Rancho el Sobrino

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).

This is our home-away-from home. My daughter and I have been coming here every yefor thepast 3 years, this is our perfect little heaven on earth.

Everything specially the host Bernardo as he was super friendly and helpful

Relaxing and quiet atmosphere. Terrace with kitchen. Hammocks. Dive centre on site.

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.

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).

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.

Beautiful apartment right on the ocean. Amazing views and balcony. Great communication with the owner. The property was quiet you could only hear the waves and it had everything we needed.

Schöne Unterkunft, ruhig, super gelegen für Ausflüge zu den schönsten Stränden. Zu Fuß wunderbar Abends in Restaurants zu kommen.

Friendly staff , exceptional chef in the Cactus Cafe next door , nice sized pool and close to several beaches .

Appliances and accessories in the room were quite old , streaming on the TV was constantly buffering , constuction noise at the complex next door started at sunrise on most days and parking area and roads were full of potholes .

The pool was big and beautiful
