"Sorobon is a great place to stop and grab a drink or enjoy some lunch. We came twice during our visit to Bonaire and had a positive experience both times.
The first time we visited was during a day the cruise ship was in, and so it got quite busy with day tripper’s coming in. We ended up at a spot at the bar “reef bar” for a couple of drinks. It was an easy walk to get to from the main entrance and allowed for a beautiful spot to watch the surfers on the water. The bartenders were really friendly and kind to us and prices were fair.
We decided to come back later that week for lunch. It was our last full day in Bonaire, and a Friday, so we opted to have a table just off the beach to enjoy some lunch and watch the surfers on the water. We both ordered delicious meals and the portion sizes were plenty filling. I believe there was a shift change or someone went on break, as our waitress was gone for some time between our drinks and ordering our meal (we were the first people to arrive). We still enjoyed our time and meal there and would still recommend visiting."

"A lot of turquoise color. White, sandy beach. Wind will make you to try surfing if you never did. Good vibes and lot of people (especially people from the cruise). Definitely worth it."
