A Very relaxing stay. with a nice room, pool. The Stay was Really Great… The Room was perfect. It was fresh and Clean!.. The pool was excellent and very Relaxing. I recommend Everyone to go to Rancho el Sobrino. And The prices are incredibly Good.

Recently spent a few nights at El Rancho. I arrived way before check in but the helpful manager/care taker checked me in early. Room was a decent size and nicely furnished. Agreeable balcony/veranda overlooking the pool, complete with basic kitchen and fridge. It's located fairly close to one beach with another within walking distance. Though everyone rents a car if they come up here. Except me, apparently. It was easily reachable by bus from Willemstad. 10 min walk from the stop. My only issues with the place perhaps relate to me not having a car. I considered giving 3/5 but decided on 4 as I know that the vast majority will have their own transport. The issues are these: There are no shops up here at Westpunt AT ALL. The only option the buy anything is from a Chinese 'restaurant'/dive bar (snickers, potato chips etc). The hotel has nothing to sell you outside of the restaurant's limited opening times. I asked to buy water and was told to drink from the tap. There is no breakfast served. And nowhere to buy breakfast anywhere around (you'll need to drive to a supermarket a way away and stock up). Restaurant staff were not particularly friendly, helpful or service minded. I was going to dive with the onsite dive shop (a separate entity for which I have only praise). I asked to order an extra meal at dinner time so I could have something to eat the following morning. I was told that I was not allowed to order takeaway food... mind blown. One important thing to mention is how dangerous the shower potentially is. If you turn the tap all the way to hot and turn on the water (IT WILL SERIOUSLY BURN YOU!). So take care. In a nutshell: This is a nice spot but the lack of access to food and water is annoying. I asked for a big bottle of water in the restaurant and they just brought me a half liter. These issues that I experienced will obviously be lessened by having your own vehicle.

We were very happy with the location. It was soothingly quiet with lot of nice beaches around and places to visit or breathtaking dive sites. The personnel of the hotel was very friendly and reachable at any time. They go beyond offering standard hotel services and make you feel at home. Mrs. Bianca at the reception was very accommodating and made our booking and any changes to it easy for us. The hotelkeeper Mr. Balie went all out to supply us with everything we needed. He was always available and ready to assist in any way he could to make our stay a pleasant one. He was honest, friendly and accommodaing. This resort is highly recommended for anyone who wants to have a quiet holiday away from typical crowded hotels or beaches. Hopefully our second visit to this resort will be successful soon.
