A nice place to stay.
It is a great place to stay at a reasonable price. Close to so many beaches and restaurants. It is not the Ritz, but just a nice, comfortable, clean place to stay. It also has a full kitchen with utensils. I would say the only thing missing would be a microwave. It also has a lovely pool. Be sure to buy groceries in Willemstad before driving there as there is only one mini market somewhere in town ( we didn’t see it).

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).

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 laid back and friendly
We arrived in the late afternoon and were given a free upgrade to an apartment suite. The hotel was filled with mostly German tourists. The desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The suite was very comfortable and clean, but there was no maid or towel during our five day stay. The hotel is charming, painted in vibrant colors. The pool was spotless. The restaurant had very good local food reasonably priced, especially at breakfast. Many outsiders came for meals. Service was island style, one customer at a time. The hotel is not right on a beach, but several are a five minute walk. Were were there to snorkel, and the best beaches, also very sandy, were a 5-10 minute drive. Best were Santa Cruz, Lagun, Kleine Knip and Kenapa. We rented with Alamo/National at the airport for $37/day. The drive to Westpunt was about 40 minutes, and very scenic. We visiting the capital for shopping and sightseeing, as well as two nearby national parks and a local landhuis. We generally had breakfast and lunch at the hotel, and ate out most nights. We best liked Sol and Tres Pinotti nearby and De Bruyer Cafe in Williamsted.

Convenient location at a fair price
This is a good and more affordable alternative to the more expensive "water front" options, the location is excellent if you want to stay on the west end (which is highly recommended). The restaurant was a bit disappointing, the food was OK but they had no white wine when the special was grouper, and they said they couldn't make any cocktails. The swimming pool didn't look very inviting, but then, who needs a pool when you have a beautiful beach just a couple of minutes walk from the hotel? The kitchenette was very handy and we cooked most of our meals after we managed to find a mini market open. Friendly staff, overall a good experience that I would have no problem recommending for those who are not seeking extra comfort and amenities.

Unique Part of North Curacao Island.
Rancho El Sobrino was a pleasant place to meet local people and watch the spectacular sunset from your western room window, see the wonderful views at West Punt Village from the restaurant overlooking a picture perfect bay below with fishing boats offering fresh fish for sale. In particular at Rancho El Sobrino was the excellent food and ambiance of an open air restaurant and balcony with a wide variety on the menu. The food was beautifully presented by the young chef, served with a smile by young waitresses who spoke several languages fluently. The reception staff and owner were especially impressive with their attentiveness and hospitality. The clean pool was a joy to youth with its water slide and cool water. It was a positive experience at an affordable price !

A good option for budget travellers
I chose Rancho El Sobrino based on price and the fact that there were limited kitchen facilities so I could self-cater. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the place had a lovely family feel about it. The place is a bit tacky and wouldn't suit a luxury traveller, but it was simple and clean and down-to-earth. There was a fridge, toaster, kettle and sink in my room, and a restaurant on site. However, there are no shops within walking distance, so if you are planning to self-cater you either need to have a car or go shopping beofre you leave Wilhelmstaat. There is a small swimming pool, but there is a beach within walking distance, so I didn't use it.
