ランチョ エル ソブリノ(Rancho El Sobrino)

Beautiful and remote location in the north of the island (Westpunt). Idilic place to rest and just 15 min on foot to Kanepa Grandi beach, one of the best beaches in Curacao.

We recently stayed at this hotel as a couple for my birthday trip, and overall, it was a great experience. The reception staff was extremely helpful, providing us with valuable information about the best beaches to visit. They went the extra mile by assisting my boyfriend in arranging fresh flowers for me and promptly resolving a light that wasn't working in our room. However, there was one minor issue worth mentioning. We decided to have my birthday dinner at the hotel's restaurant, and even though my boyfriend had informed the waiter about the occasion, they didn't acknowledge my birthday or offer a complimentary dessert. It would have been a nice gesture to make the evening more special. Nevertheless, the stay itself was enjoyable, and the owner and receptionist were warm and friendly throughout our time there. Despite the small hiccup at the restaurant, we appreciated the overall excellent service and would consider returning in the future.

I would definitely come back! Stepfany and Marino were cream of the crop! Whatever issue we had, they quickly came to fix. To be honest, I have no complaints. The kitchen was located on our balcony and they also installed an hammock in which one can relax. The mosquitoes did eat me alive during this stay but Stepfany made sure to give me a spray for them. There was also a mosquito net in the room which helped a little. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool but it looked very cleaned. You get your money’s worth and more with this property. It is also located near multiple beaches (including Piskado that has turtles and Forti from where people usually jump off a cliff).

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.

Beautiful small laid back caribbean place

We had the most amazing stay. Bali takes care of the Guest and makes the most amazing Breakfast. Thank you so much, we felt very welcomed because of you! Our Room was very clean and we had everything we could have wished for. Thank you all, we totaly would reccomend you!

Nice and friendly staff. The room had a kitchen and air con. The wifi was a little hit or miss in certain spots in the room but we sat outside in front where they have chairs and a table and it worked real well. They appear to be remodeling and updating the rooms. Overall, I had a good stay.

Very glad that I chose to stay here. The location is perfect, and the vibe is laid back and homey. The staff are all wonderful and helpful. Had a lot of fun meeting other guests.
