The reviews on Trip Advisor say it all- the Deep Blue View is outstanding and worthy of the 2008 Trip Advisor award. Everything you need for a perfect dive/snorkel vacation can be found at the Deep Blue View. It's true that the rooms are lovely, the dive lockers to store your gear in are convenient and the grounds are beautiful, but even more than that is the hospitality of Esther and Menno. (The dogs add a nice touch, too!)
Since the DBV only has five rooms, you get to know the other guests. It was fun to have breakfast together and discuss what dives everyone had planned for the day. The shore diving was great as were the boat dives with Menno. Don't miss the opportunity to go night diving at the pier with Esther- very exciting seeing two seahorses! The rum punch sunset trip was fun and the bbq which followed was delicious. We had a great time and look forward to returning.

Deep Blue View is a bed and breakfast that is not only wonderful but excellent. We arrived to Bonaire for the diving and can only say we were delighted with the accomodation, the other guests and instantly had the "at home feeling". This was our first trip to Bonaire and DBV was a perfect fit for us. Deep Blue View easily accomodates divers and snorkelers, with well designed lockers and rinse basins for your equipment away from the main area. We obtained the shore diving package that included a truck rental, unlimited air, sunset boat trip and Bar B Q (very nice) and stayed for two weeks. Esther's omlettes were to kill for and spoiled us. Both she and Menno are excellent seasoned divers themselves if you want a guided dive either at night or during the day. Both are very accomodating, fun to be with and make you feel right at home. There is a pool, large hammocks and the rooms are spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. The grounds are well developed with palms and assorted plants. The parking is spacious and the grounds secure. We have no hesitation in recommending DBV if you want to be away from the crowd(s). A great spot to return to after a day of diving where we had made new friends. As for the diving, well Bonaire is famous in that regard. Loved it.

The only disappointment we had was having to leave.

Would we go there again....you bet.

We have just returned from 5 days in Bonaire with Esther and Menno at Deep Blue View. The only thing to say is that their grading as Number 1 on Bonaire is no mistake - they make so much effort to make your stay with them a wonderful experience both in the villa and on the island generally. They are very friendly and you feel at home from the first minute you meet them. The dogs are also very friendly and add to the relaxed ambiance of your stay. Thanks for the great time.
