"After a disappointing all-inclusive experience in Puerto Plata, Hotel Cocuyo in Samaná was an absolute Godsend. This place is truly one of a kind…understated, serene, and deeply special. Upon arrival, we parked and walked up to the hotel, where we stepped into a cozy lobby that felt more like a thoughtfully curated living room, books on the shelves, the soft glow of sunset in the background, the pool like glass, cocktail glasses clinking gently, and faint conversations in the air. Then the views hit you and they are absolutely breathtaking. We stayed in the Valle room: simple, spacious, and elegant in its minimalism. No TV but with views like this, you won’t miss it for a second. Everything about this place encourages you to slow down and take it all in. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuine. Fellow guests were quiet, friendly, and respectful the atmosphere felt calm and elevated without being pretentious. Mornings were my favorite: coffee in hand, wrapped in the stillness of rain, birdsong, and the distant call of cocuyos. Every corner of the property offers a stunning view, but the miradors are something else entirely, pure magic. This stay reminded me of the Dominican Republic I knew from my childhood summers — raw, beautiful, and unspoiled. Hotel Cocuyo captures captures that essence perfectly. I can’t recommend it enough."
