The Bellafonte Bonaire is 3 minutes away from the Bonaire International Airport. It’s centrally located, just a few minutes drive from Kralendijk. You can dive and snorkel right off the pier, but you’re also just a few minutes away from Bonaire’s best beaches and reefs.
We recommend renting a car in Bonaire to explore the island’s beaches and the town. Driving is easy, and a car can be rented at the airport without much trouble.

We think Bonaire is one of the absolutely best Caribbean islands for families. But if you’re still not sure if Bonaire is right to you, our overview of the ABC islands may help.
Don’t waste your time searching for rates and availability. We can handle it (and love it!), at no additional cost to you.
This is a top notch hotel with impeccable customer services. Everyone we came in contact with or communicated was outstanding. All the interns at the hotel- Ashley, Robin, Laura, Juul, the hotel manager (I will misspell her name if I try) were all phenomenal. LT, the CEO of the property, was there almost every day checking on little details to make sure everything was in tip top shape. The room was big, clean with a fridge and a microwave. The pier that takes out to the sea is one of the best features. The snorkeling just out from the pier is just about as good as it gets. We saw a sea turtle, eel, barracuda, squid and tons of other fish just snorkeling around the pier. The social hour on Thursday was a special treat to meet the residents at the time and to get to know the special people that work at the Bellafonte. I can’t recommend this hotel enough with everything they offer. I can’t think of anything they could’ve done more or better while we were there.

Our stay at The Bellefonte Bonaire couldn’t have been more perfect! From beautiful views of the water, palms, and passing sailboats to gorgeous sunsets in the evening (and an occasional colorful parrot or parakeet) all from our balcony! Rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Grounds are beautiful and well kept! And location is great with dive/snorkeling sites close by (including a private entry straight off of the private dock) and a dive shop across the street for all equipment. Great restaurants close by as well! But most of all the staff made us feel so welcomed and like we were home away from home, but in paradise! We were treated so graciously like family. And each and everyone were so kind, engaging and accommodating! Everything was perfect! Thanks for a fantastic stay!! Already planning our next visit and our stay wont be anywhere but at the Bellefonte!!!
