We are planning a trip to Bon in late Aug/Sept. Want to spend a week or so diving. This will be our first trip. Any suggestions of where to stay for a honeymoon? Preferably something romantic and private. Also, is it worth going to check out either Aruba or Curacao?

Steve, do a keyword seach using the icon at the bottom of the thread and search for "honeymoon" and you will find several discussions on that theme that should answer most of your questions.

You might want to check out BelMar if you plan on visiting Bonaire. They have a website with pictures of the grounds, rooms, and views. If memory serves me right each room has an ocean view.

I will second the vote for the Belmar. Small property, quiet. You will get lots of suggestions, there are many great places and most folks have a favorite. It depends on what type of a feel you want to your accomodations....

For our honeymoon we went to Sorobon. Don't know if that would be your thing or not, but I really can't imagine anyplace being as relaxed, romantic, peaceful, and beautiful as this place. You may just want to check it out. BTW, #30 is absolutely spectacular, sticking out into Lac Bay.

Thanks for all the help. We are in the midst of making the final decision. One thing I noticed was that none of the hotel packages offer "all inclusive". I assume that dining is not a problem on the island, however, should one try to find a place close to town so that there is more variety? How important is it to have a car?

Oops! Actually I was thinking of the beach at "Sweet Dreams." Can't think of why I would call it that... no ice cream involved either!

What is this place? Is this a place that honeymooners should know about?

Sorry Steve, actually the only place you really need to know about is "Bonaire"! Sweet Dreams is just one of the countless yellow stone-marked dive sites along the road. It's down south. We stopped there cause it has a nice little patch of sand, was beautiful (OK where's NOT?!), no one was anywhere, and the sun was dipping down. Point is-- get a car and you can find these peaceful, private little romantic spots ALL OVER!!! Personally, every day my wife and I think about how soon we can get back. It was just that nice.
