My wife and I just finished (regrettably) our 8 day stay at Bellafonte and we are very happy to recommend this hotel. The rooms are very spacious, the bedding is extremely comfortable and the staff made us feel so welcome in these trying times. Very good location, very close to downtown Kralendijk, only 5 minutes to island's best supermarkets. Excellent snorkeling and diving right off the hotel's dock, amazing sunsets and ocean views. This was our second stay at Bellafonte and we are hoping to be back again rather soon.read more

Very friendly environment - pet-friendly which was very important to me. They allowed us to stay last minute because we were experiencing an emergency situation with another place we were staying and not happy. Beautiful ocean view. Amazing waterfront chairs. Highly recommended.read more

Nice hotel. Really close to the airport. Staff was super nice. At night fishes are clearly visible. Somebody was not happy about my parking. I think was the only passive aggressive thing on the island I encountered.read more

Great waterfront property. Well maintained. Snorkle right off the dock. Easy access. Lots of fish. Beautiful accomodation. Fully equipped kitchen and fantastic view from the balcony. I understand the units are condos and you can rent the units through the management company. The units seem to be available in many sizes and configurations. Staff are great and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable. Close to the airport, restaurants, great beaches and downtown. A car would be a great asset on the very driveable island.read more

Great ocean side view hotel with luxury rooms. The service is really good and the staff is very kind. At the water side of the hotel there is a pier from where you can go swimming, diving or snorkeling, really comfortable. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant, but there's enough places nearby where to eat. Because the hotel is quite close to the Flamingo Airport, you can see the planes coming in which is an incredible site to see.read more

We had a most wonderful stay at the Bellafonte. The staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful and were attentive to our every need. Everything indoors and out was very clean and the landscaping was lovely. I loved it that part of the dock was covered so you could relax in the comfy lounges and be shaded. And it was so nice to be able to access the water directly from the dock and snorkel right there. You could even see beautiful fish from the patio area! This place is very service oriented and has thought of everything to make stays relaxed and comfortable. I don’t know when we will return to Bonaire but we wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else. Thanks to all at the Bellafonte!read more

We visited Bonaire for 2 weeks on our honeymoon and the Bellafonte was just what we were looking for. This is not a place for those looking for an all-inclusive romp or a bare-bones vacation. We stayed in the junior suite, which was private, spacious and had a spectacular view from the balcony/deck. Sitting and drinking coffee in the morning and watching the sunsets on the balcony are one of the best features of the hotel that you don't want to waste. The junior suite had a nice kitchenette, suitable for basic cooking (we made breakfast a few days and had ample room for storing snacks and drinks). It's even good enough for a private chef (like Chef Danny!). The staff are very attentive and will help with any issues have or bookings you may need. We dove with VIP and their single/shared billing was very handy. Cindy and Erta always let us know of anything going on around the grounds (they had some work being done at the time) and offered a welcoming smile every day. The rooms were very clean and housekeeping was very courteous if we happened to be around when they arrived. And of course, the private pier is very nice for lounging, snorkeling and scuba. We ended taking two dives from the pier and both were excellent and spent many dives simply wading in the area as plenty of fish hang around and are easy to spot. If you are looking for a more secluded and excellently staffed getaway on the island, this is the place for you.read more

We rented three adjacent apartments - two suites and a studio as our base for a week in Bonaire. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and well equipped; the suites had great balconies with sea views. The private pier provided simple and safe access to the sea for swimming and snorkeling. Staff were friendly and very helpful in recommending and arranging activities and restaurants that were also top quality - VIP Diving, Woodwind sailing & snorkeling and Flow for their caving adventure to name a few favourites.read more
