Cusin is a former Catholic monastery. It has very monastic feel with statues, paintings & even priest's vestments on the walls. We stayed one night. We were in the building directly across from the dining/bar/lounge building. The walls are about 2' thick, our room had a large entry hall with a single bed, with a living room & huge bedroom...

We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the gardens. As for the accomodations....Our room was dark. Seems like it needed an update. The wall art was faded posters. It gets very cold here at night. One room enjoyed the fireplace. The second room had a space heater that didn't work. the breakfast served at the restaurant was better than our dinner. More

Our family of four spent a happy weekend at the Hacienda Cusin after returning from a week on a boat visiting the Galapagos Islands. We found this comfortable restored hacienda to be relaxing and welcoming. Their excellent driver picked us up at the airport on Friday and drove us back on Sunday. In between we were well taken care of... More

Hacienda Cusin is an incredible getaway - charm of an old colonial home in a huge, well-landscaped garden, mixed with very quaint and well-decorated rooms. Go there for a getaway, to relax and to do nothing at all. A great library, tons of books and videos to watch and cosy fireplaces to sit in front of. It is all that... More

It was near the main courtyard right across from the building with the restaurant. I did not find it noisy, in fact I don't recall hearing any outside noise. The... More

Our family just returned from two weeks in Ecuador. One week at the Hacienda Cusin and a week in the Galapagos. Its a perfect pairing. The Hacienda Cusin is the only place you will want to stay when visiting Otavalo. The Hacienda dates back to the 16th century and has been lovingly restored over the past 22 years by the... More

A small group of us stayed here for a total of six nights during a recent two-week trip. Our group had three beautiful, clean, and comfortable rooms with fireplaces which were lit for us every evening. Bathrooms were very nice (hot water came out faster than in my house in New York), and the rooms were cleaned promptly every morning.... More
