Captain Don's Habitat

Scuba Diving is the best here!

Great experience at captain dons. One issue with service in the restaurant. Didn’t have anyone come over to us for quite some time. Things happen. Not meant for a bad review. Just to point out so it can be addressed. Other than that, it was great.

This was our third stay at Captain Don's, we loved it as much as the first time, in 1998. We were upgraded to the deluxe oceanfront suite, great view, large room. 2 pools at the resort. Staff helped us with car rental options after the place we reserved with had no cars. We enjoy being in the quieter area away from town. Having a car is needed if you want to explore the island (which you definitely should) but, if you don't have a car, there's a supermarket and some restaurants walkable to the resort. Onsite dining and bar at the resort as well. Bar bites and pizza on site in addition to the full restaurant. The reef to the right was good for snorkeling, plus 2 resident tarpon had out under the restaurant.

Great setting on the water for easy access for diving and snorkeling.

The hotel was clean and in such a great area. Could snorkel right off the property and walk to some great restaurants, although they have a great one onsite too. Nice gift shop on site along with bar and restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. No beach but we were there to snorkel. I wish I would have done more research as there are some other great snorkel sites I wish I could have gone to.

Very basic. Mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker. No dishes or cutlery. Restaurant on property only offers breakfast buffet daily. No option to order anything off a menu. 20$US ROOMS are somewhat tired , bed frames were nicked, floor tiles had many “ divots”, housekeeping was good some days. Diving and snorkeling are very good. Really is a divers destination

We loved it.

The staff were outstanding, the room spacious and the beds firm. Wonderful!

Stepping out of my car and have my room just a few meter ahead.

We paid hotel taxes through Expedia when we booked our room. When we got to the airport, we were stopped by two men that told us that we had to pay a tax at the airport. I ask what the tax was for and they said because people that stay in condominiums don’t pay the hotel tax so Everybody has to pay it. I told them I could show them where I had paid the hotel tax but they charged us $150 anyway before they were even let us enter the airport. We had to charge it on our charge card and this is out rages to have to pay the hotel tax twice I would like somebody to call me about this. My number is 361-758-2028 and my email is. Bfarrier@yahoo.com. The hotel was nice and we got the room we want it. They took a $500 deposit on our charge card as soon as we got there . we had to leave at 4 AM on the 29th so we were told to come back at 5 o’clock on the 28th and take care of our bill. They told us we owe $259. I said take it out of our $500 deposit and they say they would, but checking my credit card statement but they charged us the $259 on our charge card anyway.

Stuff very friendly . Location is beautiful . It is a no frills 3 star hotel, but it is facing the sea , views are spectacular . Restaurant on site or 5 min drive . Reef is to die for next to the shore for snorkeling

Prachtig huis rif, magische zonsondergangen! Mooie tuin en heerlijk zwembad gedeelte. Vriendelijk personeel en Amerikaanse service. Elke dag schoonmaak, handdoeken wissel en badhanddoeken wissel.

Captain Don’s was ideal in every way: clean rooms, fantastic dive staff, perfect location. Perfect place to stay for divers. We will be back!

Great resort. Both dive shops were extremely helpful. The house reef is on of the best on Bonaire. Will stay there again.

Need more comfortable mattresses

Goede service

No help from hotel staff when needing a buddy for freediving. Overall staff experience was very bad. Cleaning was not done even on days when I was all morning away from hotek until 14. Shame, because place has potential. Swimming pool and rooms are nice on the new side. You can go swimming to the sea in front of hotel and do snorkeling a bit. City center and restaurants are quite far so better suited for guests with a car.

Great place to stay, convenient, great restaurant / bar options, nice staff, and rooms were clean - the only issue I had was the bed was pretty hard, and we struggled finding parking inside the lot when they had an on-site event, although there's street parking as well.

My first time visiting Captain Don's and I can’t wait to go back. If you love diving whenever you want this is the place. The updated rooms are fantastic with good amenities and great housekeeping staff. Captain Don’s truly is diving freedom and I can’t wait to go back.

Service in general was very good ! Nice Restaurant with a very good service !
