Just outside of Las Galeras, easily reachable by foot during the day, and by motoconcho at night, La Hacienda is a little treat: few rooms over an open-air patio with a small but equipped kitchen, bananas and mangos to pick freely in the garden and fresh eggs from the few hens in the garden. It is a small retreat paradise... More

cute place and Mai goes out of his way to be helpful, with great advice as to where to go and explore. La Rancheta with its great breakfast is right next door. The roaming roosters next door were charming but early risers! I think this was a one time event however.

If you are on the budget, this is a gem. I cannot recommend it enough! This place was cheaper and better than all of the places we stayed at during our trip to Dominican Republic (except for El Beaterio in Santo Domingo, but it is NOT budget). The room is basic but spacious and comfortable situated in the lush green... More

I stayed in La Hacienda in March 2012. A basic place, but had exactly everything that I needed. It's a beautiful walk over the beach then up the hill to La Hacienda. La Hacienda is surrounded by a big garden and the Dominican country side. Such a peaceful place. The beach is just a short walk down the hill and... More

My boyfriend and I were backpacking Dominican Republic and ended on the Samana peninsula in Las Galeras. We originally had booked a room at La Rancheta, but arriving late and on the same bus with folks staying at La Hacienda, so we decided to see if we could get a room at La Hacienda instead of walking up a rocky...

Spent one week on my own at La Rancheta in Las Galeras in 2010 and what a great place. The atmosphere was quiet and private and Ronald and Gracia where very very hospitable people. I also went horseriding with one of Karins guides. A beautifull experience on well looked after horses. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for... More

My fiance and I just spent 3 nights at La Rancheta and had a wonderful time. Absolutely no complaints it was perfect. The rooms are very basic and yes don't expect hot water (most hotels in this area don't have hot water) but the owners are awesome. Ronald is a great cook and we pretty much ate the majority of...

Karin, Ronald and Mii are the most gracious hosts I have ever met and I have traveled all over the world! I was alone with my daughter and a bit nervous about being in the Dominican Republic with her and with out my husband and no car. The 3 hosts of La Hacienda, La Rancheta and Villa Coloniales were so... More

This was the place that you can't find everywhere! I hate those five stars 110% hygienic white all-inclusive hotels, where you are just one of the visitors who brings the money to the company. If you want to avoid everything like that, La Hacienda is an excellent choice! The place is unique, rooms are unique and you as a visitor... More
