We will be heading to Bonaire on July 1st and staying at the Divi for 10 nights; this will be our first trip to Bonaire. We too purchased the "777 special" however, decided to add on three additional nights.

Divi has done a complete renovation on the ocean front rooms and the hotel part of the resort. The ChibiChibi restaurant and the Calabasas buffet both serve good food. There are many restaurants nearby to eat at also.

Hello Susanne and welcome! I love the Divi, we are staying there again in November. We have an oceanfront deluxe room, and love it. The food there is good and it's a short walk to downtown. The house reef is great and easy diving too.

Those of you utilizing the dive package at the Divi, did any of you rent a car also? In order to get the most out of our trip, is having a car a must?

Susanne, you can reserve a car through Great Southern in advance. If you decide you want a car, I highly recommend you do, because it's getting harder and harder to find available cars on the spot if you don't have a reservation. Especially if you want a truck to use for shorediving.

Marc's been humble as well - his real job (when he's not on BT) as of a couple of weeks ago is working for AB Carrental as the reservations manager (did I get that right, Marc?) - so he would definitely know about last minute availability issues. :-)

Congrats, Marc! Joe and I will be picking up the White Toyota RAV 4 on May 24th at the airport! Hope to see you while we are on Bonaire. Ayo. Carole

Really Carole? I don't see a reservation for you...

Susanne - We have a group going to the Divi July 5 - 12. Look for people wearing a "Wet Soots" shirt (or other marked clothing) and ask for Jeff (that's me!). Maybe we'll see you on one of the boats.

The timeshare side has full kitchens (no dishwasher or microwave, tho) but the hotel side does not have a fridge unless requested and available. There is a charge for the mini fridge, but I don't know the rate offhand. Good luck! We arrive on the timeshare side tomorrow. Carole
