Our unit was clean and very well stocked daily essentials. The screened porch was a blessing and we were right next to the dive shop and diving pier. It was a great stay!

The Sand Dollar Condos (E9) provided us with a very pleasant stay for our first time in Bonaire. The staff were all friendly and attentive, the view from our back porch was incredible, and the dining options nearby were all delicious (Eddy's, Panino's and Doner Station, to name a few). We will definitely return to Sand Dollar when we vacation again on Bonaire.

No washer,dryer on site but nearby public exists. Easy walk into the water, plenty of fish and coral within reach just by snorkeling. Bar and restraunt very close as well as scuba business that is easy to work with.

Sand Dollar was the perfect place to stay for our dive-focused vacation. First off - the grounds and beach-front property are just beautiful. The condos are located adjacent to Dive Friends scuba shop and a cute, water-front restaurant. A small beach and dive pier are conveniently located next to the resort and the Bari reef is just beautiful for snorkeling or diving. If diving with Dive Friends, the boat will pick you up right at the pier for boat dives. While we were not aware of it initially, there is also a pool for Sand Dollar guests associated with Eddy's restaurant (which is amazing by the way - we went twice for food!). There are also tennis courts as well. The room we were in was well-stocked, clean and comfortable. There is construction going on currently (for the parking lot), but this never disrupted our stay. Even if you are not diving, the condos are conveniently located to the downtown area, surrounded by lots of good shops and restaurants, and is positioned for easy access when driving towards the north end of the island. We would 100% return....and plan to!

Haven't stayed at the Sand Dollar for about 5 years but was pleasantly surprised that the whole resort seemed to be tidier and better kept. The unit we stayed in was clean, towels were fresh and generally the service was friendly and helpful. It would appear that they must have new management since I last visited and they are most definitely on top of things. We'll be back.

Disappointed

This condo complex is about 40-50 years old and it looks it. When we arrived (late November), the timing was not considered "High season". The weeds around the building and all over the property were 12" to 18" tall, concrete is broken, parking lots was mud and pot holes. The whole property needs a face lift.

A very nice place to stay on Bonaire

This is not the newest and most modern resort on Bonaire, but it is very clean, well kept up, quiet, and has excellent snorkeling right in front of the property. There are a number of good restaurants within an easy walking distance. The unit we booked (a 1 bedroom) was much larger than we expected - an unexpected pleasant surprise. Everything you need is included in the unit, plates, silverware, glasses, pots/pans, coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, and stove. In the bathroom, there is a hair dryer (important for my wife). The unit also has a very nice screened in lanai to enjoy the sunset. The unit was cleaned once during our week stay (which was communicated at booking). Communications was excellent, staff were pleasant to work with and very helpful. It's only about a 5 minute drive to downtown, 10-12 to the airport, and convenient to a number of well recommended snorkeling and dive spots. There are4 two dive shops very close by.

Sand Dollar Condominiums offer the perfect base of operations for a diving vacation in Bonaire. Dive Friends has a branch on the property offering rental equipment, tanks, weights, snorkeling gear - everything you might need. They also offer PADI training courses with knowledgeable, highly skilled instructors. There is a fine restaurant on the property and others within walking distance. The condos are beautifully designed with excellent kitchen appliances and dinnerware provided. The unit I rented was decorated with photos and objects reflecting the natural environment of Bonaire. There are pegs on the patio wall to hang wet diving gear. The patio was screened and had perfect furnishings allowing relaxing interludes. There was a large-screen TV and the owner even provided some of the standard reference books on Caribbean marine life. I cannot imagine a better rental unit for the traveling diver -- everything was perfect!

Ligging van het hotel is erg goed, de staf was bijzonder vriendelijk en hulpvaardig, heerlijk kunnen zwemmen en snorkelen. Minder leuk: lawaaiig constructiewerk voor de deur en lawaaiig renovatiewerk van het appartement boven ons. We kregen zonder enig probleem een andere kamer, maar ook daar was er vervelend geboor en getimmer. Jammer, want het hotel zelf is fantastisch.

Good choice, particularly for scuba divers.

The units are clean, spacy, and have all ammenities which one would expect, including a well-equipped kitchen. A few steps from the ocean, this is a no-nonsense accomodation, which caters primarily to scuba divers. Recommended.

Stayed one week March 2022 in unit D14. Fantastic experience! The condo had everything one could possibly want; from kitchen appliances/odds & ends, to a scuba related library. The large, airy, screened balcony also had a sturdy rod for hanging lots of dive gear to dry (and included numerous specialty hangers). It is a short walk to the "Dive Friends" facility and dock for boat trips or Bari Reef. Rinse tanks, showers, etc. are provided on the dock & closer to the parking lot for shore divers. The onsite pool & restaurant are also very nice.

We had a great time. The swimming area in the ocean is phenomenal for snorkeling. They do not have a swimming pool. The restaurant has very odd hours and was never open when we wanted lunch. The primary purpose for us staying there was to get our kids PADI certified and that was great they just had to walk to the dive shop. We will be back. Very few amenities but we did not miss it.

Location is perfect and the fact that it had a kitchen was a plus. The screened in porch is wonderful and quite spacious. Easily another living area!. Staff at this property is very friendly. It is an older property, and some of the units have not been update, some have. My biggest issue was the furniture was very dated and uncomfortable and the mattress was like a board. Everything was clean and that was nice.
