Comments We've stayed at Captain Don's several Times. We had a Junior Suite which includes a coffee pot, microwave, fridge, minimal utensils and dishes and a sink. If you're not picky about what you eat, its possible to make it the entire week without eating out.
Just go to one of the many grocery stores and stock up on cheese, chips, eggs and sandwich stuff.

It's Bonaire, so the diving for small stuff is still good. However, we've been going there since the mid 1990s and the deterioration of the reefs and fish life are evident.
