PICTURES PLEASE???? I am begging as we begin to pack for the trip I would love to see as many pictures of the Time Share side as I can as So very much has happened in the past year . The new lounge area is very impressive but do the people on the second floor 722,723 and that area still have a view of the water???
Is the time share dock done and ready for us to give our bodies to the sun gods???
Since they took out all the trees on the time share side of the Casino are there more umbrellas? and do we have a lot less space?
Have they made any other seating arrangements for the time share side??

and place and things for us to escape the midday sun??
What has been done in the actual timeshare units??? Anything???
new counter tops ?? updated showers ?? anything??
Don't want anything to major but a new countertop and drawers would be very much appreciated.

We have 721. Our view is not disturbed by the new dive deck. I love sitting in the protected hammock chairs; time goes by real fast. The time share dock is still the same. The north dive dock is being rebuilt. There are a few dive lockers on the new deck, if you want to use them, bring a lock. I don't think we have less roon due to the larger casino. Not many changes in the units. Sue

Gregg...is it OK for me to post the casino shot? Any others? I don't want to do anything without knowledge and consent. If not, no biggie...we'll find the "old" shots Bridget posted for us.

Hang in there for a moment longer, Bev, OK?

Or, you can do a search for "Bridget's postings and see what comes back. Carole

Oh Carole Thanks a bunch at least I know I have not gone over the edge I will check out Bonnie's posts if I can find out how to do I do love the Divi and it is the friendliness of the people who stay there and the Staff is tremendous. Now that Fritz and Jennie are there things are really moving along.

Do any of the repeater at Divi know if there are new counters??

Hey, Beverly! I received a note back from Gregg Brewer letting me know it was OK to repost some of this recent Divi pics. These were taken last week and do show you the new lounge/dive shop area and the new casino extension over by the timeshare pool area very well. Gregg and I agree the expanded modification to the casino is not to our liking....preferred it the "old" way with the openness and the trees (beautiful and colorful trees filled with birds) better. Oh well.

I have resized Gregg's shots as the size was too large for posting. I hope the pics don't lose too much quality in the smaller size.

So, I hope these help you out! Thanks again Gregg!! I don't know if I can post the "tiney" shot here, tho! LOL. Ayo. Carole

gee Carole,

although it was fuzzy, it WAS the best shot

Divi recently drained the pool and repainted it...looks great

Gregg, your originals were much clearer than the reduced sized images I posted here. Maybe I can send a copy of the original Divi pics to Beverly? What do you think??

I can post the timeshare pool, too, but it will be reduced in size, as well. The smaller sized pic is not as crisp and clear as Gregg's original and much larger shot. Sorry about that! Carole

Thank you so very much I just could not find it.
I agree I miss the trees and the shade it provided and I am not there yet 19 days.
thanks a bunch for all your help

Glad to be of help, Beverly. Have a great time on Bonaire. That's a great idea about the books and then letting Renee give them to the library. She is one amazing lady! She is so busy and so well rounded. Great lady!! Please tell her Carole and Joe say Hi and we'll see her in May.

I'm still trying to find out what happened to the Bingo game hosted at the Divi...anyone know what they do now that the "open air" bar/casino area is gone?? It was quite a big event every week. Used to love to swim in the pool and watch everyone have fun playing, socializing, eating and just having a lot of fun. Carole
