How to get there

1. After renting a car at the airport, turn right leaving the airport and follow the road for about 3 kilometers until you get to the roundabout with a large metallic sculpture of an iguana. If you want to go to CENTRUM, a big supermarket, please go to instruction # 6 and follow it. If you prefer Carrefour, you will not turn right at Centrum but continue down the main road for about half a mile and will turn left at the entrance of Sambil Shopping center and you will find it.

2. If you are not going to Centrum or Carrefour, then take your first right at the roundabout towards Westpunt

3. You will drive 12.5 kilometers on this road. You will pass the intersection that takes you to Willibrordus (this is the place where you can observe flamingoes in the wild) but do not take it now. Keep going straight. You will pass Daniel on your right-hand side (this is a great restaurant by the way). You’ll also pass a small town called Tera Cora that has a medium size grocery store on your left-hand side. This store isn’t recommended for your large purchases but convenient for the minor stuff. Shortly after you pass the store you will pass a large gas station on your left-hand side. About 2 km after the gas station you will come to an intersection (fork in the road) where you make a left towards Soto and Lagun.

4. After making a left at the fork, you’ll drive 8.4 kilometers. Make a left immediate after passing the school (there will also be a yellow church on your right-hand side)

5. This is the winding road you’ll drive for about 3.5 kilometers to the house. You’ll pass by an old landhuis named Santa Martha (a “landhuis” is a colonial plantation home that is popular in this part of the island). You’ll also pass by the buildings that comprised the Sunset Waters Hotel. About 0.5 km past the hotel you’ll find the house on your right-hand side four houses past the house that has several tall radio antennas. This will be your home for the next few days.

6. DIRECTIONS TO GO TO CENTRUM, THE BIG SUPERMAKET. When you get to the first round about, the one with the metal iguana, do not turn right, keep going straight. You will come to another roundabout, keep going straight. You will come to a signal light about one mile past the second roundabout, turn right and the grocery store CENTRUM will be on your left hand side. You cannot miss it. Return the same way until you reach the iguana roundabout. Here make a left going towards Westpunt. Follow the directions above

7. If you need groceries after hour there is a small grocery store that carries a lot of things and is opened until 12 midnight. When you leave your house, come to the main road and instead of turning right to go to Willemstad, turn left going towards Lagun. About half a mile on your right you will pass by an old plantation house called Klein Santa Martha. GREAT RESTAURANT. Keep going for about 2 miles and you will come to an intersection. You will find a small supermarket that can supplies your needs. It is usually filled with local people and load music, do not fear, they are all very friendly.
