Sorobon Luxury Beach Resort

Sorobon Resort in Bonaire exceeded our expectation and provided our family of four with a super island experience in an environment full of wilderness. From the moment you arrive time slows down and nature takes the stage. The location is unbeatable – right on the amazing Lac Bay with its shallow, crystal-clear waters and gentle breeze. It’s ideal for windsurfing (lessons are available right on site), but also perfect for simply relaxing in the warm water. The private beach is quiet, clean, and equipped with shaded loungers. The accommodations are spacious enough and charming, bringing together true island vibes with modern comfort. Our « beach house » was just steps from the water and had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchenette and a comfy bed. The fold out sofa is ok for kids but may be a little light weight for teenagers. What sets Sorobon apart is the laid-back atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful, always available without being intrusive. We also loved the yoga sessions – a perfect addition to the tranquil setting. Sorobon Resort isn’t your typical commercial hotel – and that’s what makes it special. If you stay a few days, a car rental is a must as the resort is a 15 min drive from the city center.

We are staying at Sorobon Resort in Bonaire. We have only been here 3 days and everything is so wonderful I just had to give it a review now. We came here many times in the past and it got so bad that we stopped staying here. We heard that they completely redid everything so we decided to give it a try. We are so delighted about all of the changes- the bungalows completely upgraded, the lounge chairs and covered beds have new cushions, and an improved restaurant. The food is incredible with a flair in its presentation. One of the best things are the staff. From the moment we walked in everyone was so kind and helpful. I want to recognize one person in particular. His name is Ellis and he is spectacular in everything he does. He really helped us with a problem we had with the lounge beds. He also works in the restaurant. From the first time we met him he has been so kind, helpful and personable. He is everything I would want in an employee. I would highly recommend the Sorobon Beach Resort for anyone coming to Bonaire.

We stayed at Sorobon for a week and had the most lovely time. The staff were extremely professional, kind and considerate. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, modern and located 10 seconds from the beach. We felt like we had the whole resort to ourselves and if we ever needed anything the staff was happy to help. Everyday we enjoyed a beautiful breakfast right on the beach (see photo!) and got to watch the windsurfers do amazing tricks. If you are interested in windsurfing the local school is a 30 second walk and there is a reef full of colorful fish right across the bay. Honestly I wouldnt want to stay anywhere else in the Caribbean! Absolute paradise!

Personally I love Sorobon. I wish it was a bit more affordable. It's probably not for everyone. It's on the other side of the island. There's a few places to eat over there and there's windsurfing. It's pretty quiet for that reason. The food is good at Sorobon. Also good food until 6PM next door at Jibe City. Excellent food nearby at Foodies. If you want a nice apartment on the beach in a very quiet setting, you'll love Sorobon Luxury Beach Resort.

We first booked in March 2021 when this was Sorobon Beach Resort but cancelled owing to travel restrictions during COVID-19 pandemic. The resort has changed hands since and has been nicely renovated and improved. It is now the Sorobon Luxury Beach Resort. We had a premium ocean front beach house with amazing views of the bay. The small well-equipped kitchen is ideal for breakfast and lunch. In the evenings we dined at the Reef Bar where the food is delicious. The electric power sockets in the beach house are the European two-pin socket. I had assumed, in error, that the socket would be an American flat pin type. If you are from UK, please bring an adaptor for 2 round pins. We bought groceries at the Van Den Tweel supermarket in Kralendijk. We asked the front desk to arrange a return trip by taxi as we did not rent a car. Lac Bay is a nature reserve, part of the Bonaire marine park. It is also a windsurfing holiday destination, a perfect place to learn as the water is shallow. The southern half of the bay is waist deep, good for windsurfing. The north and west side of the bay are deeper and better for wing foiling. We rented from the Dunkerbeck Pro Center, a water sports centre at the resort. Resort guests are entitled to 20% discount for rentals by the day. Various lessons are available but these are not discounted. Outside the Sorobon Luxury Resort. Next to the resort is Jibe City, a water sports centre. The popular Hangout Beach Bar is located here. Further along is Sebastian’s Beach Cafe. We had a pizza there. Further north, at the deep end of the bay, is Frans Paradise water sports school and hire centre. This is a better place to do wing foiling as the lagoon is deep and not crowded. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Sorobon Luxury Beach Resort. The location is ideal for enjoying the nature reserve and water sports. It is busy during the day with windsurfers and cruise ship visitors but at night it is tranquil and very relaxing. We like to mention Maria, our friendly room attendant, for her good service.

We had rented golf carts while in port for the day and ended up at the Sorobon Beach Resort for the day. We rented a cabana for a reasonable price and were able to order drinks. The staff was very attentive. We had access to the Reef Bar and enjoyed a very nice lunch. The beach at the resort was amazing with water that was waist high, crystal clear and is famous for kite surfing, which was prominent there. We walked out very far in the crystal water only waist high. The beach was wonderful with day beds, chairs and cabanas. It was a diamond in the rough as we drove the island of Bonaire and happened upon this paradise. I would absolutely return and stay at this lovely resort.
