Late morning: Ocean time made easy
Snorkel directly from the private pier
Step from the sand to the sea. Our private shoreline features a pier that offers direct entry for snorkeling. The seabed here is naturally rocky, so water shoes are recommended. You’ll be exploring in minutes—no transfer required.
Poolside play for every age
With three outdoor pools open year‑round from sunrise until sunset, you can switch between sunning and swimming as you please. Families love the dedicated kids’ pool, while adults gravitate to the pool with the swim‑up bar for a carefree refresh.
Midday to afternoon: Choose adventure or ease
Go deeper with Dive Friends Bonaire
When you’re ready to explore below the surface, our on‑site dive center is operated by Dive Friends Bonaire. Bonaire boasts more than 85 easily accessible reef sites, and the team can help plan shore dives or boat excursions. Dedicated storage lockers let you secure your gear between dives, keeping your day lightweight and flexible.
Quick note: Night diving is intended for experienced divers. If you’re considering an after‑dark adventure, speak with the dive center about prerequisites and conditions.
Lunch on property: from beach‑casual to chef‑driven
Stay in the flow with lunch steps from the sand. On‑site options include:
- Brass Boer
- Café Koló
- Club Tropicana BBQ at the Beach
- Club Tropicana Beach Brasserie
- Fresku
- Food stands along Delfins Boulevard
Expect French, international, and Caribbean dishes alongside clearly labeled vegetarian, vegan, gluten‑free, and dairy‑free choices.
Pool interlude and happy hour
Return to the water or stake out a lounger. As afternoon drifts toward evening, take advantage of happy hour at the resort’s bars. One of our pools features a swim‑up bar—sip without leaving the water.
Late afternoon: Reset with wellness, refresh with comforts
Beach Spa treatments
Unwind at the Beach Spa with:
- Relaxation Massage (50 or 80 minutes)
- Deep Tissue Massage (50 or 80 minutes)
Couples massages are available within the resort’s two‑, three‑, and four‑bedroom accommodations.

Golden‑hour drinks and live music
As the sun dips, find your spot on the private beach or by the pools. Check the Resort Agenda for scheduled Live Music/Performance evenings and upcoming events—they’re guest favorites for a reason. Happy hour adds a festive note to the golden hour.
Dinner your way
For dinner, choose from our Dine & Drink venues, including Brass Boer, Club Tropicana BBQ at the Beach, Club Tropicana Beach Brasserie, Café Koló, Fresku, and the casual food stands on Delfins Boulevard.

After dark: A rare natural light show (experienced divers)
A few days after each full or new moon, small‑group guided night dives can be arranged so guests can witness the ostracod light display—a bioluminescent courtship spectacle visible as fleeting light trails in the water. These dives are for experienced night divers; speak with the dive center to confirm readiness and availability.
