The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Great Dining Experience

I had several meals at the restaurant during my stay, and I was truly impressed by the quality of the food and the generous portion sizes. The ambiance was good, especially with the view of the ocean, making every meal a part of a special experience.

Spacious and Comfortable Room

Our Cottage was perfect for our group of four. It featured a living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms with two bathrooms that made our stay so comfortable. The updating of the cottages adds to their appeal, providing all the essential amenities we needed.

Relaxing Pool Area

The swimming pool area offered a amazing view of the ocean, perfect for lounging after a day of diving. I found it to be a calming space where I could unwind and recharge, although a few more tables would have been handy for games and socializing.

Diving Facilities Are Great

The dive operation was incredibly well-organized, making it extremely easy for both novice and experienced divers. Accessing the house reef was seamless, and the convenience of having gear lockers near the water made diving whenever we wanted hassle-free.

Overall, I had a wonderful time at Captain Don's Habitat. The resort provides excellent opportunities for diving and has a great view of Klein Bonaire. However, there were some cleanliness issues and inconsistency with service that could use some attention. The accommodations were comfortable, but some facilities are in need of maintenance.

Captain Don's Habitat offers excellent diving access and a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff ready to assist. While the rooms are spacious and generally clean, there are issues with housekeeping consistency and some dated facilities. The dining experience at Rum Runners has potential but suffers from slow service and cleanliness concerns. Overall, it's a solid choice for experienced divers, but improvements in various areas are needed for a more pleasant stay.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. While the resort has a lovely pool area and good dining options, there were some issues that made my experience less enjoyable. The room was fine but lacked some essentials, and the service could be quite slow at times. Overall, it’s decent, but there’s room for improvement.

I had an incredible stay at the resort, with stunning ocean views every morning and a generous breakfast that set me up for a day of diving. The diving experience was thrilling, with plenty of options for both shore and boat dives, although the rooms could use some updating. The sunsets from the oceanfront bar were mesmerizing, complemented by delicious drinks. Overall, it was a fantastic value, and I can't wait to return for more diving adventures!
