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.

We spent one night in Apartment 14 and immediately asked to be moved as it did not at all reflect the pictures advertised on Expedia. We travel quite a bit, and paying $145 CAD to stay in an “apartment” like that made no sense. It was old, the pillows were stained and musty, there was what looked like chicken wire on the windows, and there were duck decorations on some sort of roof hanging over the bed. The second apartment we were given was better, but overall the property really needs a revamp. The pillows are old, there was only one thin sheet on the bed, no mattress cover, and the dishes were outdated. There were also mosquitoes or flies, as I was bitten several times. Do not leave any food on the counters — when we turned on the kitchen light at night, we saw cockroaches. The pool area is nice, but we didn’t use the pool since there are many beautiful beaches nearby. Tanja and the staff were friendly and helpful, but unfortunately the property itself needs updating.

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 had a second floor unit with an outdoor kitchen. It was a unique experience. It had basic cooking equipment and a gas cooktop and large fridge. It looked over the pool. It was clean. It was a very quiet property. The bbq’s were not in good shape. The pool was clean and very nice with good lounges and shade. You can walk to 3 restaurants, one being on the property. You can walk to beaches with great snorkeling. The staff were helpful. We had issues with the rental car we rented from here though. We wer not notified about a $500 u.s. deposit and if they put it on the credit card they charged 4%. They had to charge and refund and recharge after 7 days which made no sense therefore we were getting hit with extra charges for a deposit. Last minute told to take the car to the unit to get refunded. We were supposed to take it to the airport. They did provide a driver but we were going to make stops on the way. We’re not able to do that. We used all our u.s. cash. The staff were good. We would stay again but not rent their car.

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.
