Sand Dollar Bonaire offers independent vacation living for SCUBA divers who desire all the comforts of home while in paradise. The combination of good value, comfortable living, situated within a secure, natural, oceanfront environment, makes Sand Dollar Bonaire ideal for families, couples and groups.

Studios, one, two- and three-bedroom oceanfront apartments are privately owned and professionally managed.  Each condo is fully air-conditioned with comfortable sleeping areas, ensuite bathrooms, and full kitchens.  They are decorated with love, cleaned to high standards, and stocked with every amenity.

Sand Dollar Bonaire’s exceptionally large and peaceful surrounding provides the ideal space to relax in solitude. The oceanfront walkway is the jewel of the property and includes multiple sun decks with loungers, outdoor showers, and BBQs.  Access the ocean by several easy and convenient stairways, a private dock, and their very own small, sandy beach. Just steps from the shoreline, divers and snorkelers appreciate the beauty and diversity of Bari Reef.  A dive shop, 2 restaurants and a swimming pool complement the facilities.

Location

Bonaire, an island municipality of the Netherlands, lies 30 miles from Curacao, 50 miles north of Venezuela, 86 miles east of Aruba, in the southern Caribbean. Bonaire is 24 miles long by 3-5 miles wide.

Sand Dollar and Dive Friends Bonaire is situated approximately 2 miles north from the capital city of Kralendijk, along the west coast of Bonaire. Guests with car rental may enjoy easy access to the restaurants, bars, and shops of Bonaire’s charming capital.

Due to its positioning, this idyllic island is outside of the hurricane belt and consequently enjoys beautiful weather throughout the year. With average air temperatures of 82°F, and water temperatures averaging 80°F, there is little rainfall and easterly trade winds provide mild breezes to keep conditions ideal for vacationing year-round.

Bonaire also offers excellent scuba diving, snorkeling and windsurfing, and has been designated as having the most pristine coral reef environment and most species of fish in the Caribbean by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.
