Divi Flamingo Beach Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Divi Flamingo Beach Resort is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare property in Kralendijk, Bonaire's low-key capital. Owners hold a week at the resort itself, with the option to use RCI to exchange into other affiliated resorts worldwide rather than return to Bonaire every year. It's a straightforward vacation ownership setup: no sprawling resort chain behind it, just a Kralendijk property with an exchange network attached.

Kralendijk and the Island of Bonaire

Kralendijk is a compact, walkable town, and the resort's position puts owners close to the harbor, local restaurants and everyday shops rather than out on an isolated resort strip. Bonaire itself is built around its surrounding waters: Bonaire National Marine Park protects the reefs that ring the island, and much of the coastline lets snorkelers and divers walk straight in from shore. Further afield, Washington Slagbaai National Park covers the island's rugged north, with hiking trails and wildlife for anyone who wants a day away from the water. Flamingo Airport is a short hop from the resort, with connections through Curaçao and Aruba as well as direct flights from North America.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Divi Flamingo Beach Resort and are ready to move on, or simply want to rent it out some years, BidMyTimeshare.com is a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers, and that's the full extent of the cost to you.

Because Divi Flamingo Beach Resort is independently managed rather than part of a branded chain, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate resale department. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort: the transfer fee charged to move the deed or contract into the new owner's name, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process typically takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. A resale buyer takes on the ownership and usage rights tied to the week itself, along with ongoing maintenance fee obligations — they do not inherit any loyalty perks, promotions or add-ons the original owner may have received when buying from the resort. If RCI membership is transferable, it's a separate membership fee and enrollment step on the buyer's side, so confirm that with RCI directly rather than assuming it carries over automatically.

Renters, meanwhile, are mostly looking for straightforward things: confirmed dates, a clear week or unit size, and proximity to the water — all of which are worth stating plainly in your listing description.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

Bonaire requires a tourist card, applied for online in advance of travel, along with a valid passport. The US dollar is the local currency, which simplifies budgeting for American owners and renters. The island sits outside the hurricane belt, so weather is generally stable, though September through November brings occasional rain. A rental car is useful for reaching Washington Slagbaai and other sites outside Kralendijk, though taxis cover the town and harbor area well. Divers and snorkelers don't need certification to enjoy the shore sites, but several local operators offer courses for anyone who wants to go further.
