    Location is quite good. We appreciated the clean pool, comfy pillows and the clothes line to hang our wet beachwear on. The room was clean, shower was hot and water pressure great. The staff are very helpful. The kitchen has minimal cookware and utensils and no running hot water but a kettle was provided to heat water for dishes.

    It was totally hot in the room when we arrived. So sad that nobody turned on the air-conditioning before although we said the exact time of our arrival. The cleaning maid (nice person) always left open the door while cleaning. So thousands of mosquitos entered our room. After telling her and the woman at the reception it didn't go better. Annoying.

    Everybody friendly! Restaurant with tasty food! Sliding at the pool was fun. Room was beautiful.

    Our front door was sticky so if your hands were full the door was a little inconvenient but definitely not a major issue

    Location is quite far from the airport. And in a quiet part of the island. A rental car is strongly recommended

    The staff is very kind. You can rent a car at the property , which is highly recommended if you want to explore Westpunt. They can also arrange a transfer to the airport. Amazing beaches around, Kalki, Knips… if you don’t mind to walk, beaches are not that far.

    We had a great time and enjoyed staying here, as the beautiful beaches were easy to reach by foot / with a car. The staff was super friendly. Easy check-in and check-out. The room had everything that we needed, was spacious and clean. We had great time chilling in the hammocks in our balcony as well as in the pool. A few nice restaurants nearby made the stay even more enjoyable. Would love to visit again in the future. Thank you!

    We loved our time at Rancho El Sobrino. Our room was clean and fairly spacious with a kitchen and dining area, a small balcony and good size bathroom. A/C worked well and the bed was very comfortable. The pool area was great for relaxing and the water was sparkling clean. We even met a couple of kitties that live on the property, Wilson, Ginger and Burrito and there is an on-site dive shop if you want to try scuba diving. The restaurant, Cactus Cafe, which is not owned by the property, was unbelievably exceptional. The food was amazing.

    Our wifi didn't work in our room for half of our stay. My partner informed the staff within an hour of noticing, and they seemed unable to address the issue. This disabled the TV in the room as well. The shower pressure and temperature was overall good but unreliable (heat cut out completely, albeit briefly, during a couple of showers) and the drain didn't work well, so we'd be standing in at least an inch of water by the end of the shower. Luckily the threshold is high enough that it didn't leak outside of the shower, but this still isn't ideal. While it was great to have a kitchenette during our stay (note limited vegetarian entrees at most nearby restaurants), we found some of the pots to be in very rough shape and dirty. There also is no way to cool down the upstairs (kitchen and dining area). There was only a small ceiling fan upstairs and while using the stovetop, the heat would get pretty brutal. Hotel policy charges $20 if you leave the air conditioning on while outside of the room. We also couldn't get into the room for the first 30+ minutes. While this didn't bother us and we just went for a quick swim down the road, this doesn't fulfill typical expectations for accommodation. We had informed them ahead of time of our estimated arrival time of 5:30 PM and the front desk typically closes at 5 PM, so we were already a relatively late check-in.

    Overall we had a great stay! The rooms were clean, bed comfortable, air conditioning worked well (for the first floor at least), and the staff were friendly. The on-site restaurant is excellent- as others have mentioned, try to make reservations and the African peanut soup is a must-try! Although there isn't direct access to the beach from the hotel, you're a few minute drive from several beautiful beaches and 10-15 minute drive from two national parks. They cleaned our room after 3 days, including doing the dishes, and fixed a dead outlet we had notified them of. We didn't use the pool at all, but it looked clean and inviting. Parking was straightforward (small cars help navigate the small lot though).

    The first room had ants. The second room was much better but the hotel overall needs some updating.

    Renoushka took great care of us. We were not happy with our original room and wanted to leave Rancho el Sobrino. Renoushka offered us a different room and made our stay very enjoyable.

    Given the end of rainy season, there is a crazy amount of mosquitoes and unfortunately the mosquito net over the bed was not the best allowing many mosquitoes to bother us at night. That should be fixed. Take repellent with you from Willemstad as you won't find it anywhere in westpunt.

    Good value for money. Very well located in Westpunt, walking distance to some restaurants and nearby beaches. There is a diving school and a restaurant in the premises which I also recommend. Very chilled environment and fully equipped apartments.

    There is no reception available to help you - they blame covid? You need to whatsapp message someone and they take days to respond. First night our air con stopped working midway through the night - no problem these things happen but we want it fixed as we are paying for aircon. We are told we cannot move in to another room but we can go to another bed on the property to sleep but need to spend our time in the room? One day was wasted with people in our room dismantling the aircon but still not fixing it while we are sitting around waiting. After multiple discussions we are moved to a new room. We had to threaten to leave and request our money back before they tried to resolve anything. We are told while moving into the other room to take our towels with us and not to use the aircon when we aren't in the room and don't use the sheets in the other spare bed. Common sense things I would have thought but overly pushing this we are a budget hotel vibe. Both rooms were filthy, unswept floors, bugs squished all over the walls, ants all over the kitchen, cockroaches squished on the floor. The "Double bed" is actually two single beds pushed together. You are provided with one half toilet roll and a tablespoon of dish liquid when you check in, don't use this up as you do not get more for the rest of your stay. When I asked the owner for a refill they told me this is a budget accomodation and I should expect such, even though they provide toilet paper as a service on the booking.com services list. Before we checked out the hotel cancelled our reservation on booking.com to try and prevent paying booking.com the fees and a $35 USD reward that was part of the incentive to book in the first place.

    Good location in West Punt Nice swimming pool if the guy didn't stay there watching you the whole time. We are normally not fussy with our accomodation and are familiar with budget accomodations, this place however was not cheap and was below budget accomodation standards.
