We've stayed at Captain Don's Habitat many times over the years. But note, this exists mostly for Scuba divers and serious snorkelers. They operate several dive boats throughout the day, and the dive team is first class! For those purposes, it is excellent. Great breakfasts, lunches, and superb dinners, so you don't need to head into Bonaire town for anything, but if you do, it's about 15 minutes away by car/taxi. The staff are helpful and responsive.

For it's purpose, there's nothing to not like!

Everything was fantastic, from the room to the dive operations - we really had a great time. Their dive staff were really awesome. I especially like how they do several single tank boat dives a day. You simply sign up on the marker board for which boats you want to go out on. You can also just grab some tanks and head out on a shore dive whenever you want. Would definitely recommend.

There wasn't anything we didn't like. It was a really great operation.

It was clean and convenient for snorkeling

There was no place comfortable to sit in the shade by the sea Our poolside room had very meager fittings for eating - had to sit on the couch I’d prefer a window or sliding door with screens to bring locked in with only AC Fir a five resort there were no hoses available near the rooms for rinsing snorkel gear or bathing suits

Familiar with the property from another time . Most staff were pleasant. Pools and accommodations were clean and comfortable .Family very happy to snorkel & Dive on site

Access to town . Relied heavily on taxis . Surprised you don’t have a free shuttle to the airport for your guests . Not informed of excursions available unless asked . Breakfast at Rum Runners was a gamble . Didn’t replenish when needed. Had to look for utensils/ napkins.

Beautiful location directly at the sea with very nice well maintained gardens. Diving either directly from the dock or from one of many boats in dive sites nearby.

The RumRunners restaurant is very good in upmarket expensive high quality food and drinks. However, it’s a little mismatch to the kind of easy going less posh more down to earth divers staying at the hotel.

Location, quiet pool location with many large umbrellas for sun protection just steps from our room. Grocery store was a short 5-8 minute walk away. Staff was very friendly. The diving was excellent! Great staff and dive leaders. Nice small dive groups and great access to house reef which was great!

The one restaurant was expensive!

Access to diving & snorkeling. Pool and accommodations very nice. Staff was friendly

Location to downtown . Needed to take taxis . Would recommend renting a car. Also restaurant on premise was not so organized for breakfast. Did not always refill buffet ./utensils. We also booked tours on line before we arrived. No lnformation in rooms . Had pamphlets in back of the lobby.

The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The location is good and of course the diving operation offers unparalleled freedom. The house reef was worthwhile. The restaurant was tasty and the staff there was super pleasant as well.

Our room was right next to the dive shop and was in need of updating. However, we had been upgraded to an oceanfront room for free, and we would most likely have had a renovated room if we’d staying in the garden view room we originally booked. So it was a trade-off.

Excellent location for diving with own house reef for shore diving and lots of options for boat diving. The diving facilities are first rate. The staff are all knowledgeable and friendly. The on-site restaurant, Rum Runners, is also an excellent venue for breakfast and dinner.

Great location and improved comfort in newly built extension of accommodation. Great staff in general ( unfortunately with some bad exceptions 🙁)

Seemingly less focus on divers than before.
