The street that it’s on is extremely busy, and parking spots are tight. You really have to be careful pulling out. Also there is no gym, but we bought a guest pass at a nearby gym

Great spot to dive or snorkel right off the pier. Very convenient

A bathroom and shower by the pool would be nice, hotel isn’t really easy to use after checkout - facilities by pool would have been nice.

The staff was outstanding, Boaz and Karoline were top notch! Great service, well kept place, clean and comfortable rooms and beds. Really nice to have an adult oriented quiet hotel, all the guests were outstanding Too great mix! I rarely do this but I’d say 5 stars well earned!

a little pricey

stunning property right on the beach

I booked two Grand Suites and the level of care was different in one of the units. One was perfect and the other was not quite as clean. I would say that hotel is not quite what I would call this property, more like a condo complex with a dipping pool. The drinks and food come from the restaurant next door and sometimes the quality was so-so. Since we were more interested in eating in, this was not a huge factor.

The property has a lovely pier that one can use to jump into the ocean to snorkel. Lots of fish visible from the pier. The suites were large and comfortable. The view of the balcony was wonderful. The kitchen was stocked well with pots and dishes for a home cooked meal. AC worked well in all rooms, and the staff was very kind and helpful. I would stay here again.

The only thing I would have liked was a pair of slippers to wear in the room. After snorkeling and coming back with sandy feet, it would be nice to have a pair of slipper by the door to prevent tracking sand in. I had forgotten to bring my own unfortunately. They do provide nice terry cloth bathrobes.

The location of this hotel is outstanding. We had a room on the 1st floor, corner. We walked out our double doors (one set from the living room and another set from the bedroom) onto a large covered area with comfy outdoor sofa and large dining table, and from there just a few feet directly to the water's edge where there are 2-top tables, lounge chairs, and hammock chairs. Then a few more feet to the pier where there are lounge chairs and ladder access to nice snorkeling. The rooms were clean and had everything you need. They cleaned every day except Sunday. Staff was always helpful - we called once for towels to take to the beach, and they were at our door within 30 seconds to deliver them! Staff was outside early in the morning quietly wiping down all the chairs, railings, etc to keep everything nice and clean. It was a relaxing environment, not stuffy. I usually don't like to stay at the same place twice because I like exploring new things, but in this case, we had such a great experience, we will definitely stay there again when we return to Bonaire. Highly recommend!

This is not a standard hotel. Although you can ask for the staff to do some groceries for you, there are no eating facilities or a bar. Next door there’s a super nice small beach club with good breakfast.

The staff of Bellafonte is super friendly. Always there to help you out. The hotel is located in front of the sea, spectacular view and very nice snorkelling spot.

Only problem was our shower which didn't drain water well on occasion. However this was attended to promptly and the hotel was starting a major renovation when we departed.

Location, view,.. absolutely perfect. Attentive, courteous and professional staff, who helped us find and book a variety of things, from hiring a car, booking a sunset cruise or our dinner with utmost efficiency. Our room had a well equipped kitchen as well as thoughtful extras such as an esky and beachbag with towels and water bottle. Also sunset Sangria and nibbles from the BBQ on the day of arrival was a welcome and delicious start of our holiday. Particularly enjoyed swimming and snorkeling to the reef straight from their marina, as well as the complimentary yoga session with Charlie as the sun rose! To top it off, as our flights meant we arrived early and left late, we were able to have our room early and get late check out. Even complimentary shuttle from and to the airport.

Our room was a bit dated but they are renovating all now. For the rest all was great.

Exceptional location, best in Bonaire. Excellent service from the staff, helping out with everything we needed. The pier was amazing.

Unfortunately The staff at the beach bar next to the hotel is really not smiling and even sometimes polite .

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. This place is a little paradise and the staff is just perfect.

Spacious and clean appartment, very kind and helpful staff, private swim pier, complimentary yogalessons. Cleaning 6 days a week. Everything was super.

The view upon first arrival is breathtaking--the smile on your face will not go away. The combination of the grounds, architecture, and the turquoise expanse is so beautiful. It's in a good location for quick access to Lac bay and the southern parts of the island without being too far from the down-town. Snorkeling and diving right from the hotel's dock is suburb. The attached restaurant is very good and convenient for meals. Note that night-time activities are limited nearby and will require a trip into town. On the plus side, it is very peaceful at night. Pro tip: if you go to the top floor of the south elevator tower, you can look over to the Salt Pier to see if a ship is docked there (in case you want to dive or snorkel the pier).

A big thanks to, Yordi, Carlijn, Hanna, Johanna and the rest of the staff at the Bellafonte. It was like a home away from home. Super helpful and friendly and always available, great team.

The happy hour on the Thursdays was a great idea to get to know the other guests staying at the hotel, the atmosphere was really good.

There was constant hammering and drilling at the hotel and continued even after complaining. The hotel is way overpriced and lots of road noise, construction noise. It is not a luxury hotel and no services are available on Sundays. Towels & sheets were not the highest quality and the beds were hard as a rock, No restaurant at the facility, and the door to the next door restaurant is always locked. They charge a month prior to your stay - Beware! There was no drinking water left at the room. They were nickle & diming for everything. Front staff are all trainees and could not make decisions on requests and had to wait till the Manager got back.

The Room was simple and should not be listed as a Luxury hotel. Views of the water were limited.

The check in was wonderful and my arrival experience was delighting. Entering the room with the relaxing rituals scent (i believe) was a nice experience. The room looks very nice as as well. The girls from the reception are phenomenal and accommodating. The happy hour was nicely put. The only minus point is that you are serving beverages in hard plastic instead of glass. But again understandable since its a pool area and we don't want to have broken glass where people walk bear feet. Yet beer/water was served in glass bottles and can become a safety issue if it falls and break. Now some points on why its hard for me to give a 5 start rating * bed is to soft. I woke op with back pain everyday of my stay. *missing many amenities in the room such as iron and iron board, toiletries such as, Qtips, shower cap etc. As a guest I don't want to be calling to borrow or ask for these items. They should come standard in the the room paying this rate. *the electric water heater is a hassle, there is no where to plug it in the kitchen area. *cabinets are stuffed with decoration pillows and ice jug. Not sure what they are doing there. *all bed pillows are firm. No choice of soft and firm *There is no ice machine. ( we are in the Caribbean hot weather) The receptionist went the extra mile and got some ice from the office but it was just a little bit. Yet there is a champagne bucket and nice glasses. But no ice to fill the bucket. * one day hskp came to clean the room but did not do the dishes (minding that it was only one cup, 1 plate and 2 knives) * the next day hskp came and knocked as should. I friendly asked her to come back in one hour as i was finishing some work in a online meeting. (Did not hang the DND ( do not disturb sign) cause that is also missing in the room. However after 15 min. She came back already and knocked again disturbing my meeting again *booked with booking.com for a reason, however credit card was already charged prior to arrival.
