bad news for any visitors to divi beginning Mond Oct 4...construction activity will continue in force on renovations to the casino...I suggest contacting Divi management for alternate accomodations...activity begins 8;00 and continues to about 4:30...use of pool and dock is virtually impossible without ear muffs

Thanks, Gregg. News to all of us, I guess. Off-shore management for the casino? LOL! I gather it is the timeshare side (the ones who laid out the big bucks for the contracts) who are being disrupted. What a shame.

Hi, I am a new Bonaire Talker. I just registered because I just found this wonderful site. We are coming to Bonaire on Oct. 5. Of course we are staying at the Divi. When you talk about construction starting Oct. 4 - really bad huh!! Which management should I get in touch with? The people in NC or the management at the Divi Flamingo? We have always wanted to come to this island and my daughters will be getting their open water certification. I do not want the noise of jackhammers to ruin a trip we have saved for for so long.

Welcome to BT, Bonnie! Here are some email addresses and a phone number for the Bonaire operation for you. I think contacts to both operations would be the best way to do it...North Carolina and Bonaire.

I saw Bonnie and the girls there. I was sitting in a hammock chair on the deck while the girls were getting ready for their afternoon dive/class. By the way, some divers are using the timeshare tanning dock for shore diving. Tanks are set up on the new deck. It's easier than going down to the South dock. Sue

Hi Sue, we are now home and the temp is 57 degrees and rainy - very hard to get use to after the week in Bonaire. I read that you saw us at the divi You should have yelled at us. That would have been great. We enjoyed to dive staff at the divi but were not impressed with the hotel staff. We had so much fun exploring the island and meeting people. We hope to get the chance to go back in a year or two and we want to stay in a neat little villa somewhere. AHHA dreams...

Hi, Bonnie and Sue! How is the work coming along at the Divi now? Casino construction on-going? Any progress on the dive dock? Glad to hear everyone had a nice time on Bonaire. Sorry to hear the hotel staff was not that great, tho. Maybe you should drop a note to Frits Hannenberg to let him know? Ayo. Carole

I am very surprised to hear that there was a feeling of less than extremely pleased with the staff. From Fritz and his lovely wife Jennie,on down to the cleaning people we have found the entire staff smiling and very accomdating It is really a shock to read this Were they new staff? I certainly would try to find out what is the story ??
