Lovely Tropical Stay Near Great Snorkeling

We had a lovely stay at Rancho El Sabrino. I was greeted warmly and professionally by Sebastian in the office, he kindly gave me information about the area and check-in was easy.we lived our room and the prooerty, pool was delightful and had a delicious dinner at the on-site restaurant. Other amazing view restaurants in walking distance as well as great snorkel spots and beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear water. We would love to go back. We rented a car which may transport easy, there is no bus service and cabs to the area are spendy.

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).

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).

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.

Voltaria a me hospedar

A staff do hotel é muito simpática e prestativa. O checkin e checkout simples e sem burocracia. O hotel é localizado perto das principais praias do norte da ilha. O aeroporto fica a uns 30 min de carro e é fácil de chegar e sair. o hotel conta com estacionamento. há um pequeno mercado perto, mas é bem simples. Mercados maiores ficam a uns 20 min de carro. O quarto possuía uma cozinha bem equipada, com utensílios, panelas, geladeira, mesa... O wifi funcionou bem todos os dias. Para nós os únicos pontos negativos foram a falta de cortinas ou blackouts no quarto e o cheiro estranho no banheiro, mas nada que comprometesse a estadia. Me hospedaria novamente.

Ontbijt op lokatie paar 100 meter verderop, maar wel prima. Wifi op de kamer werkt niet (goed). Heeft mij hoge telefoonrekening opgeleverd. Huurauto kwam dag te laat. Was een tijd geen water op de kamer, maar is uiteindelijk wel opgelost. Eén keer in de week schoonmaak is best weinig. Restaurant had gehele week halve kaart niet. Geen enkele deserts. Neem zeker DEET mee. Enorme muggenplaag.

We had an "ok" experience in Rancho El Sobrino. When we reserved a room for our "15th Anniversary", the reserve said "room with pool view", but our room isn't in front of the pool. Actually, the room is at the back of the hotel in a not very nice position. The room cleaning service is just "ok", nothing "amazing". The pool was cleaned once every 3 days. The staffs are polite and we hadn't problems with them. But, one day I requested a "Mojito" and it was terrible because the staff swapped SALT for SUGAR. I said: "Lady, could you please show me the recipe of your Mojito because the mine is brackish" and for my surprise, she told me: "I put SALT" (a terrible mistake). A guy that was behind me said: "Lady, Mojito is made with Sugar, not SALT". She changed my drink without costs but I was thought "how many drinks she made swapping salt for sugar. Finally, when we checked out, there wasn't anybody at the reception. We checked out by phone. I recommend Rancho el Sobrino, but don't create any extraordinary expectations about the place. Enjoy the beaches around the Sabana.
