Honestly, when we return to Bonaire we will not even look for any other accommodations. Everything at One Ocean was absolutely perfect! The luxury one bedroom apartment, the view,... read more the hosts were all more than I had imagined. The ocean breeze flowing through the apartment,...More
Affordable luxury with amazing snorkeling is my vacation dream. When vacation planning last year, I thought I found it with the One Ocean Apartments. When you plan so far in... read more advance and with such great expectations, it is hard not to be disappointed. Our 11 day vacation, in the Penthouse, actually exceeded them! Everyday, we just smiled at each other, and said can you believe this place, this view, and the snorkeling. The house reef at One Ocean is a wonderful spot, with French Angels, barracuda, trunk fish, huge parrot fish, eels, porcupine fish, spotted rum, file fish, schools of blue tang, honeycoomb cowfish (I watched one change colours continuously as it swam from spot to spot) etc. and this was all from the shallows. A short swim out, you can see the deeper reef and it is like looking at a whole different world. If you are fanatically like we are, you can drift snorkel from One Ocean, past Petries Pillar to Andrea 1 and Andrea 2. Our longest snorkel was a 2.5 hour drift snorkel along this route, followed by a 25 minute walk back to One Ocean (look at Google Maps for the path). Our final snorkel just in front and to the north of One Ocean, we saw two turtles (one in the shallows) and had a bait ball swim right by us. It was an incredible send off!

We did pry ourselves away from One Ocean to snorkel at other locations, 1000 steps, Karpata, Red Beryl, Lac Bay and Klein Bonaire but it was amazing to start or finish the day with a snorkel right there. When exploring other snorkel sites, we did enjoy the food trucks of Bonaire. But the best food we had, was on the terrace of the One Ocean Penthouse. Dinner in a box Bonaire has a good selection of restaurants that they will deliver to you for $5. Once you figure out which restaurants are open on a given night, simply text your order via WhatsApp, and it arrives 30-60 minutes later. For us, sunset dining at your own oceanfront property with a few beverages (and not having to drive), was paradise. As others have said, the owners V & G are wonderful hosts. They provide a perfect balance of ensuring their guests are well taken care of, without being intrusive. Vronie went way beyond “the call of duty” when she coordinated (and delivered) the arrival of our luggage when it missed our connecting flight. We have been fortunate to have had 12 Caribbean holidays, and this one is by far our favourite snorkeling trip and favourite accommodations. See you in 2022! More
One Ocean is the perfect place for your island vacation - One Ocean is the perfect, welcoming place for your island vacation. Vronie and Geert go out of their way to ensure that you have everything you need to relax and... read more unwind. The service was seamless with One Ocean from car rental, airport transfers, and a beautiful apartment right on the water. Our balcony view of the crystal clear water and stunning sunsets was magnificent! You can step right from their beach into good snorkeling or swimming. The location is perfect; close to town and some of the best snorkeling and dive spots on the island. One Ocean is ideal for couples who want a quiet, romantic place, to enjoy the natural beauty of Bonaire after an active day of diving or snorkeling. The dive lockers downstairs, an outdoor shower, and onsite parking add to the convenience. This was our fourth stay at One Ocean and we keep coming back because it is so lovely ♥️
