This was our 6th stay at the Plaza, 7th to Bonaire. The Plaza is in the middle of much needed rennovations. We stayed in a one room Villa which is nice an roomy. Staff is helpful. Nice beach so if you are not a diver. Tipsy Seagull has a great "lobster night." Toucan Divers are knowledgeable and helpful. 18th Plam... more

I stayed there for the past two weeks and was so disappointed. I wished I had made other arrangements, but that's what you get sometimes when you leave it to the travel agent. The hotel makes you walk and carry your laundry and go pick it up at the front desk when it's done. The internet is unusable, virtually nonexistent,... more

Oct 27-09 We regret that this guest felt disappointed by their stay with us, but appreciate the feedback as it can only help us to improve and/or clear up any misunderstandings. Bonaire is a destination that attracts 70,000-75,000 tourists per year. The atmosphere is usually very relaxed and informal. Plaza Resort Bonaire is a four star property that caters to...

The Plaza Resort is our favorite resort on our favorite Caribbean island. We come to Bonaire often to relax, dive, and enjoy great food with friendly people. The Plaza Resort rooms are very large, clean, and excellent value for the money. Toucan Diving is on site with diving for all skill levels. Their boats, and their staff are simply outstanding.... more

I have traveled to the plaza 6 times over the years and have noticed over time that the rooms and grounds have been deteriorating. While I was there in the beginning of August about half of the rooms were closed because they are being renovated and I stayed in a room that had recently been refurbished. As always the rooms... more

Arrived in Bonaire on the Red Eye from Newark, with 9 divers, we all have been at the Plaza before. We had guaranteed early check in, or so I thought. Arrive at Plaza at 5:30 AM. Started the check in but were informed by a very flustered, and incompetent clerk that no rooms were available....Needless to say everyone in the... more

UPDATED Management Response to “Disappointing” on Aug 18/09; rated 1/5 We feel badly that a misunderstanding caused these guests inconvenience upon check-in. After a night of travel, they were understandably tired. However, our now-expired “Free Red Eye Rooms” sale was clearly advertised as ‘Subject to Availability’ – meaning that early check-in would be offered free of charge to guests who...

This was my first time in Bonaire and stayed here for a week. Has conveniences like a on site restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast place is convenient before going diving at Toucan Diving, which is also on site. Beach bar on site was the most hopping spot I've found outside of the downtown area. Beautiful sunset scene if... more

We stayed at the Plaza Resort for a week to dive through the Toucan Dive Shop. The diving experience was great; our hotel experience was not. Our first room had an electronic safe that did not work. After calling the front desk before we unpacked, it took 1 1/2 hours for maintenance to come try to fix it. After they... more

Plaza Resort Bonaire is currently refurbishing 30 grand suites (ocean view) and 32 standard suites (marina view). This update consists of installing new electrical wiring and plumbing, replacing the bath, shower, and toilet in each of these rooms, putting in new ceilings and new floors, and redecorating with completely new furniture. In 2007-2008, 64 standard suites were similarly refurbished, but...

This is not a part of the Plaza Hotel chain. The resort is very close to the airport and dock in Bonaire. They experienced storm damage recently, the beach was full of coral and very difficult to access the water and beach area. The swimming pool also wsa in terrible shape, tiles missing, the center hot tub broken and roped... more

This review was posted right after tropical storm “Omar,” which caused significant damage to our beach and buildings. During a 36 hour period, the strong waves over our beach caused over US $800,000 in damage. Much of the sand on our beach was taken by the waves and heavy rainfall that were connected to this tropical storm. We had to...

Unfortunately, the Plaza is not what it used to be when I stayed there several years ago. When you get to the lobby, you are bitten quite horrible by mosquitos. When maid service cleans your room, it is done with the door open so the mosquitos come in. I guess there is no mosquito abatement plan at the hotel. The... more

Mosquitoes and the Caribbean go together like salt and pepper, and unfortunately, like most places in the Caribbean, there are mosquitoes in Bonaire, especially during the rainy season. November, the date of this review, is right in the middle of rainy season so this guest would have noticed more mosquitoes than during our drier seasons. The heavy rainfalls during tropical...

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Plaza Resort from 2 Aug - 9 Aug and we had a blast. After getting off the plane there are people that great you with signs to help you get to your next destination. Most people speak English so you do not have troubles communicating. We stayed in a one bedroom villa with... more
