Our 4th visit to Buddy Dive Resort in the past 3 years.  We make Bonaire
and Buddys an annual pilgrimage.  Resort staff are friendly and helpful. 
Accomodations are adequate and always clean and comfortable.  Dive
facilities and staff are excellent.  The diving is superb with healthy
reefs with loads of small critters.  The people of Bonaire are polite and
friendly and seem happy to have you visit their island paradise.  Local
restaurants have good food at reasonable prices.  Meal choices run the
gamut from Whataburger, KFC, and Subway on the simple side to Cappricios
and Richards on the elegant side.  Our personal favorite is the Rib Factory
which is located on the second floor of the Kralendyke shopping area
overlooking the harbor.  A great location to catch the sunsets and enjoy a
great meal with friends and family reflecting on another day in Divers
Paradise.
