  Wonderful Island Destination

  This was a milestone birthday vacation for my husband…… I had previously stayed at the Divi Flamingo in September 2023 with a friend. Both trips were exquisitely fantastic. This is a well-managed and well-maintained. resort. Staff are super-helpful and courteous.Already familiar with two Divi establishments in Aruba, my vote now goes to Bonaire. 🥇 Hoping to return again and again!

  Great dive resort, close walk to town!

  This is the 4th or 5th time we have stayed at Divi beach resort for a diving vacation. We love the dive shop, dive masters, and in general hope the dive shop manages their program. We also really enjoy the resort, eat regularly at both Pure Ocean and Chibi. We use the pools, sun decks, lounge areas, and snorkel off the beach on our non dive days. We always get the ocean front deluxe rooms!! They are beautiful! The staff is always helpful and want us to have a nice time. I highly recommend this resort to anyone interested in diving and relaxing. It’s also close to town for an east walk to restaurants and shops!!

  Great Place Great Location

  Great location, beautiful water out front, great pools and good restaurants. Easy check in, all of the staff that we delt with were wonderful people. Walking distance to town for drinks or dinner. Also fairly well located for getting to both ends of the island in a timely fashion. All in all a great stay.

  I won't go back.

  Booked an all-inclusive two-week vacation at the Divi Flamingo from Feb. 18 to March 5, 2025. Went with my daughter. I had booked and paid for the vacation in July 2024 and was very excited to be staying in an Oceanfront room, which is the main reason I was returning to the resort. My daughter and I also liked the location and planned to do a lot of snorkelling. The night we arrived we were told that we "had an upgrade" to a suite with a "great view of the ocean." The suite was on the second floor by a busy road and the casino. (I have a bad knee and found the climb uncomfortable.) To see the ocean one had to look beyond the pool. The suite had a kitchen but I wasn't planning to cook -- I had purchased an all-inclusive package for two weeks and didn't want to cook on my holiday. I said that I wanted to move to an Oceanfront, which I had paid for in July. They said they'd look into it but there was nothing they could do at the time. I talked to about three to four other people at the resort who had booked an Oceanfront and found themselves in a suite instead. I kept phoning to request an oceanfront. In the meantime in the suite, we had a blocked toilet twice and found maintenance rude to us. The key card had to be replaced and I had security come by four times to try and fix the safe. I finally gave up on it being repaired. The front desk contacted me in a few days and said they had an oceanfront available on Saturday, Feb. 22. They offered me $60 to compensate for my inconvenience. (I've yet to see the money.) The oceanfront room was lovely, although the main who helped moved us couldn't understand why we didn't want the suite instead. The only complaint about the room was that I believe we were the victims of theft -- but that's another story. I also found some people who used the pool near the oceanfront suites were endangering guests. I had noticed some people, who I don't believe were paid guests, enjoying the facilities two Sundays in a row. On Sunday, March 2, some mothers arrived and spent the afternoon drinking and gossiping with their backs to the kids. The kids were going wild -- screaming, running around the pool with a water gun, running up and down the stairs to the sundeck and eating their lunch in the pool. It's great that other people besides paying guests can enjoy the pool but control your children! One paying guest said to me that she was going back to her room because she couldn't stand it anymore. As far as the food goes, food at Chibi Chibi was good, although it was about an hour's wait. Wasn't thrilled at the international nights at Pureocean restaurant. Staff, who rotated between the two restaurants, ranged from friendly to grumpy or indifferent. They looked exhausted -- like they needed a day off after working all week. This is my third time at the Divi Flamingo and I won't be coming back.

  Very good.

  There is much to like about the Divi Flamingo. Its location is convenient to walk to town where there are many fine restaurants. (My faves were Raining fish and Bon Tapa.). There are also fine restaurants at the resort. (A special shout-out to Preeti who was consistently upbeat and competent.) My room was first rate: clean and right on the water. Some negatives are the excursion desk (open only during prime dive times) and the front desk that could provide limited info. Also negative is the lack of a real beach, although the recliners on he peers provide a perfect place to sit and read or contemplate the beautiful sunsets.
