Bonaire: Buddy Dive Resort

$121 For those serious about diving (and even those who aren’t), the best place to stay on Bonaire is the Buddy Dive Resort. The 77 rooms are actually small apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, most with a full kitchen or kitchenette. Stop by the on-site dive shop to gear up, then jump right off the hotel’s dock to explore Bonaire National Marine Park. Courses (from $45) include everything from kiddie scuba in the shallow waters offshore and underwater photography to PADI certifications.

T+L Tip: All that diving will make you hungry. If you want authentic Bonairean food, head to Rose Inn (lunch for two $15) for pan-fried wahoo with a coconut-laced cornmeal pudding.
