GREAT ADVENTURES AT HARBOUR VILLAGE
BONAIRE'S BEST KEPT SECRET
Divers visiting Bonaire have traditionally come to expect much more from their actual diving experiences than from their hotel accommodations.
Bonaire's status as one of the top 5 dive destinations in the world seems to draw divers willing to sacrifice creature comforts they'd demand elsewhere.
So prevalent is the image of roughing it on Bonaire, that when Harbour Village first opened Great Adventures, its on-site dive operation, divers couldn't believe it.
A dive
operation? At Bonaire's most luxurious hotel? It can't be a serious
dive operation.Still, as divers began to look beyond the pretty face
of Harbour Village, they discovered that not only is Great Adventures a
serious dive operation, it's one of the island's best.
Given the unparalleled quality of amenities and services available at Harbour Village, the logical misconception to follow was that taking a dive vacation amidst such luxury would warrant out-in-the-ozone rates. Just a peek at all the Great Adventures dive package options to choose from quickly dispels that myth.
Great Adventures at Harbour Village is now considered to be Bonaire's best kept secret.And with good reason. No other resort on the island offers the level of personal attention and professionalism that Great Adventures does.
According to Bill Gleason, publisher of Skin Diver magazine, it's very rare for a luxury hotel on Bonaire to make it to the "dedicated dive resort level of services."
"Harbour Village proves the exception to this rule and
the dive operation, Great Adventures Bonaire, provides an excellent level
of service right on the premises." Gleason writes in the April 1996
edition of Skin Diver.
Take the excellence of the dive operation, add that to luxurious accommodations, a white sand beach, three on-site restaurants, pools, spa, tennis, beautifully designed architecture, lushly landscaped grounds, multiply that by affordable dive package rates. And the sum total is: Bonaire's best kept secret.
