The Bellafonte - Luxury Oceanfront Hotel

Unable to give zero stars otherwise would. Our family of four had a fully paid "guaranteed" reservation, at the penthouse of this property nonetheless, at least 5 months prior to a spring break trip. 3 weeks before a much anticipated vacation we received an email informing us the reservation is not valid any longer, with some ridiculous explanation (computer glitch?!, really people?.. it is 2024). Further attempts to contact the management/staff led to more outrageous explanations (oil leak in the ocean, etc). To add insult to injury a "similar" property was offered instead, which was not even oceanfront and valued at about 1/3 of what we had already paid. No meaningful attempt to compensation of what was a ruined vacation was made. This is a dishonest business that appears to cancel reservations through third parties (we had ours through *******) as soon as they find customers through their own direct booking, to save a few bucks, with complete disregard to customers. Furthermore, while the property seems to have expansive ocean views , there is no beach, no grounds, no on-site restaurant, and their pool is tiny, more like a hot tub, unswimmable (we saw the property in passing by). This business and their management doesn't deserve our tourist money and needs to be exposed for their dishonest, even deceiving practices. The Harbor Village resort on the same island, where we eventually ended up (for part of what supposed to be a full week vacation) is a much better resort and professionally managed.

This was our first visit to Bonaire, and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. We loved everything about the Bellafonte! The room was cozy and comfortable with an amazing view. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The dock and plunge pool were absolutely stunning. We will most definitely be back! Already missing those turquoise waters...!

First time visit and I enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious and very clean. Staff are professional, attentive to specific requests and courteous. I certainly recommend anyone looking for a nice, quiet and relaxing experience to consider staying at the Bellafonte Luxury Oceanfront Hotel. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be returning upon next visit to the island.

This was our 15th stay at theBellafonte and as usual I can’t say enough acolytes about the place and the staff. From check in to check out everything was fantastic. The hotel is kept clean and is conveniently located near the airport and close to downtown. The scuba diving is excellent, but has suffered from the coral disease ravaging the Caribbean. Nevertheless still in very good condition We can’t wait to return for another amazing visit.

The hotel is very nice and rooms large & spacious. The staff at this hotel is excellent. Always a smile on everyone's face as they do anything they can to help make your vacation more enjoyable. They also helped me set up some last minute activities on the island.

the staff are amazing and book anything you require. Even when i had to stay late due to flight delays they arranged everything
