Vronie & Geert
We stayed in the one bedroom apartment with full kitchen and an amazing 30 foot by 7 foot balcony that sits about 8 feet above and 20 feet back from... read more the waters’ edge. Sunset and 180 degree views. We snorkeled 3 times going north or south from One Ocean and saw more fish and more species than at any of the other designated shore accessible snorkeling spots on the island.
The owners, Vronie and Geert, are super friendly and helpful.
The location is perfect because it’s between the town and all the main dive spots. If you stay south of town you would have to deal with traffic and cruise ship crowds every day. More
One Ocean was such an ideal place to spend a week diving with my daughter. I waited years for our schedules to align where we could go to Bonaire... read more and One Ocean was an excellent choice. The location was ideal for our plans to dive both North and South of the city. They are a VIP Diving center partner so the tank delivery eliminated all the time overhead of obtaining and returning tanks. Did all that right there at One Ocean. Did 3 dives right there- at One Ocean. They have an easy shore entry right from their garden. An easy swim out to the reef and without having to drive or load tanks there is a magnificent reef. Did 1 day dive and 2 night dives here. Navigation back is easy. One Ocean garden lights are the last one on the line. There is good soft coral so if you are lucky enough to be there when the ostracods are active, it is a good place for that as well. Top it off with a good rinse station and storage lockers. Helps make that last task of the day- the clean up- easier and quicker. There is a flight of stairs from the street level to the rinsing and storage area. But this is the same level and only a few feet from the One Ocean shore entry. Vronnie and Geert are excellent hosts. Very responsive and appreciative. Very...

Vronnie and Geert are excellent hosts. Very responsive and appreciative. Very helpful with restaurant selection and providing information for non-diving activities. Really appreciated Vronnie and Geert. These are the kind of people you want to meet. More
Wonderful island getaway - Stayed eight nights here in August. One Ocean is located at the end of a main road, away from the city center (about 10 minutes drive), so you get a... read more somewhat secluded feel and it's quiet. Before even arriving, the staff reached out to me to make sure I was on track to arrive and wanted to address any questions I had. They even told me I could save some money by cancelling my booking with an online booking site I had used and to go direct through them, so I did; I appreciated they did this.
The grounds are well kept, several chairs to relax in, a spa right on the water to enjoy a glass of bubbly and watch the sunset... We had rented the junior apartment, which has a separate kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. This was adequate for two people. Entire space was clean and comfortable. AC worked well in our room. Kitchen was stocked with just about every cooking item and utensil you'd need for a week.
The hotel also offered a deal to hire a vehicle as well as a deal with a local dive shop. We did both of these things. The truck worked great and the dive shop was convenient. Really only had to go to the dive shop once to get fitted for dive suits and other items. Otherwise, all tanks (nitrox and air) were available on-site at One Ocean - super convenient!
Everything you need is a short few minutes drive away. Grocery stores, restaurants, dive shops, etc.
Recommend for sure. The Staff are very pleasant people. Entire facility is clean, modern, comfortable, and secure. A great place to stay and use as a base to explore the island and do some diving.
