We stayed at La Rancheta for 11 days, including 4 days of pouring rain in the winter season. Amenities are basic but clean. My travelling companion was able to whip up some fabulous meals despite the "camp" kitchen--we even invited friends for dinner one night! The 2 bedroom loft cabana was cleaned daily, and linens and towels were changed regularly.... More

We booked two adjacent cottages near the main building, one with a kitchen, for my son and his wife, and a separate one for myself. The standard was lower than many $10/ night lodgings in rural Africa where I have stayed during 20 years of field work, despite our paying over $100/night, including a deposit requiring additional money transfer fees....

My friend and I stayed here for three nights and had a great stay. We stayed in La Hacienda, which is further away from the town of Las Galeras then La Rancheta. Karin, the Belgian owner, is very friendly and an excellent tourguide, especially for horsebackriding. We took a trip to playa Madama, a beautiful secluded beach, where you can... More

Via the joined website www.larancheta.com we choose La Hacienda to stay for 4 nights during our stay in Las Galeras: peaceful, natural surroundings, no nonsense, basic but everything it needs to offer. La Hacienda is situated nicely located on top of a hill, only 10 minute walk to the beach. The gardens have lovely fruits available for the guests: papaya... More

I stayed 3 nights with Karin at La Hacienda. Everything was great! She is a lovely woman and very helpful. I found the Hacienda a very special place. (up on a hill) I had Ronald cook for me one night at La Rancheta, and that was amazing too. Thank you to both of them, I look forward to coming back.... More

Being used to 5* all inclusive resorts, this vacation was a real change for us. But the 2 weeks stay at la Rancheta were the most relaxing we ever had. Back to basic but boy, what a relief compared to our hectic, planned lives in Belgium ! No must, just go with the flow and enjoy every minute of the... More

Our bungalow was infested with large roaches. They entered through holes in the walls that were located under a bench in the sitting area. Roaches have their place in nature, but their presence was extreme. We killed at least 20 of them that night and the next morning. We decided we could not spend more than our first night there,...

We stay here more than week. The belgian owner Karin was very friendly. It was pleasure to stay here. Only one problem there is no hot water, but you can't find it in any other place on similar price. Rooms are small, just a bed and few rack, but it is not all inclusive :) About 40 minutes on foot...

We stayed with Karin and Ron at La Hacienda (a lovely house on a hill a short walk from La Rancheta) for about a week and a half in late March, 2009. It was a family excursion - 6 people, ages ranging from 50-something to 11. We rented 3 rooms at 25 Euro per room per night, which was quite... More
