"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! "
