Hi everyone,
I am planing a dive trip in Sept. '05 to Bonaire. I have contacted several places for quotes with quick responses, with the exception of BelMar. Anyone know if they send quotes via email?

BelMar is one of the 4 places we have chosen stay, but need to know if they send quotes.

Thanks all.

Yes they do. They will send you an email with an invoice and instructions on making a deposit.

Ronnie, yes, Susan is correct. I found however, that they did not respond quickly when I had questions, etc. It usually took a few days before I got a response. They will also break things down for you per person. We got the accommodations, dive and car rental package. We loved the place.

The only negative was waiting in the long line at AB car rental when we got to Bonaire. It seems that they must have the market on most packages...no one else had people renting from them (that we could see). Didn't bother me, however, my other half was VERY cranky and tired after the long trip (we have witnesses...LOL)...next time we will rent with someone else. We've used Budget before, and were happy with them

Thanks for your replies.

I sent my email over a week ago; I'll wait a little longer to see what they have to offer. The others sent me a quote like you stated: "They will send you an email with an invoice and instructions on making a deposit."

Thanks again

Ronnie, you may want to send them a "reminder" email. I had to do that a couple of times as well. I think that Maron (sp) was the one that I ended up working with when the management shift took place a few months ago.

Here is my trip report with pics of Belmar

I sent Manon an e-mail regarding a change in the dates of our trip Thursday night and she got back to me the next day. I used the link at the bottom of their web page http://www.belmar-bonaire.com.

We love the place, have stayed there several times.

Hey everyone,
Got an email today from, Henriette at 'BelMar'.

Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know where we select to stay, and the reasons.

Thanks again,
Ronnie
