106.0. "Sorobon Beach Resort" by BANZAI::WASSERMAN (Deb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863) Fri Sep 09 1988 13:36

    Has anyone ever been to the Sorobon Beach Resort in Bonaire?  I
    was wondering what it was like.  We've been to Club Orient, which
    was *very* nice, but expensive.  The person at Naturist Travel said
    people who have been to Club Orient usually don't like Sorobon as
    much because it's not as "clean" as St. Martin.  (don't know exactly
    what she meant by that).

106.2We visited Sorobon a few years agoKAHOTK::FRIDAYWed Sep 14 1988 18:0913
    We visited Bonaire a few years ago and visited Sorobon.
    General impressions of Bonaire are in note 23 of JPOIND::HOLIDAY_TRAVEL
    (KP7 or SELECT). Our visit to Sorobon was for a day and it was not
    crowded at all.  We know people who have started going to Sorobon
    and prefer it to Club Orient.  However, the cuisine on Bonaire cannot
    compare, we've been told, with that of St. Martin's.
    We are not very demanding of vacation accommodations: if they're
    basically clean and the people are polite we're happy, but others
    might not be as happy with Sorobon.  Give a call if you'd like to
    talk about Sorobon and Bonaire (Dtn 291-9597).

106.3SOROBON - FIRST TIMEABACUS::CCHANDLERSun Apr 15 1990 10:1616
    Just returned from Bonaire, and stayed eight days at Sorobon. This was
    a first time for us at a nude resort. My wife stating, as she was
    unsure if she could handle it. Well, we were there fifteen minutes, and
    whos the first one running aroud the beach? Right.. I had trouble to
    get her to put her suit on, so I could take pitures to bring home. The
    resort is very clean and the beach is about the best on the island. If
    you want a relaxing vacation, without crowds, and no pressure, this is
    the place to go. Everybody is so nice (guests & staff). We also took
    the nude cruise that was available for guests of Sorobon. This was a
    great time, with lunch and stopping for snorkling. Eight days of the
    most perfect weather you could ask for. Well, next year it will be for
    two weeks and I'm ready to return now. Drop a line, if you want any
    information, and I'll fill you in with all the material I returned
    with.

106.4Sorobon no longer naturist?NOVA::WASSERMANDeb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863Wed Aug 21 1991 12:335
    I recently called the travel agent that books Club Orient and Sorobon
    to ask about winter rates for Sorobon.  They told me that they weren't
    booking Sorobon past the end of the summer because of the possibility
    of the resort being sold to non-naturists :-(  If anyone has any further
    info, please post it.

    I talked to the booking agent for Sorobon who told me that Sorobon
    isn't really recommended if planning only a short stay (less than a
    week) because of the travel time (Probably the whole day and flight 
    changes).  Has anyone else had any experience with this?
