Great Place to Stay for Divers!

We had a wonderful stay at A1! The closeness to Dive Friend, and the private dock was the major reason for us to stay here. We really enjoyed staying here, where everything was very clean and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!

Great View

We enjoyed the space this condo provides. The furnishings in the bedroom are nice but the mattress is due for replacement. The wall hangings could use improvements like some fish photos, for example. We loved hanging out on the screened porch and watching the sunsets, swimming, diving and snorkeling in front of the Sand Dollar condo grounds. We had an issue with the WiFi when we first arrived and had to reset the router 2 times but after the last reset it worked fine. We have stayed on the second floor of the A building previous to this visit and the compressor from the dive shop was rather loud. My partner and I were quite surprised that it was quieter in A1 than on the second floor. In fact, the week we stayed at Sand Dollar was wonderfully quiet. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great for serious divers

The location is amazing. Wake up to a beautiful ocean view from bed. Best sunsets right from the unit or just a short walk out to the seating area at the seawall. So convenient to Dive Friends next door for shore dive launching point or boat dives from the dock right there. We spent 2 weeks here and felt very comfortable. The unit itself, yes it is dated. Mostly looks original. Everything worked great though. We had every utensil and item we needed. The bedroom and living room have nice decor. It had had some painting etc done to keep it cozy and tropical feeling. The price is quite nice too! Compared to similar properties/locations- can't really beat it. Pierre was excellent and made check-in/out very easy. Thank you!

Steps from Bari Reef and great local restaurants.

Quiet, cozy, ground floor. Large screened porch with ocean view. Glass doors that can be opened up from living room and bedroom to porch. Just steps away from dive shop, gear room, air fills. Dive Bari Reef right off the dock! Sand Dollar Resort has the longest stretch of ocean frontage on the island. Breezes & Bites is right next door. Their talented chef offers wonderful food and one of the best rib eye steaks I’ve had annywhere. Walking distance to a number of shops, including drug store, icecream shop, gifts, and several other great restaurants. This condo has been our favorite spot to stay the last several times we’ve been to the island.

A little rundown

We only stayed one night because when we came back from dinner there were two giant cockroaches. Not a great value for the $. No swimming pool, no closet to hang clothes and only a tiny wicker four drawer dresser that would not have held all of our clothes. The location was great, but we just didn’t want to deal with cockroaches

Great location! But needs a bit of TLC

The location was perfect right next to the dive center and the diving pier. The condo needs renovation and more space for storage. We kept our clothes in our luggage as there was no storage for them. Everything worked properly (air conditioning, fridge and other appliances). The manager answered our text messages very quickly. We would go back anytime

Great condo right on the ocean

Very nice unit with large screened in porch and a view of the ocean. Comfortably furnished, and a well-equipped kitchen. Free off street parking. Best of all, there was very nice snorkeling both left and right, right out your door. Greg and the property manager made sure we had an easy check in & out process. Would definitely book this place again.

Just returned from a wonderful stay in Sand dollar 1a. Although the property is dated, it was just what we needed. We loved being just a few steps from the dock to Dive Bari Reef and to the dive shop as well. The bed was comfortable and the air in both the bedroom and den cooled things off when needed. We had plenty of room and the large screened in porch had plenty of hooks for drying wet bathing suits and rash guards. We left our other gear in the drying room at the nearby Dive Friends. I would stay here again.

This unit has absolutely the BEST location for diving if you’re staying at Sandollar Complex. The unit had coolers, chairs, even a beach umbrella for your stay! This unit also had more basic kitchen supplies than any other unit we have ever stayed in. The unit is dated, and it would be nice if it was renovated, but it serves all of your diving needs, with THE closest location to the dock at DenLaman 😊

Perfect spot for scuba divers!!!

The communication between the property owner and property manager with me was excellent. The downstairs room provided all the necessary cooking and cleaning utensils needed for a stay. It’s like you’re in your extended home. The kitchen is nice size w a bar and four chairs there’s a small table with four chairs. The patio area is larger than most of the ones on the property it has plenty of room for hanging your wet clothes BCD‘s and all scuba diving equipment. You are less than a one minute walk from Dive friends scuba diving shop. The pier is a one minute walk. The Bari reef is in front of the condo and is one minute from your back door. Easy entry and exit at the pier and a place to rinse gear and shower off afterwards. The room has a firm mattress but comfortable. glass entryway on the ocean view side of the room in the bedroom and the living room. The living room has a pull out couch for another couple or kids. There’s also a cot in the small bonus room/closet. There is a safe to keep valuables. There’s an air conditioner in the bedroom with a door that you can keep closed so you can cool off the room before going to bed. There is also a larger air conditioner in the living room. I kept my front door open when I was there and there’s a window on the front door that you can open up that has screen in case the bugs are bad and the whole patio area is completely screened in. I will definitely stay in unit A-1 again.

The best location I have ever visited

The property is not fancy, and after staying at -much- more expensive places, I was initially a bit concerned, but within a few hours I realized that I had landed in heaven. All the essentials were there: Clean, air conditioning in the main room and bedroom, comfortable bed and couch, covered patio, full sized fridge/freezer and 9 foot ceilings (I am tall and cannot bear the standard 8 feet). And the location...OMG: It is 65 steps from the front door to private beach access with the best snorkeling I have ever enjoyed, it was like swimming in an overstocked aquarium. And if you prefer diving to snorkeling, there is a Dive shop right next door. Right next to the private beach is good restaurant right on the water with availability every night. At just $20 for fresh mahi-mahi dinner, why cook? Note: It is not loud, they close at 9pm and there is a gate with key-code entry separating the properties. There are lounge chairs setup overlooking the ocean that anyone can use to enjoy the sunset or night sky. Excellent Italian ice-cream shop ~5 minutes walk away Good supermarket 1/2 mile down the road. Safe, quiet gated community with easy parking 50 feet from the apartment. The property manager and owner were both very responsive and a pleasure to work with. This was the best vacation that I have enjoyed in over 20 years. Zero stress, everything available in one spot, and I with such great snorkeling that I dropped my weight a full belt size.

Great location for divers and Beautiful view for non divers

I took a diving course with Dive Friends of Bonaire and this unit was within 100 feet of their Sand Dollar Dive shop and school. We ate most of our meals in the unit with the use of the fully furnished kitchen. The host went above and beyond in accommodating us with schedule changes due to the Covid epidemic and always was quick in answering our emails. We would gladly stay here again.
