Sorobon Luxury Beach Resort

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.

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.

Best location to be right on the water and great access to surfing. Staff are friendly and happy to help with any needs. Not too far from town. Hotel has been massively improved over the years. Overall best place to stay if you love surfing and having fun.

We stayed at Sorobon for a week and had the most lovely time. The staff were extremely professional, kind and considerate. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, modern and located 10 seconds from the beach. We felt like we had the whole resort to ourselves and if we ever needed anything the staff was happy to help. Everyday we enjoyed a beautiful breakfast right on the beach (see photo!) and got to watch the windsurfers do amazing tricks. If you are interested in windsurfing the local school is a 30 second walk and there is a reef full of colorful fish right across the bay. Honestly I wouldnt want to stay anywhere else in the Caribbean! Absolute paradise!
