We had dinner at Rum Runners after a long day of diving. On that particular night, the only food served was a barbeque buffet or pizza. We all elected to do the buffet which was nicely prepared. The salad was simple, but did the job. The ribs, satay, and grilled chicken on the bone was fantastic. The grilled chicken breast... More

Food was great -and Kelvin provided excellent. From out table we could watch the tarpon swimming in the crystal clear water. Be sure and get there during happy hour-you have to order drinks from the bar-not the wait staff in order to get the happy hour prices

This was an excellent happenstance for me and my group for a lunch one day on a surface interval between dives at their reef or dive area. We were staying at Buddy Dive, next door, and decided to check our "Cliffs" dive site which can be accessed from their dive entry area if you head right on your dive. We... More

The restaurant is reasonably priced and if you reserve a table you might ask to sit next to the water. We saw many larger fish swim by as we ate dinner providing some pretty cheap entertainment! The food was average but with only one visit I would hesitate to say this is the case with every meal. It seemed to... More

Breakfast buffet that was included in our package was perfect and the morning staff are wonderful. Lunch is average, and we found dinner to be very high priced for what you get, and the dinner service and food is average at best. The pizza is very good, however.

We have tried them all over the past 25 years (being sure to repeat places over the years to make sure Rum Runners is still the best) and Rum Runners all you can eat BBQ buffet is still by far the best BBQ buffet on the island. Their satay sauce is amazing, meats (steak, pork skewers, chicken breasts, fish fillets)... More

We came here on our first night in Bonaire. We were staying in nearby Sabedeco and were hungry after a full day of travel. The place was quite busy and we were fortunate to get a table. The sound of the surf was very relaxing. Two of us ordered pizza which was quite decent while my sons ordered calamari and... More

My favorite meals were the barbeque on Monday night and excellent pizza any night that you wish. We tried several of their entrees and liked the pizza and filet mignon best. Both the pizza and filet mignon are best buys. The pizza feeds two for about $12 to $20, and for about $24 you get a large, delicious, double portion... More

Attached to Captain Don's Habitat, this has a lovely water front location where you can watch the divers coming and going, watch the sunset, watch the tarpon hoping for handouts, etc. Pizza was ok, but not exciting. The service is friendly and relaxed - aka inattentive and slow - so we decided not to make a fuss that they brought... More

Wonderful place to watch the tarpon at night- food is good- all outdoor dining-if you wany an intimate location they have 2 areas that are blow the main eating area . These 2 areas are vry close to the water(which has underwater lighting) so that you can see all the fish while having a candlelight dinner.
