Hacienda Cocuyo

I loved our stay here! It is a very ecotravel type of trip! It’s a very local area, it is about a 10-15min drive to the bottom of the mountain to the town of samana! There are few English speakers but they’ll do their best to help you get by! We had an amazing time! Really enjoyed our stay, staff was nice, food is really good on resort! — pasta with shrimp was my fav, and my friend really enjoyed the fried fish. 1 (809) 546-7216 This taxi was really helpful the whole time (what’s app) I hope you enjoy your stay!

The place is priceless the view is remarkable and the environment is so so peaceful and beautiful wonderful stay here!

It’s amazing!!! The place is beautiful, exotic with an incredible view.

It was a piece of heaven in the upper part of the DR mountains surrounded by the most serene views of the palmed trees and vegetation, and the wild nature that gets to the tops of the hills of the country. Simply a Zen with wooden soul..

Nice place

It is hard to explain how amazing this lodging is. I agree with other reviewers—if you are looking for a five star experience, you need to stay in a fancy hotel in Samana. If you are looking for breathtaking views, a rustic environment, and an amazing element of privacy—you are looking at the right place. Every room feels like it own bungalow, the included breakfast was delicious, and the smash burgers were awesome! The staff was attentive and the view of the bay was second to none. It is a hair raising drive up to the hotel and a hike from the parking to your room (staff will help with luggage) but once you are settled in—YOU WON’T want to leave! It’s great, we already can’t wait for our next stay…

Great place above Samana bay. Not easy to get to (especially at night), but an oasis with incredible views, super friendly staff, good food and pretty access to Samana destinations. Loved private dinners in one of the two towers overlooking the bay. Yoga in the morning. No AC, but the higher rooms didn’t need it at all (fan plus breeze meant we used a blanket at night).

I don’t think there are enough words to express how STUNNING this property was! My husband and I didn’t want to go home! We wanted to stay here forever! The staff was extremely friendly! Some of the nicest and attentive staff I’ve ever experienced on this island! The property manager is on top of everything and makes sure all her guest are having a great stay! They pay attention to detail! Not only is the property beautiful but the staff also makes this place what it is! Can’t wait to go back!

The views are like no other, amazing micro-climate, peaceful sighting to Samana Bay. Very Friendly Staff, always good to come back to this place.

No air conditioner and hot water takes a few minutes to warm up.

This hotel is so beautiful, you really feel connected with nature when staying here. You can see so many palm trees and greenery and even bacardi island from the rooms and viewpoints. You can also hear all the nature around you. We booked the room with the pool and it was stunning, but even if you dont book this one, they have a main pool which is larger and just as beautiful with the greenery background. Only downside is the staff dont speak much english but we were able to communicate fine with google translate. The room itself was basic which was fine for us as it was clean, if youre looking for luxury in the actual rooms then this wont be for you. The place is away from the city and you have to drive through streets with homes of locals to get to it.

the view only

Everything was amazing. Team even helped with our car booking discrepanies. Cant ask for more in a different country. I loved the views and the team

I will highly recommend this place great service

The service was nice, the flood was great and the view was spectacular, our room didn't have air conditioning but we didn't need it.

I love the place everything is like in the picture 10 of 10 I recommend it it is a beautiful place

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Worst experience ever. When we first walked in there’s was nobody to received us and then a guy comes out very unprofessional saying that there was no system to check me in and that he will give me a room and later on we will figure it out. He took us to the room and the smell in the property was disgusting, no cleanliness at all, the water of the pool was completely green (Yes! I understand it was a natural pool but that water didn’t look safe at all) the smell in the room was awful too. I had a front pool room and right next to the pool there was like a little pond full of worms and frogs. We immediately decided not to stay and the guy in charge didn’t even try to accommodate us or give a refund. I had very high expectations and it was a total disappointment. This place needs renovations ASAP

The hotel is way overpriced, I would not pay even a half of what we paid. The listing says $120 but we paid $225. We’re two adults, 2 kids and they made us pay extra guest fee for staying in a room with two beds, where typically kids stay free. There are no amenities, it’s like sleeping in a shack with no AC, no hot water, no glass windows (only wooden), with a bunch of insects flying. The pools are dirty not as pictured with turquoise water. The only thing that I liked was the view from the reception. There are two view points, but prepare to pay extra $5 per person if you want to have a table with a view. I would not recommend it to anyone! Such a ripoff!!!

Exactly as pictured its breathtaking lil part of this tall mountain in the middle of paradise!!

BEAUTIFUL and peaceful. Great stay for anyone. Staff ALWAYS friendly, welcoming, accommodating and helpful.
