Easy access to/from airport. Lovely dock with sunset views and great snorkeling and plunge pool. We used the dining decos list to book 4 awesome dinners and there’s a restaurant and bar next door. Room was clean and well equipped with a small balcony. Staff were very hospitable and there when you needed something.

We just returned from a wonderful stay at the Bellafonte in Bonaire and couldn't be more pleased with our experience. The location was perfect for exploring the island while still providing a peaceful retreat. What truly made each day special was the ocean view, particularly the beautiful sunset each evening. The facilities and room were well-maintained and provided all the comforts needed for a pleasant stay. The oceanfront setting created a constant backdrop of waves and sea breezes. Bellafonte offers that perfect combination of serenity, security, and natural beauty that makes for a memorable vacation. The location provides convenience without sacrificing privacy, and those sunset views alone are worth the trip.

We stayed in The Bellafonte for a week. We absolutely love this place! There is no sand beach but you can jump in a water from the pier and see corals, different fish and sea turtles. The hotel is clean and quiet. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is located on the water, which allows for swimming, snorkeling, and diving right from the pier. The pier is also shaded, which makes lounging a relaxing experience. There is a dive shop across the street for all water activities, and dive tanks are kept onsite. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, which made my stay very enjoyable.

This was our first time staying at the Bellafonte. We loved the location, the amenities (even though parking is at a premium just like any other resort on the water. Staff were amazing and always eager to please the guests. We LOVED the dock area which had very comfortable loungers and was amazing to lay out and watch the fish swimming around under the dock. The house reef was fantastic to dive, and I did this almost every day. We will be back!

The staff was very friendly and helpful making dinner reservations in town and delivered our food when we ordered from the restaurant next door. Our stay was extended due to airline problems. The staff and the other guests (a great group of people) were so nice. The front desk got us a list of pharmacies when we realized my husband's heart medication was running low. We made it home safely and recommend the Bellafonte to all our traveling friends.

AMAZING STAFF…

Property deserves a five star review mainly because of the amazing staff of Carolijn and the rest of the gang (Koen, Carl, Minke, Tamar, Lisa, Ashley - in no particular order) were simply awesome. They went above and beyond. One night was a welcome evening and we were served delicious snacks w free wine and beer. Snorkeling arnd hotel pier was great. Beds super comfy. What else can u ask for? Planning another vacay back to Bellafonte already!

The Bellafonte stay was the most horrible experience I’ve ever had vacationing. There is no kitchen on site, when ordering room service the food come from a restaurant which is 20 minutes away from the hotel. When the food arrived it was cold the hotel staff did not make any attempt to fix the problem. The staff is rude not welcoming at all, the elevators are the size of the toilet on an airplane. My card was overcharged by $600, keep in mind I booked the reservation through Expedia.

Sometimes, you just get lucky, our experience at Bellafonte was exceptional! You can do thorough research and examine photos but photos often appear nicer than reality and provide little insight into the service and atmosphere. This was one of those rare cases where the reality surpassed our expectations. We travel frequently, yet I don't recall encountering such friendly service and welcoming atmosphere as we did here. Everyone we met greeted us with a big smile and a huge warm welcome. Our second-floor, two-bedroom suite offered stunning sea views from the dining room, living room, and master bedroom. Both the master bedroom and living room opened onto a huge terrace over the water. We loved the fully furnished kitchen the shaded dock, the little pool, and the convenience of having a dive locker and rinse tank. Thank you all!
