I knew who they were, but a lot of our members don't.

BTW, make sure you post your pics in the Bonaire Trip photo gallery.

Awesome report. Glad to hear that you all had a good time. And proud of you for recruiting international divers to the board! Yippee!

Although I know this isn't the most important feature of the dive trip, curious about the accomodations? Comfortable? Would you stay there again?

That turtle really looks like she was performing just for you.

Were you using the same camera as you had in Coz? Still without a strobe? Was the vis and scenery that much better than Coz, or do I just take really crappy pictures?

Although I know this isn't the most important feature of the dive trip, curious about the accomodations? Comfortable? Would you stay there again?

Actually the accomodations were brand new condos and apts but unfortunately they hadn't worked the plumbling kinks out in all of them as some of our divers had drain problems....and no I'm not talking about the 'pee or not to pee' thread!! LOL!!! :cool1:

Because the place was condos and timeshares the office staff did not keep regular office hours nor did they supply what most of us thought were 'basic' essentials. They did however have nice kitchens, refrigerators, and patios that worked wonderfully for our shared group happy hours or for cooking if you weren't into eating out all the time. The dive shop was on premise which was really nice but we had to drive to get to the boats so that wasn't as nice as other places that had the boat come right to the hotel's dock. We did not have a restaurant on premise but we did have one very close but it just wasn't the same. Now I'm thinking that paying a couple of hundred more would have been worth it to stay where we had better beach front access and a restaurant etc. Would we stay there again? No not as a group...would I stay there with a few friends and save some money? Probably....but only if they start supplying toilet paper!!! (Seems the reason we got such a good deal was that toilet paper, soap and wash cloths oh yes and maid service were NOT part of the package! ) :P

But seriously...they got so many complaints about not offering basic amenities that I doubt that will be a problem in the future! So we did buy toilet paper for the gang and had it available to pass out when anyone needed an extra wipe so to speak!!! :welcome:

All in all the accommodations were ok....but certainly not spectacular. I did get to check out some other resorts rooms and many were the same calibre of room and layout however they were part of a nicer resort with more amentities and therefore would have been a better choice now that I know better! Fortunately I got to do a lot of scouting out for the next trip to Bonaire! -ww
