More Pics From the Divi Flamingo

Our balcony was right on the water. Waves crashed gently against the rocks, which were homes for countless crabs. In the background is the Divi Bar Pier. The blue sailboat in the distance is permanently anchored at Divi's house reef: Calabas Reef.















The boat belongs to the Divi Dive Shop. At the end of the day, they dock three of their boats here and then swim back to shore.














This iguana was hanging out just a few feet from our balcony!
























Here's Suzanne standing next to the sign that explains where everything is. Most of the rooms, a pool, and dive dock 1 are to the left. To the right, you'll see the in-house Hertz car rental center, the day spa, the Divi Dive Shop and dive dock 2 (Calabas Reef), and the Divi Flamingo's two restuarants: Chibi Chibi and the Calaba's Restaurant. Next to the day spa is a gift shop called De Palms, which is owned by Lutty--a great divemaster that works at the Divi Dive Shop. His last name is De Palm and he also creates some really nice jewelry out of gold and silver!

Also to the right is the Divi Flamingo Casino. It's tiny compared to Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or even casinos that you'll find in Aruba. There are four blackjack tables ($5 min/$200 max), a roulette table, and a bunch (40-50 maybe?) of slot/video poker machines. It is currently the only casino on Bonaire, although the Plaza Resort will have their casino up and running by the end of March 2006.
