King Suite Ocean
First-floor suite with a king bed, Caribbean Sea views and a balcony for the sunset.
Van der Valk Plaza Beach & Dive Resort is the closest Bonaire comes to a full-service resort: beachfront in the Belnem corridor just south of Kralendijk, with three pools, a private marina, a PADI dive centre with its own house reef, the live-cooking restaurant Momento, and the island's one proper all-inclusive option. It's also home to the monthly Michelin Plaza Invites dinners and sells day passes if you're staying elsewhere. Below are the room types, grouped by category — book direct on the resort's own site.

Good to know
- All-inclusive: Plaza is Bonaire's main all-inclusive address — the upgrade covers meals and drinks across the resort, including Momento's live-cooking dinners.
- Diving on site: a PADI dive centre, house reef and tank station mean you can dive from your doorstep. See diving on Bonaire.
- Getting around: it's a short hop from town, but you'll still want wheels to explore the island.
- Nature fee: everyone entering the water needs the STINAPA Nature Tag, house reef included.
FAQ
Is Plaza Resort Bonaire all-inclusive?
It offers Bonaire's main all-inclusive option as an upgrade on most room types — a rarity on an island with essentially no all-inclusive scene. You can also book room-only.
Does Plaza Resort Bonaire have a dive centre?
Yes — a PADI dive centre with a house reef and tank station on site, so you can dive straight from the resort. Nature Tag required like everywhere.
Can non-guests use Plaza Resort Bonaire?
Yes, via a day pass (pools, beach, restaurant) — details on our beach clubs & day passes page. The monthly Plaza Invites Michelin dinners are also open to non-guests.
