@NDL_Diver - great answer!! Plus, as you mentioned, there are restaurants in the area. Westpunt is not what it was - even 2 years ago. When I worked up there a little more than 8 years ago, the best restaurant (and still is) was Sol Food but with little else to choose from.
TODAY, well - Westpunt has literally blossomed! With a 3-10 min walk east of All West Apartments you will encounter Blue View Restaurant, Playa Forti Restaurant (completely renovated and under new ownership, a small boutique restaurant beside Playa Forti, and finally still heading east - Cactus Cafe inside Rancho el Sobrino.
West of All West Apartments - hop in your vehicle over to Sol Food (only open Fri, Sat, Sun) but ensure you contact Sunshine for a reservation or order one of their famous pizza's for take out. OR... stop in at Jaanchies Restaurant in the heart of Westpunt.
Looking for more of a local flavor - then stop in at Kunuku Pachi Cola located on the hill behind GO WEST Diving at Playa Kalki. This is truly a local and hidden gem!!
Of course, there are even more options outside of Westpunt in the local villages of Lagun, Barber, Soto.
IMO... the best part about staying in the WEST is the exploring and discovering all the gems the island has to offer. Trust me, there is amazing dishes to eat that are prepared by enthusiastic people wanting to share! So... just dive in!

Haven't been in awhile, but we always rent a car and find enough for restaurants within reasonable distance, if not quite Westpunt close. We probably head closer to town average twice a week? We're into looking for good restaurants and normally all about "what's for dinner?", but In a way it's sort of relaxing to have fewer choices.
I prefer to avoid changing locations too often, but with 3 weeks I would split between at least 2 locations. It's a big island.
