Good location near the beaches at Wespunt. The bed & breakfast offers a lot of possibilities. During our stay there was no internet in the room. The TV reception was terrible. The B&B was understaffed: one man was receptionist, handyman, cook and waiter at the same time.

Spacious room close to great Western beaches
The hotel was quiet despite it being (apparently) full. The room was spacious and OK for a short stay. Breakfast in the terrace with a view was a nice way to start the day. My only concerns were the smell of camphor in the room and the almost complete absence of personnel at the reception for questions or requests. Internet worked OK. There is parking space in the back of the house (steep way up!) and the hotel is close to Playa Forti and Playa Grandi and within a few driving minutes from other beautiful beaches in the North West of the Island.

Staff apperars to unable to smile due to their seemingly constant state of misery. Room on the lower level looked out over the driveway, no gardenview. Shower drain is in the highestpoint of the resevoir resulting in some moulding in always wet lower part. View from the deck was nice, breakfast was ok.

This is a no frills hotel, breakfast is simple but plenty enough. It's in a quiet part of the island, but well situated for swimming, snorkeling and eating out - plenty of restaurants in the area. To us it was far more preferable than staying around Willemstad with the big hotels and busy beaches. The room we had was certainly adequate, clean and with a lovely view over the town and water.

Out-of-the-way lodging that's great if you're after a quiet escape. Staff was friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was fresh and delicious. Biggest drawback was that we were forced to find a different hotel our first night, after we arrived late at night and made the trek all the way out to Punta West just to discover that nobody was available to let us in the building or check us in (despite calling a week ahead and being assured someone would be there for us no matter what time we arrived).

Decent for what it is
Hotel is decent. Few breakfast selections and only just a 2 hour window for breakfast 8a-10a is the biggest downside. Parking is also extremely limited. You may be asked to move your car depending on other guest. Location is quiet and away from the city. Beds are also pretty hard and could be updated. Pool in the photo is much smaller than it appears, The hotel workers and owner are nice and accommodating.

The hotel is good. Stuff is very friendly. Breakfast- good. Dinner - also good, but for additional fee. Everyday housekeeping.The only unlikely thing is the shower: very inconvenient showerhead and no hand shower. The view on the sunset is realy great.

Good base spot on the North West side
We used this place to check out the beaches and parks on the north half of the Island. It is very close to some good places to eat around Sabana Westpunt, We liked Sol food so much we ate there three days in a row. Shete Boka park was beautiful, especially the Pistol. Playa Grande was interesting - turtles, fish and Pelicans in abundance. We spent most our time at three beaches - Playa PortoMari (cute pigs roam wild here), Daaibooi Beach (lots of pretty birds) and Playa Cas Abao. Jan Thiel beach is nice if you like big crowds, small beach and a great choice of places to eat.

Bad hotel
I went for the new year opening. First time I went to a hotel for New Years opening. Staff was not friendly dressed, bad communication. The restaurant has a menucard but the items are not in house. Breakfast begins after 9am . Restaurant closes 8pm. I will never return there.

A nice hotel with potential
The facility is very unique and leaves a person with mixed feelings. Modern updated rooms with a great view from the restaurant. The service was quite good. Our TV was not working, they sent someone immediately. Breakfast was off a limited but decent menu. For the cost, the rooms should have included a refrigerator and coffee maker. They have plenty of room to have them, but they do not, and given the very hot weather, a refrigerator is a must in my opinion

Secluded and beautiful
Stayed for 3 days, liked the quit and daily breakfast included. Room was clean. Air conditioned. Perfect for a couple retreat. Safe was working and the door key was disabled the last day. If you dine out or in, plenty of options within walking distance. No grocery stores nearby, but small conscience stores within the driving distance. Explored few nearby beaches, Jeremy is the one we would recommend. Bring you snorkeling masks, quite a view of ocean life on a side of the beach . Be aware of the currency exchange rate and double check all your bills .

Wanted to love it
This is a hard review to write. Wanted to love this place but the experience was very odd. Stayed 2 nights, only guests in bldg of approx 20 rooms, a red flag. Bldg looks just like the pics. Only "room" issue was the smell of moth balls, tested a different room and found the same, either an odd cleaner is used or the whole place is so unused it just smells. Truly odd part was the "service". The "manager" (middle aged man, don't know his real role, told that by staff member) barely spoke, didn't welcome us, gave us no information about anything (written or verbal) and when we asked questions he wasn't much better. We asked if possible to breakfast 7:30 vs normal 8:00 to climb Christoffel, he was fine with doing this but asked US to "start" calling HIM an hour ahead to wake him up! Who does this?! We left the property for dinner, upon return the driveway gate was closed, we had no idea what to do (as mentioned he gave us no instructions about anything). Their dog started barking enough to get his attention, he yelled from roof top deck to tell us how to open gate. Upon parking we found door to building locked, we didn't know it would be locked, we had no key, and after yelling down about the gate how was it not obvious to him to hustle to the door since we'd clearly need to get in?? After some banging he he let us in. No real words exchanged, no apology, seemed like we were an imposition. Someone spent a lot of money to build this place, it's not long for the world.

Amazing new Bed and Breakfast
We had a wonderful time at this hotel. The service from all of the staff, even the security guard, was exceptional. As a couple who have both worked in the service industry, we were blown away. The hotel is in a secluded area of the island... which is exactly what we wanted. The beach (gorgeous, almost deserted) was a 5 min walk down the hill. There are a couple restaurants with decent food within walking distance, if you don't have a car. We were there for 4 days; any longer, and we would have needed a car. I will definitely rent one my next visit. A cab from the airport to the hotel is astronomically expensive, $70-100 US dollars. The hotel's manager picked us up as a favor, and gave us a deal for a round trip. We had an issue with our room the first night, which is the only reason I gave 4 stars. Due to the hotel being new, they are working out kinks in their AC system. We mentioned it once; the second day we mentioned it again, and the security guard and another manager checked it out, and switched our room immediately. I also wish the hotel sold some snacks to take to the beach, as there are no local stores. The beaches associated with hotels have food, however. I would recommend this place to anyone! As long as you like it quiet :)

Great new B&B with stunning views
This is a new B&B with fabulous space and an absolutely amazing views. The staff was incredible; you feel like you’re the only ones there. Of course they served breakfast, but if you let them know by a certain hour that you want dinner they can take care of that too and present you with wonderful meal while your watching the sunset or looking up at the stars. The welcome we had was showing up at the end of the day, doing a quick unpack, relaxing into the dipping pool and enjoying a cold drink just before sunset – amazing. Curt can give you any information about the island to make sure your visit is exactly what you want.

Äußerst lieblos – mieses Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Unfreundlicher Empfang. Zimmer mit Gartenblick bedeutete wenig grünes Gestrüpp, viel Müll. Zimmer mit Meerblick allesamt nicht vermietet, da angeblich Klimaanlagen defekt. Zimmer wurde während des Aufenthalts nicht einmal geputzt, frische Handtücher gab es nur auf Anfrage. Immerhin wurden täglich die Kakerlaken vom Gang gefegt. Von der Frühstückskarte war das meiste nicht erhältlich, das Restaurant war nicht in Betrieb. Pool nur ein Planschbecken, keine Liegestühle vorhanden. Lange Liste mit Regeln für die Gäste, aber scheinbar keine fürs Personal. Die einzigen beiden anderen Gäste, die während unseres Aufenthalts da waren, wurden eine Nacht ausgesperrt, Personal war keines erreichbar. Sie haben dann, als sie keine Handtücher mehr hatten, mit uns die Unterkunft gewechselt, obwohl auch sie im Voraus bezahlt hatten. Wir haben so etwas in dieser Preisklasse noch nie erlebt und können vor dieser Unterkunft nur warnen. Schön war nur der Blick von der Terrasse aufs Meer.

Sauberkeit ließ beim ersten Zimmer zu wünschen übrig. Zimmer wurde gewechselt und war daraufhin "ok". Personal oft sehr lustlos und man hat sich teilweise gar nicht willkommen gefühlt. Atmosphäre bzw. die Aussicht hat einiges gut gemacht. Allerdings würde ich es nicht weiterempfehlen. Man sollte zusätzlich keine Scheu vor Kakerlaken haben :)

Alles werkte en het bed/ontbijt was prima. Het personeel vriendelijk. De parkeerplaats is wat krap maar we hebben de auto altijd kunnen parkeren.
