Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino sits on J.A. Abraham Boulevard in Kralendijk on a private beach, close enough to walk into town and only a few minutes by car from the airport. It is a classic dive-and-beach resort, built around its oceanfront, two pools with cabanas, a small casino, a spa and a gym that offers yoga classes. Rooms include standard pool-view rooms, deluxe ocean-view rooms and larger studio suites that sleep up to six. The resort also has restaurants and bars along the water, and both room-only and all-inclusive rates are offered, which makes budgeting simple.
Location and getting around
The resort is in the Playa area of Kralendijk, about three minutes from the airport by car, which keeps transfers short. Town sights are within walking distance, with Fort Oranje and the Bonaire Museum about a nineteen-minute walk away, and several restaurants within a few minutes on foot. A rental car or taxi is still useful for Washington Slagbaai, the salt pans and Lac Bay.
The rooms and the feel
Standard rooms sleep up to four and are straightforward and comfortable, deluxe ocean-view rooms add the outlook, and studio suites give families or small groups extra space with a sofa bed. Rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a safe and a coffee maker. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, with a pool bar, a beach bar and a casino for the evening, and the on-site dive center operates boats and a house reef that can be explored at any hour.
Good to know
The all-inclusive plan covers food and drinks at the oceanfront restaurants and bars, which suits groups and families who prefer not to think about the bill. Free self-parking is available, and a playground helps with children. Check the resort for current restaurant hours, casino rules and activity schedules. It suits divers, families and couples who want a central base with a lot included, but travelers who want a boutique feel or total quiet may prefer a smaller property.
