Delfins Beach Resort Bonaire is part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton and stands on Punt Vierkant in Belnem, on the southern edge of Kralendijk. It has about 148 rooms, a private beach with sun loungers, beachfront dining, beach bars and a swim-up bar, a seasonal pool with cabanas and four restaurants. The room mix is broad: studios and standard rooms with a king bed, apartments with kitchens, two-bedroom apartments, family rooms with two king beds and penthouses that sleep six. Diving and snorkeling are offered, and free self-parking is included.
Location and getting around
The resort is about a four-minute drive from the airport, in a quiet area with a private beach, so arrivals are easy. Bachelor’s Beach is about a sixteen-minute walk, Te Amo Beach is a few minutes by car, and Donkey Beach is within a couple of miles. The airport shuttle and buffet breakfast are available at extra cost. A rental car makes the island easy to cover, and free parking helps.
The rooms and the feel
Rooms have air conditioning, in-room safes, sitting areas, coffee makers, refrigerators and TVs, and many apartments have kitchens. Because the layout is so varied, it suits couples who want a studio, families who need a two-bedroom or family room, and groups traveling together. The property is large and sociable, with beach bars, a swim-up bar and several places to eat, and guests can join a complimentary AquaFit class in the sea in front of the resort.
Good to know
The resort is on the quieter southern side of town, so you will drive or take a taxi for evenings in the center of Kralendijk, although on-site dining covers most needs. Breakfast is not always included, so check your rate. Because a resort of this size can feel busy in peak weeks, request a room location that suits you when you book. It is a strong choice for families and groups who want choice and space, less so for travelers who want a small, boutique atmosphere.
