We had a wonderful stay at A1! The closeness to Dive Friend, and the private dock was the major reason for us to stay here. We really enjoyed staying here, where everything was very clean and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!
The location right next to the dive operation and private pier was perfect. Kitchen was very well equipped. Multiple restaurants within just a short walk. The unit has a lovely screened room where you can sit and enjoy the sunsets.I'd definitely return and recommend to others.
Beautiful view, convenient location, nice and clean rooms. Property manager Pierre always very responsive in any questions we had. Happy about the staying.
Great condo, location and setup for diving! The screened in porch area for drying gear is fabulous. Simple and had everything we needed. My only recommendation is to upgrade the pillows, they definitely have seen better days but other than that the check in and check out process was simple and easy. Communications from owner and property manager was fabulous. Will definitely be back and would stay here again!!!
Excellent location near gate/entry to Dive Friends @ Sand Dollar and Pier. Great set-up on screened porch to hang and dry dive equipment. Will definitely book another visit.

Great diving! Great condo!
We loved staying at this condo! It was wonderful being so close to dive shop! Condo had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch just relaxing. Would definitely stay here again!
Great relaxing time. The Sand Dollar was quiet, friendly, and next door (literally) to Dive Friends. Both owner and property manager were helpful, friendly, and responsive. Can’t wait to come back to Bonaire and the Sand Dollar!
A1 is located beautifully next to the dive dock, gear room, Dive Friends dive shop and Breezes and Bites restaurant in Den Laman. This is our favorite property to stay at, for the convenience, cleanliness, and ease of diving. Owner and manager very nice and communicative.
Nice place. Very low key and comfortable. The location is phenomenal. You can literally walk out your door and swim in a pristine, clear, calm ocean with a sandy bottom. The property manager Pierre was super helpful.
The owner and property manager were great to deal with. Very good communication. The property is a great location for snorkeling. I saw an octopus my first day just steps from the front door. The place is close to everything you would need. Bar/restaurants/dive shop all right next door.
Very nice unit with large screened in porch and a view of the ocean. Comfortably furnished, and a well-equipped kitchen. Free off street parking. Best of all, there was very nice snorkeling both left and right, right out your door. Greg and the property manager made sure we had an easy check in & out process. Would definitely book this place again.
Best location for ease of access to diving, restaurants, etc.
We've stayed in A1 many times. Love the location, view, ease of access to dive gear, dock, etc. Check in was easy. They've done some updates this past year, and the kitchen is well laid out and functional. Bathroom has new sink and cabinetry combo, and shower now has partial glass wall, so no more shower curtain! The property manager communicates promptly and takes care of anything that needs addressed in a very timely manner, and is helpful and personable. WiFi worked great. We rented a truck for the 2 weeks, and can park close to the building.Our granddaughter completed her junior dive certification with Dive Friends, and had a positive experience.
The location was perfect right next to the dive center and the diving pier. The condo needs renovation and more space for storage. We kept our clothes in our luggage as there was no storage for them. Everything worked properly (air conditioning, fridge and other appliances). The manager answered our text messages very quickly. We would go back anytime

Thank you for your business and your feedback. There is a large closet with plenty of clothes hanging space, and additional clothing hooks in the same side room from the bedroom. Since your stay, two clothes dressers have been added to the bedroom, the entire condo has been painted, and the interior has new flooring. See photos for details. The original version of much of the condo is reflected in our value rates. Many of the website-posted photos include a date for reference. A kitchen renovation is scheduled for Sept, 2024.
We look forward to an opportunity to host you again.
Quiet, cozy, ground floor. Large screened porch with ocean view. Glass doors that can be opened up from living room and bedroom to porch. Just steps away from dive shop, gear room, air fills. Dive Bari Reef right off the dock! Sand Dollar Resort has the longest stretch of ocean frontage on the island. Breezes & Bites is right next door. Their talented chef offers wonderful food and one of the best rib eye steaks I’ve had annywhere. Walking distance to a number of shops, including drug store, icecream shop, gifts, and several other great restaurants. This condo has been our favorite spot to stay the last several times we’ve been to the island.

A little rundown
We only stayed one night because when we came back from dinner there were two giant cockroaches. Not a great value for the $. No swimming pool, no closet to hang clothes and only a tiny wicker four drawer dresser that would not have held all of our clothes. The location was great, but we just didn’t want to deal with cockroaches

The guest failed to notice the resort pool or large clothes closet and additional clothes hooks. Careful food and counter management help prevent attracting insects. Two clothes dressers have been added, new flooring installed, and the unit was painted.
The location was perfect for me. Close to the dive shop and very close to the little beach. The property has a screen porch as wide as the condo. We really enjoyed having meals out there and just relaxing. The interior is a little dated (80's?) but it was very clean. I also noticed that the couch has a hide-a-bed that can be pulled out. The only complaint (from my GF) is that the compressor from the dive shop is also very close to the condo. It runs from 9am-5pm. In the mornings, when I was doing boat dives, the compressor noise caused my GF to have to move to the other end of the property. Not a huge deal but worth mentioning.

Thanks for your review. This is the first comment I have had regarding compressor noise. I honestly don't notice it when there. I do keep the door and windows closed on that side to keep wind blown dust out. I think most guests do the same. That also stops me from noticing compressor noise. The compressor location is actually just outside of the edge of the aerial cover photo for our unit, so I am not sure I would call it very close, which is also why I don't notice it I expect.
