Amazing food and service! The grilled chicken club was so tasty! 🤤 😋 Also, loved the view of the water from this place! Highly recommend this place to others! 😁

Amazing! We arrived at the Cruise Port and rented a golf cart to see the island on our own time. The food here was fantastic. The beach was fairly calm and not overly crowded. We were able to rent chairs for $10 per chair. The chairs are all lined up in rows on one side of the beach but it worked fine. Unfortunately it rained most of the time but we made it work. Would spend more time here during future visits!

We had an absolute blast at Sebastian, as DJ Jasper mixed some awesome tunes! Food was ok, drinks well priced, service was outstanding, but the water colors, just spectacular!!!

We visited on the wrong day... But that shouldn't change your experience if you are a good business. I don't know how to set the atmosphere the right way without sounding weird, so I'll just say it. Yes, I'm from the USA. No, not my first time on Bonaire. And I have proudly never been on a cruise. We visited Sebastians while waiting for our windsurf lesson. We usually do Jib City and the Beach bar but wanted to try something new and a little more 'upscale'esque. It happened to be on a cruise day... A cruise coming from the US. So, we were immediately treated as if we were from the cruise (this was everywhere, not just Sebastians) and this is a totally different level of service than if you are not a cruise visitor. Our server was nice enough when taking our order. We were really put off by being asked to pay up front before getting our food (and not to mention we tip... Which should be based on the full service) because that's what they do on cruise days. Id honestly rather give you my child for collateral before paying upfront for a sit down meal. The food came out at at different times. Was a bit pricey compared to other spots along the beach and was not better in quality. My cocktail tasted different than my friends, even though we ordered the same thing (it needed a lime, that simple). I couldn't grab a servers attention to adjust because (drumroll) we had already paid and there was no reason left to pay attention to us. It was honestly the most underwhelming food and cocktail and terrible service I have had on Bonaire in 5 years of visiting. Will not be back.

We we're on our lounge chairs when another customer tripped over a wire that they have connecting all the lounges together. He scraped his knee up pretty bad and was bleeding. My wife asked a young man who was a server to help her move part of the planks that they have in the sand (used as a boardwalk to get to the ocean) to cover the wire so that no one would get hurt again. The server told her that he couldn't do it and that was the responsibility of his boss . We asked him to get his boss and he replied "I don't know where he is he's never here." My wife moved the plank over the wire and kicked a bunch of sand under it to make it level herself. All the time the server just watched her do it. Unacceptable. Later, my wife ordered a beer from our lounge chairs. At least 15 minutes passed and still no beer. We walked to the bar to find out where her beer was and sure enough there was one sitting on the bar. The server said yes that is yours. Well if it was hers, why didn't they bring it to her? Crazy! Later My wife and I sat down at a table and waited about 15 minutes before we had to go find someone to take our order. The server, it seems like she didn't know what she was doing or maybe she's new, I don't know. We already had drinks from earlier so we just wanted a couple cups of water and we also ordered a pizza and a sandwich. About 10 minutes after ordering, the server came back and said that we needed to pay for our food ahead of time. This seemed odd to us but I think that this is their policy as it happened when we ordered drinks from our beach lounges earlier in the day. We agreed to pay and there seemed to be an issue with their portable card reader so the service said that she would return with another. 5 minutes later she finally returned and we were able to pay. By the way, we still didn't have our Waters yet. We asked the server several times to bring us water and she told us that the bartenders were "making them." Huh? Making waters? Anyway, our food arrived after another 15 minutes and I decided to go to the bar to get the waters myself. They just seemed very unorganized. And we noticed some of the servers busting their tails and others not so much. Maybe it all had to do with how busy they were, but 30 minutes for two glasses of water, that's excessive. And the attitudes of some of the kids that work there need improving. This review is only for the restaurant. The beach and other facilities were on par.
