Van der Valk Plaza Beach & Dive Resort Bonaire - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"We had a truly wonderful time at the Plaza. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how beautiful the hotel grounds were—the pools were sparkling and inviting, and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere that made every meal feel special. There was some construction happening during our stay, but it was managed very well and never disrupted our relaxation or enjoyment.
The food was consistently good, and even though the property has only one restaurant, the menu offered enough variety to keep every meal interesting. We were pleasantly surprised by the different options available each day.
Overall, our stay was incredibly relaxing. We felt well taken care of, enjoyed the peaceful environment, and left feeling refreshed. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway."
"The hotel is amazing. We had the penthouse with unobstructed views of the ocean. The apartment was very clean and well organized for a perfect vacation. If you stay less than 8 days, they only provide cleaning for an additional fee, however the apartment had everything needed for guests to clean up after themselves. The hotel provides toilet paper and garbage bags, you need to buy everything else so keep that in mind. The hotel is located only 3 min from the airport and about 5 min from all grocery shopping. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. There is a dive shop on premises so if you plan to scuba dive, this is extremely convenient. The hotel has covered parking ( providing some shade) however parking there was not available to we had to find parking on the street. Right in front of the hotel is the road so the only disadvantage if you are facing the ocean was the noise from the street. The food at the restaurant was ok, nothing special. We were 5 people, including my kids and the penthouse was absolutely perfect for us. The hotel is close to many dive sites, donkey sanctuary, many restaurants and stores."
"Great staff make this hotel. Being met at the airport was so useful and a huge help. They gave us a good deal on the hire car and let us keep it til late on the day of our flight. Highly recommend you consider booking here "
"From the moment we arrived, the hospitality at this property was exceptional. When the check-in lady learned that my suitcase had been delayed by a day, she truly went above and beyond—offering us a drink and even helping me find some toothpaste, Her kindness set the tone for the entire stay. The property itself was spotless, kitted out with care and attention. The apartments layout and facilities were modern and tastefully decorated. The staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, from the front desk to the team at the on-site Wannadive Concern, who made our diving experience both safe and unforgettable.
We felt completely relaxed throughout our stay and left with beautiful memories of an amazing holiday. This place exceeded all expectations, and we’ll definitely be returning soon. Highly recommended!"
"There was a small view of ocean but the location was perfect. The aircon in the bedrooms was worked great, however blankets would've been very nice. They were not provided and had to be bought. Beach access was great. Check in was confusing. People were supposed to meet us for check out, but never showed. But overall, a great home base. The plus...there was a pitcher of water in the fridge when we got there. Soooo appreciated. We did buy the condo a second pitcher and more ice cube trays."
"This was an amazing experience. I arrived with a family of five total (young college age and two older adults). We had the penthouse and it was divine. Every detail was amazing. It was quiet but accessible to area attractions by car. Easy parking, friendly staff always available for question. I would love to stay at other properties they manage but I have to say we left our hearts at Bliss Bonaire!"
"Resort Bonaire Review – One-Bedroom Apartment
During my recent trip to Bonaire, I stayed at Resort Bonaire in a one-bedroom apartment. Overall, the stay was comfortable and well-suited for a dive-focused trip, though there were a few quirks worth noting.
Room & Amenities
The apartment featured two twin beds, which could be pushed together to form a king. Since I was traveling with a friend, we opted to separate them for added space and comfort. The room itself was clean and functional, with enough storage for our belongings.
One of the highlights was the fully equipped kitchen, which included a dishwasher—a great convenience for longer stays. The ability to prepare our own meals was a plus, especially given the limited dining options nearby.
One downside, however, was the air conditioning setup. While the bedroom had AC, the living, dining, and kitchen areas did not. This made those spaces noticeably warmer, especially during the day. It would have been nice to have a cooling option for the entire apartment.
Dining Option
Resort Bonaire offers a single meal each night for a very reasonable price. The catch? You have to get there early because they often sell out. The rotating menu ensures variety, but since there’s only one option per night, it may not suit everyone’s tastes. That said, the convenience and affordability were definite positives.
Final Thoughts
Resort Bonaire provided a solid stay with comfortable accommodations and useful amenities. The AC limitation "
