    Wished we would have stayed longer. We didn't want to leave

    We stayed in an ocean front two bedroom suite and were blown away at the view. Lovely patio outside and seating inside all with expansive view of the beautiful ocean. Quiet, clean, with lots of space and overall unbelievable experience

    Amazing Stay – Highly Recommended! I recently stayed at this hotel and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The check-in process was fast and smooth, and I immediately felt comfortable and cared for. The rooms were spotless, modern, and beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and equipped with everything I needed. I especially appreciated the attention to small details like complimentary toiletries by Rituals, a coffee station and a modern, well-stocked kitchen. What truly made the stay exceptional, though, was the atmosphere and the level of service. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure guests were happy. I felt truly valued and relaxed throughout my visit. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a memorable stay. I will definitely come back!

    The street that it’s on is extremely busy, and parking spots are tight. You really have to be careful pulling out. Also there is no gym, but we bought a guest pass at a nearby gym

    Great spot to dive or snorkel right off the pier. Very convenient

    A bathroom and shower by the pool would be nice, hotel isn’t really easy to use after checkout - facilities by pool would have been nice.

    The staff was outstanding, Boaz and Karoline were top notch! Great service, well kept place, clean and comfortable rooms and beds. Really nice to have an adult oriented quiet hotel, all the guests were outstanding Too great mix! I rarely do this but I’d say 5 stars well earned!

    I booked two Grand Suites and the level of care was different in one of the units. One was perfect and the other was not quite as clean. I would say that hotel is not quite what I would call this property, more like a condo complex with a dipping pool. The drinks and food come from the restaurant next door and sometimes the quality was so-so. Since we were more interested in eating in, this was not a huge factor.

    The property has a lovely pier that one can use to jump into the ocean to snorkel. Lots of fish visible from the pier. The suites were large and comfortable. The view of the balcony was wonderful. The kitchen was stocked well with pots and dishes for a home cooked meal. AC worked well in all rooms, and the staff was very kind and helpful. I would stay here again.

    The only thing I would have liked was a pair of slippers to wear in the room. After snorkeling and coming back with sandy feet, it would be nice to have a pair of slipper by the door to prevent tracking sand in. I had forgotten to bring my own unfortunately. They do provide nice terry cloth bathrobes.

    The location of this hotel is outstanding. We had a room on the 1st floor, corner. We walked out our double doors (one set from the living room and another set from the bedroom) onto a large covered area with comfy outdoor sofa and large dining table, and from there just a few feet directly to the water's edge where there are 2-top tables, lounge chairs, and hammock chairs. Then a few more feet to the pier where there are lounge chairs and ladder access to nice snorkeling. The rooms were clean and had everything you need. They cleaned every day except Sunday. Staff was always helpful - we called once for towels to take to the beach, and they were at our door within 30 seconds to deliver them! Staff was outside early in the morning quietly wiping down all the chairs, railings, etc to keep everything nice and clean. It was a relaxing environment, not stuffy. I usually don't like to stay at the same place twice because I like exploring new things, but in this case, we had such a great experience, we will definitely stay there again when we return to Bonaire. Highly recommend!

    This is not a standard hotel. Although you can ask for the staff to do some groceries for you, there are no eating facilities or a bar. Next door there’s a super nice small beach club with good breakfast.

    The staff of Bellafonte is super friendly. Always there to help you out. The hotel is located in front of the sea, spectacular view and very nice snorkelling spot.

    The location of our room facing the street (road) did not allow for a good night’s sleep. Traffic on the road resulted in us being awake as early as 3-4 a.m. The room fees are high compared to Aruba, Curaçao and other islands in the Caribbean facing oceanfront. Car rentals are also much more expensive.

    There was constant hammering and drilling at the hotel and continued even after complaining. The hotel is way overpriced and lots of road noise, construction noise. It is not a luxury hotel and no services are available on Sundays. Towels & sheets were not the highest quality and the beds were hard as a rock, No restaurant at the facility, and the door to the next door restaurant is always locked. They charge a month prior to your stay - Beware! There was no drinking water left at the room. They were nickle & diming for everything. Front staff are all trainees and could not make decisions on requests and had to wait till the Manager got back.

    The Room was simple and should not be listed as a Luxury hotel. Views of the water were limited.
