"This was the 8th time we spent our diving vacation at Divers Paradise, with Shelly and Bobby as our wonderful hosts. As always, everything was perfect."

—Ejvind, March 2023

We moved to Bonaire in May of 2022 from Denver, CO to purchase and run Divers Paradise. We enjoy meeting people from all over the world and are very attentive to our guests.Our philosophy is that we would not hand you the keys to a room that we would not stay in ourselves. We understand how hard everyone works to enjoy a couple of weeks of vacation a year, so we know how important it is to have a fun, relaxing vacation without any issues.We take our job as “stewards of your stay” seriously. We will ensure that you will have a clean, very comfortable room, with everything functioning properly as it should. If you experience any issues with your room, we are there to resolve it very quickly.We also enjoy chatting with our guests and providing our favorite recommendations for activities, restaurants and dive sites.

"The owners, Shelly and Bobby are great. They go an extra mile to accommodate guests and are an excellent source of local information."

—Bogdan, Jan. 2023

"Amazing!!! My only regret is not finding this place sooner. However, my favorite was Percy, the dog. I miss my mornings giving him cuddles, treats and butt scratches. Can't wait to return!"

There is also swimming and snorkeling access within a 5 minute walk north or south of our location.Do you provide beach towels?
Yes, We provide all linens and towels, including towels for use off the property. Fresh towels are always available during your stay.Do I need a vehicle?
