Stretch out. Relax. Just like our grounds, our rooms are spacious as well. It just makes sense - after spending the day enjoying the natural beauty of our island, we don't want to cramp your style. Here, the 200 overly spacious ocean or lagoon-side suites, and spacious one- and two-bedroom villas with a complete kitchen, are perfect for individuals, couples, families or groups. Each room is air conditioned and decorated with comfortable room amenities which feature mini-fridge, coffee maker, huge bathrooms, cable TV, telephone, and a private patio or balcony. Enhanced by more than 300,000 tropical plants and trees, Plaza Resort Bonaire leisurely sprawls over 12 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds - in fact the prettiest on the island. A private marina is lined by spacious villas and suites, and a pearl-white beach stretches from one end of the property to the other. All this gives guests the privacy and peace they've come here for. As the resort's staff caters to your every need, you are free to devote all of your energy to relaxation and enjoyment. Toucan Diving, the resort's first class, IDD/PADI/NAUI 5-star dive center and PADI Gold Palm Resort, takes care of everything that is necessary for you to explore the marvels of Bonaire's internationally-renowned Marine Park.

The grounds of the Plaza Resort Bonaire are a travel destination in themselves, complete with a captivating man-made lagoon, waterfall and more than 300,000 tropical trees and flowering plants. If you wish to venture farther afield, for anything from a private honeymoon dinner on a moonlit beach to an overnight sailing excursion, the resort staff and Tropical Travel (located right in the resort lobby) will provide expert arrangement and assistance.
