WE were welcomed like family. The comfort and friendliness was wonderful. I love the funchi, the breeze, pool, flowers, and the smiles. I would bring my family and freinds here and I do not want to leave. The history of El Sobrino warms my heart and the care of people has been passed down to Randoph. Thank you for the memories.

My objective was to vacation at an exquisite location with a low cost budget. I yearned for the big, attractive, western atmosphere hotels in Wilmstad. Instead, I stayed at a remote site over a half hour away (depending on fast you drive since there seems to be no speed limit or minimum). It was a descent place: toilet, shower/tub, fridge, kitchen sink, oven burners to cook, closet for clothes, TV, and an AC. But, the coffee maker didn't work. Shower water extremely slow at draining. I kept the lights on at night to keep the cockroaches from making its way out of its hiding places. Kept the bed sheets over my entire body to keep from getting bit by some kind insect. It was cool to hear the ocean breeze within a minute walk from the place. Ocean breeze could be felt from the balcony door. But, the door moved pulled and pushed easily with the night wind. Get used to those thuds. Workers were nice. Though, not always in a hurry. Call it, "Island Time." They'll get to your needs when their ready. Nice and clean pool.

I did not eat at the place. I was there a week and rarely saw anyone eat there except on Sunday. Seemed to be more workers and music than diners.

Definately remote. If you like isolation, a bit of the native life, and low costs, you'll find delight in this place. Close to some of the most scenic beaches on the island. If you like all the modern, western amenities, then stay near the capital.

For our first days in Curaçao, we chose this resort because we wanted a quiet, relaxed place close to the beach. As soon as we arrived by taxi (70 dollar!!!) the staff started saying we should've ordered a transfer, while at the moment we booked by e-mail, they didn't mention that! The next morning we wanted to go to the supermarket to get some breakfast and then they told us the closest supermarket was near Willemstad, where we could only get with a bus going every 2 hours...!!! The whole action took us half of a day... Disappointed by this, we decided to rent a car but when we asked them, the reception girl simply told us all the cars were already rented out. When we asked if we could go on internet to look ourselves for a rental company, the reception girl said the computer didn't work and when we asked to take a look at it she said no, so we could really feel her will to help us.
The closest beach was a little bit disappointing too, so really not much to do besides hanging out at the pool, which was very nice we must say, but not a day-filling activity.
The place was very nice, it's really a pity that the reception staff was not so helpful - the last day we were told that the reception girl was an intern from Holland and that she was given too much responsabilities. Indeed she wasn't really willing to help with anything else than cashing our money (we arrived at 11:30 pm and the first thing they asked us was to pay the room).
On top of this, the last night we didn't get any sheets for the bed and when we asked for it, they told us all the sheets were being washed somewhere on the island and that they hadn't been delivered yet. At 10:30 pm they finally brought us some synthetic bed cover instead.
If you do decide to stay here, bring a lot of food and amusement or rent a car!!!

Really enjoyed dinner here. So much so, we came back for a second night during our one week stay. Very friendly owner, interesting history, and good to very good food. It's a mile or so down the road from Kura Hulanda, where we were staying.

Not many restaurant choices in the area, but we liked the food here more than Jaanchies. The local corn meal side dish was particularly interesting.
