We just got back from Bonaire and was pleasantly surprised that the Divi had just installed their wireless network and it worked flawlessly while we were there. Still restricted to a hot spot which is the center of the property but surely was great to have easy access to email.

Is it free also?
Had to pay a fee per minute for a super slow connection in April.

Yes it is free - Pretty quick connection although not as fast as the states. I was ready to pay for the "internet Card" and the girl informed me that they just installed the wireless the day before and to try it first before buying the card. I had no issues while I was there. The furthest you could get a connection was Chibi Chibi - It was weak there and would drop from time to time. I would go sit at the activity center or where they have the breakfast buffet and had no problems.

Great news, thanks! Can't wait, it's our first trip to Bonaire, and it's still over 4 months away. Wish we were leaving tomorrow....

Have fun! Just an FYI - Their is a dive master there named Lutty that unfortunately does not work everyday. We have nicknamed him "Bonaire's Zoo Keeper" Name anything you want to see and Lutty will find it for you. I swear he has frog fish, sea horses, etc on bunigie cords!

Mark, Lutty is a personal friend of mine. He has even been up to my house in the states to stay. I could not agree with you more. If there is a frog fish or scorpian fish to be found out there, Lutty will find it. He is also one hell of a cook, besides all his other talents, which include: languages, jewelry, dancing, world knowledge, Bonairean culture, etc. He is a Renaissance Man for sure. He now also has South Philadelphia knowledge after spending an afternoon with me in the Italian Market. LOL
