I am narrowing down our selection to lighthouse beach resort because of the reasonable price, sandy beach area and pool. It seems that the qualities of the few places I have seen advertised vary a lot. I also read in an earlier message that you don't want a place right next to the pool because there is no privacy. Is there any general site where you can find out which of the condos are available along with photos to compare them or are they all rented through various places requiring a hunt. Does anyone have favorites?

We have friends that stay at LBR 13 every year and are very happy with it. We have visited the condo often and it is very nice and has lots of extras. It is not on the water or pool.

Hi John, The snorkeling is not the best on Bonaire, but fair. Enter at the far left side of LBR towards the south end and go left. Shallow snorkel then gets deeper. The snorkeling is best in the summer or early fall months. Clarity is not so good on the beach end. Now, snorkeling is much better further south at Red Beryl. Enter and go to your right. Lots of stuff to see, one of my fav snorkel spots and now there is an easier entry by Red Beryl North a new site inbetween Red Beryl and Margate. Great dive too! One of the best either snorkel or dive site in MHO! Hmmm, experienced snorkelers, it is great fun to go to La Dania's Leap and jump off there and then snorkel down to Karpata too! You can do it shallow or on the reef's edge, doesn't matter it's a nice snorkel and dive too on the north side! I really don't do much snorkeling at LBR as there are so many more better sites to snorkel at, but you can do it there, just not that good and you said good sites.

We had different friends than those I mentioned before stay in another unit at LBR that was not well furnished and very bare bones. They were not happy.

My brother and I also own poolside. Privacy has never been an issue. (Hi Debbie and Pete!) Debbie is right about some better site for snorkling. As a diver who loves the grubbing around in the shallow sandy areas, I enjoy LBR. Don't overlook the tide pools around the area. They are filled with a lot of critters. Dusk brings on "moray madness". Enjoy!

Hi, I will be on arriving on Bonaire Aug 19 and will be staying for 9 days at LBR #7. Can anyone tell me is this unit beachfront, and is the snorkeling good in that area? I am a diver, however my travel companion is not. We are looking forward to coming to Bonaire for a long time. Any extra info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ~ Marc
