  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.

  Relax by the ocean.

  Relax by the crystal clear ocean. That is the first impression of Divi Flamingo Resort. Good rooms, good bed and nice sea view from the balcony directly by the sea. Food is fine, especially breakfast. The all-inclusive is different than usual but the quality is good. All staff are super friendly and helpful. Cons are unfortunately that when ordering a simple drink such as a glass of rose, a gin tonic or a mojito you are told that this is not there. That may happen once but not over and over again. That makes it a slightly lesser experience.

  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.

  Your home away from home in Bonaire!

  This resort has become my home away from home in Bonaire. The staff treat you as if you’re in their home! So kind, fun, accommodating. They were going through a systems upgrade while we were there. Not fun! But they were champs. Location on the island is perfect. It’s an easy walk into town. Rooms are clean and fresh. Restaurants offer a varied menu. Do not miss BBQ night on Saturdays or sunset happy hours. Thank you all. Can’t wait to return!
