Bruce Bowker's Carib Inn
Carib Inn is a longtime favorite among divers and loyal return visitors, perched right on the water just south of downtown Kralendijk. It blends a warm, homey vibe with solid dive support, making it a go-to for travelers who like things simple and personal. The boutique resort offers basic studios and one-bedroom apartments many with kitchens plus private cottages with AC, all looking out over the garden or sea. Divers love the direct pier access and easy boat trips, while non-divers appreciate the relaxed setting and come-as-you-are feel that makes Carib Inn feel like a second home.
