I am trying to plan a budget for our trip. Can any of you regulars tell me about how much is enough? I was thinking around 3000.00 for the whole trip (room, diving, food and souvenirs). Should I try and budget a little more in?

Is that for 1 person or 2? Seems high for 1 person. My wife and I are going on our first trip soon and so far airfare, hotel, rental truck, and dive package is going to be around $2600.

My wife and I just returned on Saturday. We stayed at Den Laman (LOVED IT!) and spent just about 2700. This did not include any food, truck, boat dives(we didn't do any) or souvenirs. Airfare was on AA from Phoenix. We also had an extra night as we flew in Friday night and flew home on Saturday.

So, figure about $670 PP for air (midweek, AA via SJU, w/taxes). Together that is $1340.

FWIW, I started with a seven day trip to Bonaire. Then two weeks. Then 17 or 18 days. And now I am at three weeks.

Welcome to BT Theresa from another west coaster. I'm a little farther north but we seem to be growing in numbers here. When are you going? We are doing AA out of LAX to San Juan and Bonaire in August.

Thank-you Rose & Jerry. My best friend and I will be in Bonaire from May 25th to June 1st and I am soooo excited. Unfortunately we have a 3 hour layover in New York/New Jersey on our way there.
