Sand Dollar Condominiums offer the perfect base of operations for a diving vacation in Bonaire. Dive Friends has a branch on the property offering rental equipment, tanks, weights, snorkeling gear - everything you might need. They also offer PADI training courses with knowledgeable, highly skilled instructors. There is a fine restaurant on the property and others within walking distance. The condos are beautifully designed with excellent kitchen appliances and dinnerware provided. The unit I rented was decorated with photos and objects reflecting the natural environment of Bonaire. There are pegs on the patio wall to hang wet diving gear. The patio was screened and had perfect furnishings allowing relaxing interludes. There was a large-screen TV and the owner even provided some of the standard reference books on Caribbean marine life. I cannot imagine a better rental unit for the traveling diver -- everything was perfect!

Haven't stayed at the Sand Dollar for about 5 years but was pleasantly surprised that the whole resort seemed to be tidier and better kept. The unit we stayed in was clean, towels were fresh and generally the service was friendly and helpful. It would appear that they must have new management since I last visited and they are most definitely on top of things. We'll be back.

The Sand Dollar Condos (E9) provided us with a very pleasant stay for our first time in Bonaire. The staff were all friendly and attentive, the view from our back porch was incredible, and the dining options nearby were all delicious (Eddy's, Panino's and Doner Station, to name a few). We will definitely return to Sand Dollar when we vacation again on Bonaire.

Stayed one week March 2022 in unit D14. Fantastic experience! The condo had everything one could possibly want; from kitchen appliances/odds & ends, to a scuba related library. The large, airy, screened balcony also had a sturdy rod for hanging lots of dive gear to dry (and included numerous specialty hangers). It is a short walk to the "Dive Friends" facility and dock for boat trips or Bari Reef. Rinse tanks, showers, etc. are provided on the dock & closer to the parking lot for shore divers. The onsite pool & restaurant are also very nice.

We had a great time. The swimming area in the ocean is phenomenal for snorkeling. They do not have a swimming pool. The restaurant has very odd hours and was never open when we wanted lunch. The primary purpose for us staying there was to get our kids PADI certified and that was great they just had to walk to the dive shop. We will be back. Very few amenities but we did not miss it.

Location is perfect and the fact that it had a kitchen was a plus. The screened in porch is wonderful and quite spacious. Easily another living area!. Staff at this property is very friendly. It is an older property, and some of the units have not been update, some have. My biggest issue was the furniture was very dated and uncomfortable and the mattress was like a board. Everything was clean and that was nice.

I would like to give it a bad review just for the reason that it remains available for us. Seriously we enjoyed the stay so much. The property is not this high class 5 star resort but a privately held apartment. Not the newest, not the best, but absolutely cozy, not too loud (you barely see people even though it was fully booked). Reception is so lala. You have 3 dive sites in reach from the property. Dive shop is good too.

Great place.

We have come to Bonaire many times over the years. Sand Dollar is always our first choice of places to stay if it is available. Dive Friends Bonaire provides the the best service with I believe 6-7 locations to pick up tanks. They have a shop at the Sand Dollar so we can pick up a tank off the dock and jump in the water. It’s a great dive site too. The condos are well stocked and have maid service a couple times per week.

Excellent for Divers

This is a perfect place for divers! Right next door, is Dive Friends Bonaire, which is a great dive shop. You can use the dock right there to dive Bari Reef, which is absolutely phenomenal. There's even snorkeling right outside the door that is unreal. The studio has a fold up bed which is not the most comfortable, but the square footage was good for a studio. We had some issues with the hot water and internet but when you are on vacation in the tropics, those are not a big deal. The kitchen had all the accessories we needed and we were happy to prepare some lunches and dinners in the room. All in all, you can't beat the value of this hotel. If you are looking for a dive vacation, this is an ideal hotel!
