Yacht Club Apartments, Bonaire

Advantages: Beautiful resort hotel, great facilities!
Disadvantages: Not easy on the pocket!

...DISNEY'S YACHT CLUB The Yacht Club at Walt Disney World has to be my favourite hotel in all of the world (Disney World that it!) and as many Ciao-ers will know I have stayed in and reviewed a LOT of Disney Hotels! I love this hotel because the service is impeccable down to the staff who open and close the doors for you when you enter and exit the hotel. The staff are also dressed in a clean nautical theme and lobby is expertly themed with low ceilings, benches and port holes! Check-in is always fast and efficient and the concierge is knowledgeable and able to secure most dining and other activities that guests require. The communal areas are all beautiful with lots of great touches: kids love the large globe in the lobby and even the individual towels I the public rest rooms are a rare luxury in this day and age!

Disadvantages: Not much to remember

...Bonaire belongs to what is called the tropical "ABC". What is this ABC about? ABC means Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. Bonaire is of the three the less prepared for tourists, and if we have to put them in order, the ABC would be more an acb. Bonaire IS worth a day trip that you can do either from Aruba or from Curacao. In addition, you will notice that Bonaire is the earth of the locals, maybe that is why their nightlife is much more relax than their neighbours. If you choose one this day trips you'll have a meal included either in the ship or in one of the tourist restaurants. Choose the second one, the meal worth it, rather than a silly sandwich you can enjoy a tasty fresh fish while the Caribbean music is played live. And is highly recommendable to choose the option that includes some snorkel or scuba diving... Read review
