The most amazing place we have ever stayed at! The staff was incredible, kind, helpful, and would walk down to the dock and hand us food during happy hour. The dock right on the water seems the best on the island. Snorkeling to right of dock is the best and taking a water taxi to the small island to snorkel is a must do 10/10 recommend!

The Bellefonte has been by far the absolute best place I have ever stayed. The views are amazing! You literally have everything at your fingertips. It is very close to just about everything there is to do. The rooms are more than you can ask for and the service is immaculate! If you're going to Bonaire, the Bellefonte is where you should stay.

We are thankful for the helpfulness of the staff, especially Armanda. She went above and beyond assisting us with activities, locating shopping areas, recommending restaurants and even going as far as arraigning a food delivery when a lot of restaurants were closed. The room was clean, spacious and had all we needed for our stay. The ocean view was great. The patio area outside the room was large and useful for morning coffee and afternoon drinks. The area is nice and quiet and it truly feels like paradise.

We stayed in The Bellafonte for a week. We absolutely love this place! There is no sand beach but you can jump in a water from the pier and see corals, different fish and sea turtles. The hotel is clean and quiet. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is located on the water, which allows for swimming, snorkeling, and diving right from the pier. The pier is also shaded, which makes lounging a relaxing experience. There is a dive shop across the street for all water activities, and dive tanks are kept onsite. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, which made my stay very enjoyable.

We just returned from a wonderful stay at the Bellafonte in Bonaire and couldn't be more pleased with our experience. The location was perfect for exploring the island while still providing a peaceful retreat. What truly made each day special was the ocean view, particularly the beautiful sunset each evening. The facilities and room were well-maintained and provided all the comforts needed for a pleasant stay. The oceanfront setting created a constant backdrop of waves and sea breezes. Bellafonte offers that perfect combination of serenity, security, and natural beauty that makes for a memorable vacation. The location provides convenience without sacrificing privacy, and those sunset views alone are worth the trip.

Sometimes, you just get lucky, our experience at Bellafonte was exceptional! You can do thorough research and examine photos but photos often appear nicer than reality and provide little insight into the service and atmosphere. This was one of those rare cases where the reality surpassed our expectations. We travel frequently, yet I don't recall encountering such friendly service and welcoming atmosphere as we did here. Everyone we met greeted us with a big smile and a huge warm welcome. Our second-floor, two-bedroom suite offered stunning sea views from the dining room, living room, and master bedroom. Both the master bedroom and living room opened onto a huge terrace over the water. We loved the fully furnished kitchen the shaded dock, the little pool, and the convenience of having a dive locker and rinse tank. Thank you all!
