Basic small inn, pool not available and in a neighborhood away from the water. We had a conflict over the rate they were charging versus what we were quoted via email and they tried to charge a surcharge to use our credit card. Instead of trying to resolve it, Rene became enraged and told us to leave with 2 nights... More

This place is great value for the price. The regular room was cozy and all areas of the property were very clean. It was a good place to crash after a long day of activities on the island. The pool area and the dining area were cool places to hang out and meet other travelers. If you are looking for... More

My husband and I just spent a week staying with Rene at The Lizard Inn and doing our diving at Dive Friends Yellow Submarine location. Rene was great at responding to all of my emails quickly before our arrival and arranged a driver to meet us at the airport for our arriving flight early in the morning. The rooms are... More

The owner of this hotel do not know how to treat clients. He really need to go back to school. Having a nice hotel is not the only thing, if you don't know how to treat your guess in a proper manner, you better close this hotel. Knowing how to do it you are making good advertising without paying anything.... More

The Lizard Inn's property is fine. A simple budget place--exactly what a lot of people are looking for. Aside from very hard beds, it's fine. Our problem was Rene the owner. He was quite curt in an email exchange, and then downright weird on a few occasions during our stay. He snapped at us for leaving two beer bottles in... More

We were really happy with our weeklong stay at the Lizard Inn. It definitely deserves all the good reviews it gets: clean, secure, quiet, fair price, good wifi, adequate kitchen in the studio, good proximity to town. But it is Rene (owner/operator) who really makes the Lizard a unique spot. It was clear to us from day one that Rene... More

We stayed at the Lizard Inn for 5 nights in June 2012. I would describe it as a great value for budget-conscious travelers or those who don't like or need an all-inclusive. We had our activities planned out and were prepared to buy groceries for breakfast and lunch, so what we wanted was a nice, quiet place to come home... More

We spent an amazing Honeymoon week at the Lizzard Inn. Rene and Annamieka are wonderful people that put their lives and passions right back into the Lizzard Inn. Clean, comfortable, and very welcoming! We felt safe the entire time there, even walking to and from the beach and downtown at night. Bonaire is the diver's paradise and the is place... More
