I am planning a trip end of July and have reserved with sand$.I have never been to Bonaire before and I am limited by guidebooks and your BT pots.It seems some people have had problems at this resort??Its not too late for me to find other accomodations if these are inadequate?I am not a diver-snorkeler and plan on adventurously exploring the entire island via rental car.ANY advice would be most helpful.The package I reserved includes car and breakfast daily.I know many people have responded to similiar posts and say no place is bad but this is probably the only vacation I will have for awhile(Im a stressed teacher!).

Abby, You will have a great time at Sand Dollar. Some people might say were partial because we own a unit there, but Sand Dollar is a very nice place. Joan is a NYC special education teacher and we go there for stress relief ourselves. Please feel free to call us with any questions. BTW, when will you be there?

Happy Hour is every day at Mango's (Sand Dollar's restaurant), 6-7pm; fancy folks up north may go to "stress management" lessons--we go to happy hour. It works. It also doesn't hurt that it's sunny & breezy every day-a great stress releiver too.

Abby -- you're going to love Sand Dollar, and the diving in Bonaire. I was there for 7 days back in January, and am going again for 2 whole months in October-November. The people are very friendly, the accommodations are excellent, and the diving is world class. The atmosphere is laid-back, so it's a great place to unwind, and let yourself be pampered.

Dave, I rub it in for the same reasons dogs lick...well, you know. And kk's are always welcome; it's not like we have fresh ones to compare them to-how will we know they're 2+ days old? I wonder if you can freeze them?
