Hello everyone- My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Bonaire. I am still floating (quite literally, too!) but I wanted to send a quick note to help anyone who may be staying at the Divi.

Hi Bonnie! Thanks for the great tips. I am laughing so hard right now because of all of the posts regarding mosquitos. I must be a magnet! I fed a ton of mosquitos at dinner the first night because I figured I was safe after reading everyone's posts and did not put on spray. My dive buddy actually left the restaurant, went back to the hotel, and returned to the restaurant with bug spray. NO ONE else at our table got bitten. I even showed them one of the little buggers to prove I wasn't making it up. Go figure...lesson here, be on the island the same time as I am and you won't get bitten - they will all be on me! LOL. So glad you had a good trip. Hope to see pics soon.

We didnt bring our camera because the underwater housing was broken... but have no fear! I am attaching a link to a fellow diver's Snapfish photo album. The pictures of Divi both above and under the water are truly spectacular!

I forgot to mention: The Divi has a "business center" right off the lobby (convenient) with 4 computers. For a whole $3.50 an hour, you can get internet time. Unbelivable! You dont even have to dry off before walking in and sitting down. Very convenient for keeping in touch with friends or loved ones back home or getting info online.

Hmmmm.... ok I'll send them again in an email and see if it works. Gosh. The problem is that they arent my photos and it isnt my link (which means I dont have the photos downloaded onto my own computer).

Hi, Thanks for the advice/tips, my boyfriend and I will be there 9/1-9/7. Did you travel with a coffee machine or did you buy/rent one at the Divi? Was the refrigerator rented or borrowed? and if so how much. Thanks. I bought a collapsable cooler per advice from the fabulous people here on BT. Does the divi provide ice?

ICE: Yes. Machines are located throughout. Ice buckets are in the rooms
