Ocean Breeze Boutique Hotel & Marina

Great hotel for a relaxed stay. Stayed there several times, last trip in October 2024. Close to the airport, but quiet. The parking lot can get crowded but overall a nice hotel with great and friendly service, ample and clean rooms and soft beds. Definitely recommended for a stay in Bonaire.

Good service. Loved it. Good food at the restaurant. Had some internet issues in the beginning. A tall guy with dreads came by the room to fix it and he even checked upon us after he was finished. Would definitely book again when we plan our vacation.

Our recent stay at Ocean Breeze Bonaire boutique hotel was absolutely delightful. Situated on a peninsula surrounded by water, including a charming small harbor, the location of Ocean Breeze is breathtaking. The two-bedroom apartment we stayed in was not only beautiful decorated but also incredibly practical. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploring the island. The apartment was kept refreshingly clean and there were more than enough towels and beach towels provided for our convenience. The complimentary Rituals hand soap and shampoo were a thoughtful touch, adding to the overall luxury of the stay. One of the highlights for my 84-year-old father was the wide selection of TV channels including four Dutch channels and several sports channels which kept him entertained during downtime. The housekeeping staff were incredibly friendly and attentive visiting our apartement three times over our 10-nights stay to change the beds and refresh the space. The front desk staff were also exeptionally helpful and welcoming always ready to assist with any queries or requests we had. Their warmth and hospitality truly enhanced our overall experience at Ocean Breeze. Overall, our stay at Ocean Breeze Bonaire exceeded all expectations and we are already looking forward to returning next year. Without doubt, Ocean Breeze will be our top choice for accomodation when we visit Bonaire again.

Honestly there must be dozens of better places to stay on Bonaire. Location is convenient as it is right across from the airport. It is within 10 minutes driving distance of downtown. It is located a few minutes away from a Dive Friends Bonaire shop, which is important for scuba divers. The downsides: 1) Housekeeping was nonexistent. We were there for 8 or 9 nights and housekeeping appeared to stop by 3 times, aka every three days. We are no longer in COVID times, so this is simply laziness on the part of the hotel. While I don't necessarily a super fancy service every day, how about at least replenishing the towels and taking the trash out? Too much to ask for this place. We had to repeatedly ask them for everything and anything related to housekeeping. 2) Front desk was utterly unhelpful with just about everything. First of all the young girls who are sitting there like to "disappear" into the room adjacent to the check in counter, and they all have a bit of an attitude. Every time we went up there to exchange towels, or place our luggage there, or etc, nobody was sitting at the check in desk - even in broad daylight at times like 1:30. Someone would finally pop their head out after a minute or two and it felt like we were greatly inconveniencing them by asking them for the most basic of items. These girls could use a lesson on customer service. 3) Hot water pressure is fine, but it was very difficult to control the temperature. We would have scalding water for a few minutes, then it would level off to a comfortable temperature, and then within 5-10 minutes would become immediately lukewarm and/or cold. Not ideal when you have several people returning from diving wanting to shower. 4) Very old kitchenware. The knives were exceptionally dull and would barely even cut up fruit. 5) Queen beds are really two twin beds squashed together and covered with sheets. There was still a gigantic crevasse in between the two beds. My husband and I kept rolling into this crevasse every night. Completely uncomfortable. Honestly, I was very unimpressed by this place and think there are dozens of other places to stay at on the island with better service and amenities.

We were very pleased to stay at Ocean Breeze. Visiting Bonaire is always very special to me and staying at this hotel especially because it makes me feel a little bit at home… The restaurant is a very nice addition as the food is delicious and the people very kind…

Good hotel. Well priced. Fast check-in/check-out. After 19:00 there is no more front-desk. Very european in its practical approach. Two downsides. One of the ground floor hallways (5 rooms) leads to the pool and restaurant and is very noisy. Rooms 1011-1016. Bonaire has brown/blackouts about 4-6x per year. This hotel does not have any generator. When the power is gone, everything stops in the hotel. There even isn’t any emergency lighting in the hallways.
