there’s no other restaurant outside the hotel

nice pool and bars

It appeared that most guests rented cars. I did not and spent a fortune on taxis. $25.00 one -way to town to stock up on groceries or to Donkey/Te Amo beaches. $35.00 and up to go to the farther,better snorkeling spots. Each way! It's a minor point but the hotel,although small, is a bit spread out . About half the rooms look out over the parking lots that encircle the hotel. This proximity may be useful for some people to be so close to their cars,especially to load dive tanks or gear. The rooms themselves are NOT luxury class but adequate,modern with comfortable beds,quality sheets.Air con is very strong .Hot water pressure is weak as it seems to be solar-powered.

I stayed over 2 weeks,3 days at this lovely property.The staff -every single one-was consistently helpful,outgoing ,cheerful and courteous. The hotel has a small pier from which one can jump or climb down into crystal clear ,warm water. In that water many days I saw colorful fish;other days I saw almost none. The seabed there had mainly damaged coral and sparse vegetation.My last day I finally saw a small turtle swimming under me as I snorkeled. Serious snorkelers will want to leave the hotel to visit elsewhere around the island. There were plenty of sun beds and shade for reading by the sea,in between swims. The beachfront restaurant offered many healthy options as well as cappuccinos and lattes ,including soy. I didn't try the two other restaurants as I prepared breakfast and dinner in my room . One of the restaurants (reservations only)is reputed to be among the best in the Caribbean . It appears the hotel took great care with landscaping,and over time it will look more lush and exotic than it looks now. Wifi signal was consistently strong-even on the beach. The rooms have large balconies with chairs and table. The gym is as well equipped as any large city gym-it has everything. It appears to be open to the public,although entry is free to hotel guests. Most staff and hotel guests appeared to be from the Netherlands-which gave the hotel a delightful ,casual ,youthful European ambiance.

Restaurants are expensive. Poor tv cable channels.

Nice resort, big swimming pools, nice gym, nice room, nice staff, nice ocean view from the beach bar, enough parking space.

pillows really suck... like really... couldn't find how to adjust airco (or controller wasn't responding) restaurant (asian) is beautiful, fine service but found the food quite disappointing (and not cheap) lots of walking at this hotel haha

Rooms were spacious and clean, service was friendly, beach area is a jewel

Our experience with staff was mixed. Some were nice and some a little cold. Compared to other places we've stayed over the years I think Delfins employees could work on being a little friendlier. The staff seemed largely quite young and were working hard to service the large number of guests so maybe that was a part of the issue. The rooms we had (we had 2 different rooms) were both quite clean, a little on the small side but to be expected on an island. The shower/toilet setup in the "deluxe studio" was odd with the toilet literally in the same area as the shower. The first room we stayed was a standard studio, less expensive and a better bathroom setup. However the standard studio was at the very back of the property overlooking some small bushes and a parking lot. We don't tend to spend much time in our room when we travel so the overall views and locations worked for us. But if you want a beautiful view and the sea breeze you'll need to select a pricier room towards the front of the property.

Fantastic location right on the water. Delfins has a very nice sandy beach with lounge chairs and palm trees and umbrellas which is right on the ocean. The ocean is easy to get in and out of relative to most of Bonaire with just a little coral. No fire coral that I encountered. There are 2 swimming pools as well. I only went in one. The temp was a little warm for me but the set up was nice. The entire resort was very clean and nicely maintained. The landscaping was nicely laid out. Additionally there are a number of dining options on the property so easy to eat while you are there if you want.

service at other on site bars/restaurants was very very slow, our room had a slight musty smell. staff didn’t seem very service oriented. quieter pool has no bar service. if you’re looking for a more adults only spot this isn’t it- there is a kids pool but kids go in all pools.

great location with lovely piece of beach. brass boer was absolutely exceptional in every way.

Front desk unprofessional

Maintained decently

Stayed in December 2023

all the sun beds, furnitures,cushions and tables on the beach are very durty. cleanliness is a major problem at the beach. the sand is full of cigarettes top and beer caps. empty glass are all over the beach for a couple of days...the most disgusting beach I ever seen. Most of employees are rude and not very helpful.

lot of ameneties,the ocean is nice and the room meet our expectations....

Confusing hotel; seems nice but actual experience is quite bad when honest, new mngt has no clue about the customer journey, energy drainers everywhere, impossible to find your room/no signage on logic places (they send into the dark with big suitcase & i need to carry towels etc myself…no clue where room is… team no clue what i mean… and when i explained they all recognize… “yes signage is bad, we hear it more.”…), best foodie restaurant owner of NL having horeca here as well, not matching his top brand status at all unfortuntely (pls J Boer, decide what matches your brand, demand steps…), doors open against each other, toilets in shower all the time wet, curtains partly broken leaving light through, hot appts due to high ceilings, mostly hotel service below level you expect/lmtd sense of service, instead they folllow rules so with each question you hear no… no… no. Sad, but i hope a leader/owner will come & see what needs to be seen & teach & make the hotel grow to insightfull service iso jearing rule based no.

The sun & close to atlantis kite beach

The kitchenette (way to small to be useful) and the bathroom (silly layout). We expected a first floor balcony and got a ground floor terrace.

The beach acces, staff and food were excellent.

Stayed in May 2023

Significant construction noise, less than efficient path to the resort pool and beach (Villa 10), concrete villas with little character, kitchen could use more supplies e.g. papertowels, salt and pepper etc.

The location was great with secure covered parking. The two pools and grounds were nice.

The Cafe service and the beds. The beds are a joke for a place like this.

The BBQ and front desk.

The wifi was terrible and I could not maintain a connection on a laptop for more than a minute or two at a time. Every time I tried to send an email, it would be "disconnecting" and "reconnecting." It was a very frustrating experience and I would not recommend this property for anyone who actually needs to use the internet at any time during their stay. Although electrical outlet types A and B (the ones used in North America) are most common on Bonaire, this property exclusively uses type C (most common in Europe), which means you need to bring/buy a separate adaptor. There was also no hair dryer provided in the bathroom. The beds are not a true king size because they are two twin beds made separately with separate duvets.

The location of the property, the beach, the various pools, and multiples restaurants on the property are great and of a high quality. The kitchen in the unit is also fairly well-equipped if you want to cook, and the air conditioning and ceiling fan in the bedroom area are adequate at cooling the room.

I had arranged for airport transfer the day before. When I arrived, they weren't there. I called, and they said they would send a taxi. Waited 20 min and no taxi. Got a taxi myself from the airport. No one to check us out in the morning either. Messaged through booking.com for a receipt. They asked for an email. I sent one. Then they told me they couldn't send it to my email.

The beds were awful! We both woke with very sore lower backs.

Beautiful beach, restos, pool.
