My expectations were not high as we were traveling with a dive group and new this would be a lower budget hotel. The resort is an all inclusive resort which includes room, food, and alcohol. The resort is also very diver friendly, meaning there is a dive shop on the property and easy tanks available on the edge of the... More

Enjoying your trip is in large part about managing expectations. That is why you are reading this review, most likely; good for you. So let's set proper expectations about Bonaire and the Plaza Resort Bonaire hotel. By the way, I am in the insurance business and have no ax to grind or agenda here; I just like setting the record...

This was our 9th trip to Bonaire and 5th stay at the Plaza. We go to dive, but the ambiance of the location is important, as well as, the diving. We won't return to the Plaza, but will return to Bonaire. Everyone at the resort was very nice and the Grand Ocean View Suite very nice. They are improving the... More

The resort has improved since last year. The staff has improved as well, we even recognized a few faces. We had a blast! We had a great time last year too! The diving even seemed better this year. If you can, be sure to dive Salt Peir! We recommend you dive Karpata by boat, the entry a large flight of... More

This was our first trip to Bonaire, and we went because Bonaire is especially known for terrific diving and snorkeling. The Island has been environmentally protected for over 20 years and it shows: there are numerous good locations around the island for both diving and snorkeling. And, the Plaza Resort has one of those really good locations, and it's right... More

We stayed here the first week of April. The facilities are nice and the room was well maintained. There is evidence the economy has had an effect, but overall it was nice. We were on the all inclusive plan, which included boat dives. There is only one restaurant, but the food is good. The choices are not as big as... More

Some dive resorts can be a bit seedy, the Plaza isn't one of those. The place is being upgraded, so it is a work in progress, buit the accomodations are clean and comfortable and the staff is excellent. The rooms are large and there are plenty of spaces to hang out: the bar, the pool, the beach. It is all... More

Hotel says there are 3 restaurants. That is not true. There is one restaurant. The second and third are both closed. The restaurant is supposed to serve food until 10:00, but we tried to order food at 9:30 and were refused by the staff. The bar will not order some types off food for you for some reason and makes...

Dive operation at Plaza Resort was excellent for our morning boat dives. In the afternoon we had a car and did shore diving - it was a FABULOUS adventure. The hotel room was clean and very spacious. Sliding doors to patio/deck was extremely difficult to open (needed two hands and a lot of muscle). Only drawback was schlepping your dive... More
