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.

Situated in Las Galeras, within 700 metres of Las Galeras Beach and 1.2 km of La Playita Beach, Hostel La Ballena Backpacker offers accommodation with free WiFi throughout the property. Boasting an ATM, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a shared lounge and currency exchange for guests.

The comunal area isn't very big so it helps interaction between the guests. Also the staff, in particular the volunteer- Isabella (hard not to have a crush on Isabella!) are super cool.

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.

    Clean, private and spacious room with terrace to chill and beautiful garden with big pool. The host is very nice, she prepared delicious breakfast and helped us with informations about the area. The apartment is walking distance away from beautiful beach and town center with all the restaurants, markets, bars. The area was peacefull and safe.

    The location is great. Andrea, the owner is very helpful. It is outside of the village, but within a nice 15 minutes walk through the beach. All the area is safe both day and night.

    Nice hostel with great and friendly host. A kitchen with the possibility to cook and fridges were also there, which makes a longer stay possible. Definitely worth to stay longer there because there is so much wonderful nature around to see. Very good that there was a net against mosquitoes around the bed!

    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!

    I liked the fresh air at night, woke up really good every morning. The hostel was clean and has everything you need. I really liked the outside area, it was a nice place to escape the noise and just read or write and look at the trees.
