    Since 1980, and throughout the many changes, we still love going downtown in Oranjestad.

    The Dutch Caribbean's Hottest Destination

    Good afternoon everybody,

    Two weeks into the new year and I hope everyone is doing well.

    According to today's edition of Caribbean Journal, the hottest destination in the Dutch Caribbean is Bonaire. Had it mentioned Aruba, this thread would not be in the off-topic section of the forum.

    As with so many things I see in CJ, I cannot give any kind of an opinion on this as I have never been to Bonaire but I would love to read the opinions of those forum members who have been there.

    Have a great weekend everyone.

    We love Bonaire but it is maybe the hottest destination for snorkelers or scuba diver.
    Under water Bonaire is glorious.
    THINK.. is it Thoughtful? Helpful? Inspirational? Necessary? Kind? sidtm

    I used to read CJ, but it seemed like it had some bias. Now I think it is all about $$$.

    "The continued buzz has put the rest of the region, particularly the Dutch Caribbean, on notice, as a destination that is attracting a dynamic mix of adventurers and divers and high-income travelers while maintaining its lack of pretentiousness and its carefree, happy-go-lucky vibe."

    Somebody alert the rest of the Dutch Caribbean and, the Caribbean, in general. "You should be shakin' in your boots, St. Martin..."
