La Hacienda Hostel is located on the government eco-tourism route in Las Galeras countryside, next to Cabo Samana National Park and 700 metres from the beach. Las Galeras town centre is only 1.5 km away.

The owner has quite a few dogs and some Horse too. If you want you can book a ride. I didn't as I am a bit afraid of riding anything with their own brain! The hostel was one of the most peaceful in my travels to the point where I can imagine not wanting to leave. The town itself has little actual activities except for the really nice beaches. I hiked for about 35 minutes to one very nice one that was totally like the one from the movie the Beach. Road there gets a bit rough the last 1/4 mile. Just can't drive faster than about 15 mph. I have a feeling in 5 more years this whole area will blow up like so many of the other gems.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Location, tranquillity, weather, possibility to see whales from terrace,amenities, housekeeper Margo makes amazing local food, house guardian Enel brings fresh fruits and coconuts every morning. Hans is very knowledgeable and helpful host. Perfect escape for big family or group of friends to little corner of paradise. 20 minutes drive you can find perfect beaches. We loved every minute of our stay in a villa. P.s. we felt very safe

    rare to find a backpackers hostel in the DR, and I enjoyed this place although the facility was a bit lacking and as usual in hostels the kitchen was well used and abused. friendly place though of course!

    Hostel-type place, so do not expect anything fancy, but cheap, well located, clean, kitchen available, has common eating/club area - in general gives friendly feeling amplified by the very friendly and helpful owner. WiFi works fine.
