"The service was excellent. We were able to see the whales from our room with binoculars. My only concern was that the all inclusive did not include beverages in the room fridge. If you wanted a soda you had to go to the bar."
"The Good:
Most rooms have a balcony with views.
Clean rooms/linens
Breakfast good - made to order
The Bad:
Staff speak no English and lack customer service training
No wifi in rooms - only in lobby
Room TVs not connected to wifi, cable or satellite - useless!
Took 10 minutes to get hot water flowing
4 floors, no elevator
Breakfast only - must go down into town for dinner"
"This is our second stay at Hacienda Cucuyo. It is such a hidden gem overlooking Samaná Bay. It has a limited occupancy which makes it perfect for a retreat style stay. It is quiet, comfortable, and very connected experience. Daniela is an absolutely terrific hostess! She welcomed us warmly and is the perfect host as is Victor and the rest of the staff. Our only complaint was the tiny ants that showed up in our luggage and bed on the first night do to our ground level apartment and the rain the previous day. Other than that our stay was epic. Our apartment had a skinny “single lane lap pool” with a view of the whole Samaná Bay Area. The breakfast was simple yet delicious. Be forewarned that the drive up isn’t for the faint of heart but the views the whole way are breathtaking. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and are looking forward to staying next year! "
