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. This was a very interesting part of my trip.
Monica :) Happy New Year!!

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 fabulous surroundings, the beautiful beaches and the very friendly people of Las Galeras.
Ronald cooked us the best home made food you can imagine. We admire him for the
tasty dishes he puts on the table with limited kitchen comfort. Unbelievable and a lot of chefs can take some lessons from him !
Not a single time did we get sick so we got quality at La Rancheta.
Karin took us on a very romantic and adventurous horseback ride in the surrounding woods. We learned a lot about the plantation and former culture and she took us to beaches where we got the Robinson Crusoe feeling !
No line ups, no crowded stores or streets or beaches! Just lay back and enjoy the best of the Dominican !
Thanks a million Ronald, Karin, Gretia and William for giving us such a wonderful time !
We love you !

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, and the owners refused to negotiate any refund for us, and made us pay the full amount. for two nights. The area is breathtakingly lovely, and you can find other affordable and off-the-beaten track places. We enjoyed the rest of our stay.

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 to Las Galeras. From here you can reach Playa Madame ~40min, very nice, wild beach. Nice place for nature lovers.
