We had a fantastic time at Sand Dollar! This resort is perfect for divers and beach lovers, with spacious and clean accommodations and a great on-site dive shop. The location is ideal for enjoying beautiful sunsets by the water. However, the noise from the dive shop compressors could be a concern, and the housekeeping service was limited during our stay.

I had a fantastic stay at Sand Dollar Bonaire, with clean and spacious condos providing beautiful ocean views. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the dive shop next door made it easy for me to enjoy diving right off the dock. However, I was slightly disappointed that the pool closed early, which limited my options after a day of diving.

The accommodations were decent, but nothing extraordinary. Our unit was functional, and the kitchen was well-stocked, which was a plus. However, I found it inconvenient to have to use the adjacent property's facilities for diving and other activities. Overall, it was a satisfactory stay, but I would consider other locations for my next trip, especially since some units are being remodeled and could offer better options in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at this resort! The condos were spacious and well-appointed, which made for a great family getaway. The location was ideal, being close to the water and several restaurants within walking distance. However, the housekeeping service was less than ideal, only coming by once during our week-long stay. We also encountered some issues with trash and recycling management that could be improved.
