Sorobon Resort in Bonaire exceeded our expectation and provided our family of four with a super island experience in an environment full of wilderness. From the moment you arrive time slows down and nature takes the stage. The location is unbeatable – right on the amazing Lac Bay with its shallow, crystal-clear waters and gentle breeze. It’s ideal for windsurfing (lessons are available right on site), but also perfect for simply relaxing in the warm water. The private beach is quiet, clean, and equipped with shaded loungers. The accommodations are spacious enough and charming, bringing together true island vibes with modern comfort. Our « beach house » was just steps from the water and had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchenette and a comfy bed. The fold out sofa is ok for kids but may be a little light weight for teenagers. What sets Sorobon apart is the laid-back atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful, always available without being intrusive. We also loved the yoga sessions – a perfect addition to the tranquil setting. Sorobon Resort isn’t your typical commercial hotel – and that’s what makes it special. If you stay a few days, a car rental is a must as the resort is a 15 min drive from the city center.

We are staying at Sorobon Resort in Bonaire. We have only been here 3 days and everything is so wonderful I just had to give it a review now. We came here many times in the past and it got so bad that we stopped staying here. We heard that they completely redid everything so we decided to give it a try. We are so delighted about all of the changes- the bungalows completely upgraded, the lounge chairs and covered beds have new cushions, and an improved restaurant. The food is incredible with a flair in its presentation. One of the best things are the staff. From the moment we walked in everyone was so kind and helpful. I want to recognize one person in particular. His name is Ellis and he is spectacular in everything he does. He really helped us with a problem we had with the lounge beds. He also works in the restaurant. From the first time we met him he has been so kind, helpful and personable. He is everything I would want in an employee. I would highly recommend the Sorobon Beach Resort for anyone coming to Bonaire.

“Nice But Not Luxury”

My wife and I just returned from spending 5 nights at this resort.

My wife and I just returned from spending 5 nights at this resort. Strong points include the location away from congestion, setting on a very pretty (and very shallow) bay that is outstanding for windsurfing. Within 2 miles of the resort we could reliably spot groups of flamingos rooting in marshy areas off the road - and plenty of wild donkeys happy to take our carrots. The rooms were simple but comfortable, and the daily cleaning service was excellent. The Reef Bar (an entity independent from the resort itself) is a beautiful open air setting - had one excellent and one mediocre dinner there - free breakfasts were quite nice. On a less positive note, I agree with a review submitted August 2025 that the word "Luxury" in the resort name belies an underlying spotty service performance, particularly at the front desk/admin level. The first sign of struggle was in the failure of the resort to request the balance due 30 days prior to our arrival - which I recognized only 3 weeks prior, and raised concerns that I had made an error in the reservation. 2 emails sent on consecutive days were ignored - eventually requiring a phone call placed by me in order to confirm the reservation and send the balance due. The staff is comprised of a large number of interns from a hotel/hospitality program in the Netherlands, many of whom appeared unhappy - and many of whom struggled with basic functions such as checking us in, and out, of the resort. There are no dedicated staff for such things as moving luggage to and from rooms (I carried both ways), or responding to service requests reliably (unfixed coffee maker, failure to make a restaurant reservation). A second point relevant to the "luxury" moniker is that day visitors are welcomed, and provided with access to the beachfront cabanas and lounges located directly in front of our "Premium Oceanfront Beach House". We were told at the start of our stay that only 5 of the 25 beach house units were rented, but on 2 of the 4 full days we spent at this resort, the parking lot was nearly full and all of the cabanas directly in front of us occupied. Several other resorts we checked on had security gates and did not allow visitors in - more consistent with a luxury accommodation. This resort has the potential to be a premium destination, but there's a good bit of work to be done.

“Nice respite from the heat!”

We have been to Bonaire previously, so we knew we just wanted to relax and let our 18-yr old try some snorkeling.

We have been to Bonaire previously, so we knew we just wanted to relax and let our 18-yr old try some snorkeling. We were able to get a beach bed and 2 chairs - I think each chair was $20 and the bed was $40. They came with towels and a bottle of water for each one (bed was a large bottle of water for 2 people) and was under a palapa. It wasn't crowded at all. Service was a bit hard - we were told to grab where we wanted to lounge and they'd be by to open tab, give water, towels. We waited about 45 minutes before anyone even stopped by. (they DO take American Express, FYI). But, again, it wasn't too crowded, and we were chilling. Husband & 18-yr old daughter grabbed snorkel stuff & headed out - they had to walk pretty far into the water - VERY SHALLOW!! but, they did see some fish and had a great time! Son (16) and I just chilled under the palapa as it was HOT out! We did try the Royal Club Cassis soda drink - DELICIOUS!!! Sodas were ~$4 each. We ordered some little bites - tzatziki and bread, and 2 orders of potstickers (6 on each plate), i think each bite plate was ~$12. They were decent. Wouldn't rush back for the bites, but held us over as it was close to lunchtime. We stayed for about 3 hours. If we did another cruise that went to Bonaire, we would definitely do this again as it was super relaxing. Service was so-so - my 16-yr old mentioned that all the servers were young, blond ladies - so he enjoyed it! ;-) We wanted to drive to the Cadushy Distillery after this, so we packed up & headed to Rincon. This seemed GREAT for little kids as Bonaire is otherwise pretty rocky & wavy ... the water looked super calm and it was very shallow for quite a ways out.
