Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino

The resort and its setting

Divi Flamingo Beach Resort & Casino is a beachfront property on Julio A. Abraham Boulevard in Kralendijk, Bonaire's small, easygoing capital. Google reviewers rate it 4.2 out of 5 from nearly 1,200 reviews, and Google's own summary describes it as a "breezy beachfront resort offering 2 restaurants & a beach bar, plus a spa & a dive center." That mix — casual dining steps from your room, a spa for downtime, and a dedicated dive operation on site — gives a good sense of who the resort suits: travellers who want to roll out of bed and into the water, rather than shuttle between a hotel and a marina each morning.

As part of the Divi Resorts group, the property follows a familiar beachfront-resort layout, with the Caribbean Sea essentially on the doorstep and Kralendijk's small-town pace close by.

Kralendijk and things to do

Bonaire is built around the water, and Kralendijk is no exception. The town itself is walkable, with waterfront restaurants, a small cruise pier, and shops selling dive gear and local crafts. Bonaire's coastline is protected as a marine park, and the island is consistently ranked among the Caribbean's top shore-diving destinations — many sites are accessible straight from the roadside, which is part of why a resort with its own dive center, like Divi Flamingo, appeals to repeat visitors. Beyond diving and snorkelling, expect windsurfing, kayaking through mangrove channels, and birdwatching, since Bonaire is well known for its wild flamingo population. The island's unhurried, low-rise character means days tend to be built around the water and the outdoors rather than nightlife or big attractions.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Divi Flamingo Beach Resort and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or as a rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers and renters searching for this resort, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to publish their week, and that's the only cost involved.

Before you price your week, contact Divi Resorts (or the resort's owners' association, if it's managed separately) to confirm two things: the current transfer fee for moving the deed or contract into a new owner's name, and the annual maintenance fee for your unit size and season. Ask whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, as many branded resorts do, and get the typical turnaround time for processing a transfer in writing. These details affect how you price the week and what you should disclose to a buyer up front, so it's worth having them confirmed before your listing goes live.

A resale buyer should understand that they are typically purchasing the remaining usage rights tied to your contract or deed — not a new agreement with the resort — and that any resort-run perks or current promotions tied to buying directly from the developer generally do not carry over to a resale purchase. Spell out exactly what is (and isn't) included — week number, unit size, season, and whether it's a fixed or floating week — so buyers know precisely what they're bidding on.

What renters typically look for

Short-term renters booking a week at a beachfront, dive-oriented resort like this one usually ask about proximity to the water and dive center access, whether the unit sleeps their group comfortably, and what's within walking distance in Kralendijk. Being specific about your unit's view, floor, and distance to the restaurants and beach bar will help your rental listing stand out to the right traveller.

Practical notes

Bonaire lies outside the main Caribbean hurricane belt, unlike many neighbouring islands, which makes it a reasonably steady year-round destination, though travellers should always check current conditions before booking. The resort's address — 40 Julio A. Abraham Boulevard, Kralendijk — places it directly in town, within walking distance of restaurants and shops, which is worth highlighting to both buyers and renters.
