Des détails à améliorer mais un bon deal sur l'île
Magnifique localisation, certainement le meilleur resort de l'île. La formule all inclusive veut le coût, si on considère le coût moyen sur place. Bonne cuisine au restaurant. Service de nettoyage inégal et bon sens de la réception à revoir

Séjour très agréable
Ce fut un séjour très agréable, et assez tranquille. Les chambres sont immenses pour 2 personnes et aussi très grande salle de bain. Nous avions la vue sur la piscine et sur la mer qui était très jolie. Le buffet est simple mais bon. Le bar de la plage est ouvert toute la journée se qui est très agréable. Pour les activités à l'hôtel il y en a pour tout le monde, le plus sympa que nous y avons découvert est le beach tennis. L'île est vraiment superbe à visiter. La mer est très clair, superbe endroit pour snorkling et diving.

Staff, food and rooms are beautiful!! I am a scuba diver and dive shop with "Spider" and "Yousef" are the two staff divers I highly recommend. Rent a golf cart and visit the town, especially nice shore diving just south of the resort- list of shore dive sites and a freighter Himmler to dive on. Salt Pier is fun diving too.Chef made food-fantastuc. Visit Gio's I e cream shop has the greatest home made ice cream. Dark rich lactose free ice cream too. I still miss it. LOL.

One of the best vacation I've ever had. First off the pool area was gorgeous, I stayed here for 6 nights and enjoyed every sunset I could experience. My room was sea view, it was very very spacious and clean although it wasn't the newly renovated but I couldn't complain because I wake up every morning to an amazing view. The staff at the snack bar Carlos, Nigel and the other buffed dude was always nice, the restaurant staff has already recognized and address me my name after two days which shows the service here is excellent. After all it's an all inclusive restaurant and the food from breakfast, lunch and dinner did not disappoint. The property was sparkling clean, you can see how every employee works hard to keep this place beautiful. I rented a golf cart which is probably the best decision I made since the property is in the middle of everything, you go left it's the town center, you go right it's the airport and gorgeous beach. I'll be coming back soon and I'm definitely staying here again, hopefully the gym will be open by then. Kudos to all Van Der Valk employees, ya'll the best!

First time to Bonaire and stayed at this resort for a week. Overall, it was a great trip. Only downfalls were the bed wasn’t great…wasn’t a mattress, more like a 4” pad. There was construction going on in the room next door which started most mornings by 7-7:30am. The food was ok at best…ended up having the majority of our meals in town which were all delicious. On the plus side, it’s a beautiful resort and very clean…always groundskeepers out and about, security and staff were super friendly, the resort is about a 20 min walk to town. Beaches were gorgeous, snorkeling was amazing, and had an incredible time exploring the entire island!

The Plaza Resort was beautiful. Great location right on the water for fabulous snorkeling/diving. The property was clean and everything (e.g. AC, TV, WIFI, plumbing, electric/outlets, etc...,) worked properly. The hotel staff are amazing, multilingual, friendly and helpful in every aspect(it's their job to make sure you have a great stay and they take their job seriously). The all inclusive food and drinks were also high quality/top notch/very tasty (although top shelf liquor is not included). The beach and pools were clean and beautiful. Lots of things to do, activities and tours offered onsite at hotel. Airport transportation arranged through hotel. Quite simply one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at while on vacation!

Great property that is under renovation and changes. Just know that below booking. Toucan is excellent to have for onsite diving and just great all around. As for dining there is a general lab of allergen information, as almost evening just states the name of the dish, except for one small area labeled Gluten Free (3 dishes and one bread set out). For those with allergen issues you have to wait until one of the staff who cooks let's you know what is safe at each meal

It is a beautiful property, but is in the process of undergoing renovations. The room we stayed in was in the older section and while it was well maintained, it did show its age, was blandly decorated, and needed more conveniences, such as hooks and luggage racks. The balcony was beautiful and huge(room for a lounge chair or hammock-which would have been awesome had one been out there) with a lovely view of the marina.

Superb location and high standards in a quiet and peaceful environment. We very much appreciated our stay: Food and service are excellent, the dive shop (Toucan) on location is a great plus, and the House Reef is beautiful / a pretty unique advantage of this place. It's a quiet place (discrete background music at the bar/restaurant/pool) and I hope they preserve the quiet nature of this resort.

No help with luggage after check-in. The parking lot is a fair distance from the rooms and we had bulky dive bags that had to be lugged upstairs. Safe battery immediately died, but they were too busy to fix it. I had to go to the desk to get master key. The A/C isn't strong enough for the room. Can't close bathroom windows.Everything is a hike from the rooms. All in different directions. Only one restaurant, and it has no breeze. Breakfast was good. The bread is great. One bar, at the pool and the staff is horrible and slow. They made horrible drinks. The dive op, Toucan Diving, packs too many divers on boats that aren't really set up for diving. Oh, and we got diarrhea and COVID. We won't go back.

Smoking/vaping around the pool, little children go to the bathroom in the pool not wearing pampers, uncaring staff/language barrier, no gym and minimal/low level classes, no shuttle to town (taxis expensive), lack of activities, and construction noise. Positive: Restaurant staff and food, location, safe, snorkeling on site, drinks and pool. Bring a snorkel mask from home, as they charge $10 a day. We would NOT return.

There were guests that were helping cleaning the area up because there was only 2 people working while all the rooms were totally filled up. There was not even places for us to book another room that we wanted. That was very disappointing and not great at all for the staff that are working in the heating sun.

Resort is renovating and building a new lobby, reception area which will be beautiful. No noise heard from renovations. Excellent snorkeling & diving from the shore. Bring go pro or underwater camera- amazing marine life One of our rooms had significant mold in the closet, beach towels only at reception, so walking back & forth was annoying, especially when they frequently ran out of towels. Front desk could care less Beach is small, rocky upon entry and coral close to shore; water shoes needed Staff in general are not overly friendly, especially as Americans & especially if not diving, drinking a lot or tipping. The managers of beach bar & the 1 restaurant are very nice & helpful, but beach bar very short staffed so long waits for drinks & food at beach bar was limited & regularly out of stock. Only 1 restaurant which was okay, but 1 night was a la carte with only 2 choices, neither of which were good. Guests should not only have been notified, but should not have to go out to eat at an all-inclusive! Simply have some pasta & marinara or pizza or sandwich/salad bar on those nights.

Great trip to Bonaire
Our stay at the Plaza Beach and Dive Resort was overall really good. We have been to the resort before and there have been significant updates to the resort itself. The room we stayed in however, had not been updated. The room itself was extremely large, which made it difficult for the small AC unit to cool the room to our liking. After speaking to other guests, this seemed to be a common issue in their rooms as well. The diving and snorkeling off the beach at this resort is awesome, although it is in the "red" zone due to coral disease. However, we saw different varieties of fish, turtles, an eagle ray, and octopi. Service was really good and the food at the daily buffet was plentiful.

The resort has great access to the water for snorkeling or diving. The pool is well laid out and clean. They spray for bugs which keeps the areas misquito free - yet thaere are no unpleasant smells. There are spots on the walkways that are chipped and covers that are missing. The layout of the restaurant is such that some of the tables do not get the through breeze and so are uncomfortably hot.

I like that this property is small, easy to navigate, all employees were friendly, helpful, courteous, kind and knowledgeable. The food was quite good, and the theme nights fun. Even though it was fully booked, it didn't feel overcrowded. Our room was very comfortable and we liked the location on the second floor with a pool/ocean view. The pool is beautiful and I like that there is not any chlorine in it. I appreciated the filtered tasty water and the water bottle. The only improvement for me would be fresh brewed coffee, not a fan of instant or the specialty coffee machine. We were able to walk to town and enjoy some local fare and support the local businesses. Plaza Beach could use a boutique for some shopping for me. I look forward to returning to this resort and bringing more friends with us. I saw that they really treated the divers well and was impressed by this. Having 18th Palm site here was also a plus for me as I am an avid snorkeler and I love being able to walk right in from the beach to snorkel when I feel like it. The outside Palm bar was fun and run well. The property is well taken care and was evident every morning. So keep moving forward with the plans for the future and we will gladly come back. Thank you again for the hospitality, We Love Bonaire.

This hotel is the definition of serenity. The view from the ocean side rooms looks like a postcard. The facility isn't glitzy and overly fancy but absolutely perfect for a charming, relaxing stay. The grounds are big enough to get exercise but small enough to easily find your way around. There is a beach large enough to accommodate all guests. We never had an issue finding a chair or sunbed. Swim shoes are a necessity!! The water is calm and beautiful but very rocky. The hotel and is quiet and safe. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Definitely not a party hotel. Most guests are 50 which was perfect for our demographic. The staff is multilingual. Many guests speak Dutch. Its a 20 minute walk into town. We felt absolutely safe making that trek. The food was very good. They had a variety of offerings at every meal. The restaurant staff was wonderful. I highly recommend spending your vacation at this charming, relaxing hotel.

The hotel is undergoing construction in various areas, especially at the pool, which was of often noisy at the pool. Other than diving, there is not much to do.

Conveniently located. Was there primarily to dive. The buffet meals were a plus not having to worry about parking downtown and looking for a place to eat. Used the onsite dive center to rinse equipment and hang gear. Food option was limited, but again, only there for diving. The walls could have better insulation to minimize noise. Once all remodeling is done and repairs made, should be back on top of places to stay in Bonaire.
