Comments	Third time at this resort. All inclusive is the way to go. Plenty of hot water, no complaints about the room. Restaurant served good food and plenty of it. Dive group had to sit to the rear of the main seating area, but not much of a problem. Covid was not an issue. Dive boat was good except boat had problems starting a few times and had to be given a battery jump with battery charger/jumper on board the boat. Tanks at or above 3000 psi. Not many lionfish seen except by a few divers. Spearing them seems to keep them down. overall corals seemed good, with some signs of that coral virus here and there. Few large fish except a couple here and there. Typical Bonaire diving. New restaurant being built along with other facilities and with new check in lobby. Old lobby to be torn down when construction is finished. Pool has been widened and a pool bar/snack restaurant at the pool. New dive training pool being built. Maybe complete in a year or so.
