Rancho El Sobrino

The Stay was Really Great, beautifull Room so fresh so Clean! The pool is exellent and a flex way of Relaxing. I reommend Everybody to go to Rancho el Sobrino. The prices are incredible Good. They have also a restaurant you can visit at afternoon!

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.

Schone kamers maar niet echt luxe maar de prijs/kwaliteit is prima. Het personeel is erg viendelijk. De kamers zijn voorzien van airconditioning wat heel prettig. Het restaurant op het terrein is geen onderdeel van het resort hetgeen het lastig maakt om met ze te schakelen voor een reservering. In de buurt van het resort hebben ze verschillende restaurants waar het eten erg lekker is. De kamer komt met een kleine keuken en balkon dus je hebt de keuze om zelf te koken of sowieso rustig wakker worden met een bakkie koffie op het balkon. Al met al een geslaagde weekend.
