For your Bonaire stay, experience what the many repeat guests to our unit do; the prime 1 bdrm location for convenience, views, and waterfront access. Our guests say "Having had plenty of time to check out most of the hotel and condo accommodations on Bonaire, we feel this condo is the best of all!"

Additional Location Information
Experience for yourself what the many repeat guests to our unit do; the prime 1 bdrm location for convenience, views, and waterfront access. Our guests say "Having had plenty of time to check out most of the hotel and condo accommodations on Bonaire, we feel this condo is the best of all!"
This unit enjoys a unique outside-end location, providing a more panoramic view, and less vehicular activity than other one bdrms in the facility. The extra large porch provides for ocean viewing from BOTH your bedroom and living room. Finally, it is the closest unit in the resort to the small sandy beach and associated rinse shower. Bonaire abounds in dive shops, including a drive thru tank service just north of the resort.
With 950 square feet, you will have all the amenities of home and a location second to none; steps from the beautiful turquoise blue Caribbean waters and Bari Reef, ranked number one in the Caribbean for variety of fish species.
On-site are restaurants, a pool, convenience store, ice cream shop, internet access, cell phone rentals, tennis courts, and grills.
Last but not least is the windsurfing for all skill levels at beautiful Lac Bay, and the exotic 14,000 acre Washington-Slaagbai National Park in northern Bonaire.
On February 12, 2008, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) designated the coral reefs of Bonaire as the most pristine in the Caribbean.

ANN ARBORSafe, peaceful, comfortable; unbeatable location on a private sa
Left on 01/23/2013 for a stay in January 2013
We enjoyed our stay in SandDollar a1. The owner and managers are friendly and very helpful. Bonaire itself must be the greatest diving location in the Caribbean, and the location of this condo is right in the center of the action. Many fine restaurants to choose from, we enjoyed a different venue each evening. The condo is ample, well-appointed and comfortable. It was quiet at night and you always felt very safe and secure. We hope to return to snorkel Klein Bonaire again - the best we have ever experienced.

60097Great location, wonderful views, nice accommodations
Left on 11/04/2011 for a stay in October 2011
Rented the 1 bedroom unit for a 1 week stay.
Accommodations are well equipped, spacious and the location on the condo complex is spectacular. There are about 6 buildings that run along the oceanfront, and there is a small beach with water access, and the rest is a retaining wall with ladder access or platform for water access to the ocean for diving, snorkeling, swimming, etc. Unit a-1 is closest in proximity to the beach access, and also closest in proximity to Sunset Bar & Grill next door (just a 30 second walk from the condo). This is nice if you want to meander over for lunch, dinner or drinks and enjoy the sunset at the restaurant.
Sunset B&G; - they have free WiFI, but for those of you who use Safari, I was unable to access. We purchased a Dacquiri and a Pina Colada, and were served small rocks glasses. The two drinks totalled $20, a little on the pricey side but they didn't skimp on the alcohol. Don't go to Bonaire expecting nightlife - you will be disappointed, but most who travel there probably do so to dive anyway.
It is a nice short walk to 'Chat N Browse' in a shopping complex next door (they will give you info on various excursions throughout the island), and next door to them is an ice cream shop, and a small convenience store.
The pool is located behind the complex (no ocean view) situated alongside a restaurant (nice for those who want to sunbathe / swim / and enjoy a poolside drink), and also next to the tennis courts.
We did most of our shopping at The Warehouse (past the Divi Flamingo) as they were better stocked than the nearby smaller grocery stores.
There is ample closet space and storage for clothing, and of course a safe for valuables. The bedroom has a full length mirror and also a vanity for the ladies. The bed is comfortable.
The kitchen is well equipped. The oven is nice (we brought Boboli pizza crusts with us), but seems to run hotter than the temp is set.
The unit is one of few on the property with a screened veranda - nice to watch evening sunsets and a place to enjoy ocean views sipping morning coffee. Because of the rains during our stay, there were more mosquitos than usual, but there was bug spray at the property for those stragglers that happen to sneak in the screened veranda. So, a mosquito coil would be helpful. While a hammock doesn't come with the property rental, they do have hooks on the veranda if you want to bring your own.
We have no complaints in our choice of lodging. The condo is spacious, secure, and a great location, with snorkeling, swimming, and diving water access right out your front door.
We arranged our dives through Bruce Bowker's Carib Inn, and couldn't say enough nice things about this dive operation. The service was top notch and impeccable! (Gary was our divemaster).
We rented a vehicle for our stay - a must to explore the island. We spent our last day driving to the national park.
The condo is just a short drive to/from Kralendjik. -
Snorkel Vacation in Paradise

Left on 07/05/2011 for a stay in April 2011
I searched for "best snorkeling" and came up with Bonaire. I searched for "best condo on reef" and came up with Sand Dollar / Greg Gage. The condo felt like being at home, everything we needed, right down to guidebooks & coolers were all there. Greg was so easy to work with and get everything arranged to make our travel easy. Inge & Renault & Daisy, on-site caretakers were so delightful & helpful.
We are already planning to go back to Bonaire and will not stay anywhere else than a1-Sand Dollar. Thanks Greg, Inge & Renault!!!

Left on 04/17/2011 for a stay in April 2011
Greg's condo is even better than the website indicates. The management team was always available to assist us and answer our questions. The condo is large and very comfortable. We enjoyed the screened patio for breakfast and lunch as well as watching the beautiful sunsets. The bed was extremely comfortable. At our age that is a high priority. The diving and snorkeling in front of the condo are spectacular. We saw baracuda, puffers, cow fish, trumpet fish, lizzard fish, large parrot fish, and even the dreaded lion fish while snorkeling in front of the condo. Although the Sand Dollar Resort shows it's age and needs some real TLC, Greg's condo is a great value. We are considering it for another vacation this fall.

New York City, New YorkExcellent value for the money!
Left on 11/18/2010 for a stay in November 2010
The reservation was seamless. Communication with the owner was via email and it took only a couple emails back and forth. The owner also set up a one-on-one Marine Park Orientation (mandatory for diving) with Rob at Buddy Dive. This made diving very enjoyable as Rob was very informative and helpful.
The condo itself was very spacious especially for 2 people. It had an aC in the bedroom as well as in the living area (which most hotels there do not have). In addition, the enclosed porch made dining enjoyable listening to the ocean waves without getting bit by mosquitoes. The full size kitchen made dining affordable as I made breakfast, lunch and dinner instead of going out to restaurants.
The location is great! We rented a truck so driving from the condo to the dive shop was literally less than 3 minutes. There is a mini market just outside the complex. If you want to go to the supermarket, it’s located in the center of the city (Kralendijk) which is only a 5 min drive.
Overall, the place was very clean and comfortable. The location can’t get better than this. I will definitely be staying here again next year! -

Left on 08/06/2010 for a stay in July 2010
These accommodations were incredible. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook with. The living space was plentiful. The bedroom was nice...bed comfortable. The enclosed porch was wonderful. We ate breakfast and lunch out there every day. We even had appetizers and cocktails overlooking the beach, just steps from the room. We dove with Buddy Dive. Very convenient to drive up and get your tanks. Don't bother with the dive shop right next door...not very friendly. We did very early morning dives right in front of the condo...very convenient. Rinsed gear off at the outdoor shower. At night, we either drove to town...walking was a bit too far...we thought...or we just strolled to a neighboring hotel/restaurant. Greg Gage was very efficient in getting in touch with me every time I. tried to contact him. It was a pleasure dealing with him. I would highly recommend this location to you. You won't be disappointed if you are looking for a private, low key establishment.

SnorkelGirl2
Watertown, MAGreat place for divers or snorkelers
Left on 05/27/2010 for a stay in May 2010
If you are a diver, Unit 1A at the Sand Dollar Condominium can't be
beat. You are right next to the dive shop and pier, where you can step
off the dock into the fantastic Bari Reef and Front Porch, both great
diving and snorkeling. The entire coast here is great!
We were a
little hesitant since this condo is right next to a dive shop and is on
the first floor. But we went in May and there was very little
pedestrian traffic in front of the condo. In high season, it would
probably be much busier. The condo is 50 feet from the water, with a
great view and a huge screened porch. Mosquitoes still can get in (this
is the Caribbean!), but better than an open porch. The condo was
spacious with more than enough room for my husband and myself. The bed
was very comfortable, although I would have liked a sleeping net, since
the mosquitoes love me and always find me at night. After we returned,
Greg Gage told me we could have had a sleeping net, so I should have
asked sooner!
If you want luxury and spotless accommodations, try
something more expensive. If you want a comfortable, easy going, roomy
place to relax out of the sun, right on the water's edge at an
affordable price, this fits the bill.
Greg Gage's representative met
us at the airport and was quite nice. There is a little grocery
nearby, as well as the Sunset Restaurant, Eli Deli, and Chat and Browse
(internet). You can hear the activities at the Sunset Restaurant from
the porch, but it wasn’t offensive or especially loud. You’re
about a mile from downtown, if you need more entertainment than watching
the sunset from your porch. Overall, this is a great place. We will
definitely stay here again.

Trinidad & Tobago"The Ideal Unit".
Left on 03/04/2010 for a stay in December 2009
"Unit A1" - The unit that everyone should look forward to spend quality time. The large insect proof porch (with a comfortable hammock)ofers a panoramic view of not only the ocean but the beautiful grounds as well. Of the four times I visited Bonaire,three were at A1. I look forward to visiting in December 2010 again.
Great Location - one minute to the dive shop and restaurant.
Hats off to the owners. Great job! The "warmth of Bonaire" is experienced in A1.
Many thanks to Greg Gage.
