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.

“Has potential but lacking too many necessities”

The positives. This hotel was really cute. The pool is awesome and it was not far from some great beaches. We needed a blanket as the bed only had a sheet and they gave us a nice plush one. For the most part the staff was nice but any request (like getting toilet paper) was always met with major hesitation. The negatives. There was a building light that shined into the windows that are high with no shades so bright all night long. The floors where thin and we found soft spots that we tired to avoid. Water pressure and temperature was inconsistent. If it would have been at all a little chilly it would have been miserable. Because we booked through airbnb and not directly through the hotel, it was almost like we were treated less then. The come to clean the rooms after 5 days. That is far too long to go without fresh towels, especially when you don't get beach towels at a place that has a pool. I had to beg them which actually took twenty minutes of them going back.and forth deciding, if they would give us tells they did end up giving us towels. We also ran out of toilet paper and we ended up having to buy our own because this was a struggle. The outdoor stove was rusted and my husband had to clean it to get the gas to work right. This place has the potential to be amazing if it was kept up more and better stocked. No guest should have to buy toilet paper.
