"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! "

"So nice! Great food!"

"Stunning "

"Pros: elegant hotel in a beautiful setting; courteous, well-trained staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and sent us a gift when they learned we were celebrating our wedding anniversary; our room was large and comfortable and had a balcony with a view of the harbor. Cons: we have stayed at many all-inclusives, and the food here was a real disappointment; some dishes were quite tasty, and the fruit at breakfast generous, but other selections were mediocre at best. The meal at the Mediterranean a la carte restaurant was hardly recognizable as such and was barely edible. Additional wait staff are needed, too. Food services in a four-star hotel should be at the same level as the rest of the services."

"Upscale venue. Much better than expected. Elegant atmosphere and very accommodating staff. I’m definitely returning. "

"Very good "

"The place felt abandoned. It seemed to me they attempted to make a nice hotel but didn’t think anything through. You have to climb over the bed to get to the far side of the room because the size of the bed was too big for the size of the room. I had to sit on the toilet sideways because it is too close to the wall. No soap to wash hands in the bathroom. The bathroom door scraps loudly on the tile because the door is too long. No towels near the pool. And the worst part was the wifi did not work the whole time we were there. There are hotels for half the price in Samana. I don’t understand why the guest is paying so much for this hotel. The amenities and care of the building doesn’t equal the price. So far in the Dominican Republic it is both the most expensive and worst hotel experience I have had. "

"I stayed at Hotel Cano Hondo for 5 nights in January 2026. The atmosphere is relaxed and authentic, with friendly staff and a nice location."

"Bel emplacement en bord de mer avec vue sur les baleines, plage tout près de la villa. Hôte accessible et disponible"
