Looking to book Divi Flamingo thru Expedia. 9 nights with air from San Fran for $990/ person! This seems like a really good deal. I have seen that the breakfast option is popular. Can this be purchased upon arrival? It is not listed as a add-on in Expedia.

I would tell you to wait on the breakfast option. Typically it's the same price if you purchase them every day, I mean what's the point if you don't save money.

No you do not need a passport but do need a birth certificate with a raised seal. The recommendation is to get one anyway as a passport is much less hassle, good for 10 years and works as a valid ID for airports. If you have the time get one, they are great to have.

I noticed that coming through Miami immigrations and customs last week went much quicker for us folks with passports. I tried to not pick lines if I saw people with birth certificates and drivers licences. They seemed to scrutinize them more.

I just got back from staying at the Divi Flamingo 7/19-7/26 and I have to say apart form our rooms, everything was good. The resturants are overpriced (like most resorts) A hot breakfast is $10.95 and a cold is $7.95. We did not go for this so we walked into town. I can say that if you go out the side gate town is a 6 minute walk, stay on the water side and when you come to a small pavilion type area (vegetable stand) City Cafe http://www.bonairedining.com/guide/restaurants/citycafe.html is on your right. Eat here, great place. the breakfast menue starts at $2.95 and goes up to $9.95 <~~~ The Big American Breakfast (way huge!) Also if you cut down main street by one of the Dive shops is The Seahorse Cafe. You can get an omlet there for $4.00.

The garlic shrimp and the tomato basil soup are incredible at Chez Lucille's!! That is a must to place for us as well.

We never made it to the Lost Penguin in June when we were there, they always seemed to be closed. But from what I've seen posted their breakfasts are also great. If you are not big breakfast eaters, rent one of Divi's small fridge's and keep some milk, cereal, pastries, snacks, or whatever in it. It will be a lot cheaper than paying full pop for a light breakfast.
