You should definitely rent a car to explore. There is an awesome water activities shop on property to help you organize your excursions and you get a discount for being a guest at the hotel. I highly reccomend you do at least the snorkeling tour with them. Bonaire is just right up my alley being so chill and laid back like myself. Excited to explore and learn more about the island!

A very nice hotel with large rooms and a good position for visiting the island, close to the airport with a small pool, restaurant and helpful staff. Rooms are cleaned daily to a great standard and the general amenities and staff at reception are excellent. Not impressed with Greg the bar manager who uses the current restrictions to close as early as he can so he can get off home despite there being guests to be served a good 15 minutes before closing. Appears to have an hysterical panic attack at anything that doesn’t agree with his plans.

So, there have been people complaining last year about the swimming pool. Sometimes chemicals can get off balance. But, now, in January 2022 it is beautiful and refreshing! The staff has been extremely accommodating at the front desk, restaurant and housekeepers. My housekeeper even wrote a sweet not back to me when I left a note and tip. YES, you are supposed to tip housekeeping staff! ($5-$10/day is what I do). I am posting photos so that you can see how pristine the pool and resort are.

We booked a VRBO house on the island but were disappointed when we arrived to no AC, so we quickly switched to this hotel. They were able to find us two rooms close together, and the whole trip ended up feeling like we were supposed to stay there. The people who work at the hotel are the best. They took us in gold carts with our luggage to our room. They printed our boarding passes since Bonaire doesn’t accept electronic passes. Jean and Andres at the restaurant were top knotch, so kind. We brought our two daughters (2 and 5), and everyone was so helpful and kind. Breakfast was free for the kids, expensive for adults ($30/person, unless you have a room rate that includes it). We called to have our rooms cleaned most days, but sometimes they didn’t come. The pool was great for our kids with an easy entry. I didn’t realize until the end of the week that there are foot sprayers on the back of the ice buildings. As divers, we appreciated the drying rack in our building. We used it each day. The hotel is in a great location for pretty much everything we wanted to do. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable when we hadn’t even planned on staying there this trip!

The Hotel is very close to the airport lying at an artificial laguna. It's a nice location, but a little ofside of any attraction or beaches. You need to have a car to really enjoy Bonaire. The hotel itself marked itself as a Dive Resort, but there is no dive center. Behind the hotel there is a shop for watersports activities and they work with a dive center. The staff was friendly but missing competence, with the exception of the staff at the restaurant. The food was quite limited but of good quality Rooms are ok, but only cleaned every second day. I have never seen this before. It is absolutely not accessible for a hotel of such name. We will not come.back again as there are much better options in the area.
