Find Resorts & Hotels with Spas in Santa Barbara

"Love that the Divi Flamingo Beach hotel and timeshare studios are very close to the water - footsteps from the ocean. The island's waterfront is a bit rocky and watershoes are recommended. The hotel's restaurants were good, the beach bar is heaven at sunset, the resort is walkable to town. The waters are among the best in the world for snorkeling and diving, and safe with no surf or surge. If you want action, nightlife, gambling, golf, go to Aruba. This island is quiet and relaxing, and so is this hotel. "

"Love the place. Love the dives. People are nice. Just needed a light on the bathroom mirror. "

"The service and team there was excellent. Their attention towards us was exceptional. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The property was beautiful. No negative feedback. Only that our kitchen sink had a bad leak and there was a gap between the entry door to our room and the floor. Had to stuff a towel in it to keep mosquitos out. I would definitely recommend staying there. We met many others there who were repeat visitors."

"We stayed in the 2 bedroom royal apartment. The room was perfect. Staff is super friendly and helpful, shore snorkeling was great! My daughters did a scuba lesson and lived it!"

"We enjoyed our stay very much. Next door is a great beach bar and the town is only 10 minutes by car."

"Delightful staff and for a diver, it doesn't get easier or more convenient of an experience. The reef is nice, different than what I expected putting it up against the Red Sea. Different things to see essentially. Red Sea would be more colorful in hard corals and clams while Bonaire has large gorgonians and massive pipe corals where you simply don['t see in Egypt. A very nice 12 day stay. Red Sea would be more of a highly restrictive dive environment. Buddy dive is the polar opposite. Regulation and restriction is at a absolute minimum. Not unsafe, just wonderfully open and free for an AOW diver to simply just come and do his thing. The only negative which almost every hotel falls short on is for longer stays, the beds simply are never comfortable enough. I will return to Buddy Dive when traveling to dive on Bonaire in the future, there is no reason to stay anywhere else. Brock Seals"
