Altos de Caño Hondo

“A Hidden Paradise in Nature We spent two unforgettable nights at Altos de Caño Hondo, nestled in the heart of Los Haitises National Park, and it truly felt like stepping into a hidden paradise. The setting is simply breathtaking, surrounded by lush jungle and spectacular natural pools cascading down the hillside. Our room was spacious and full of rustic charm, even including thoughtful touches like a bathrobe. I especially loved relaxing in the hammock on our balcony, taking in the beautiful views of the savannah, forest, and distant sea, while listening to the soothing sounds of birds, the river, and waterfalls. The architecture is a work of art in itself — natural, unique, and perfectly integrated into the landscape. The staff were incredibly humble, kind, and attentive, which made the experience even more special. The food was delicious, and waking up to the sounds of nature each morning was pure bliss. Being in such a pristine forest environment, it’s only natural to encounter lizards, butterflies, insects, and mosquitoes — all part of the authentic experience of staying so close to nature. The hotel also kindly put us in touch with a taxi driver, Mr. Edwin, whose service was excellent and highly recommended. He picked us up from Punta Cana and later took us to Santo Domingo, making our journey smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a unique eco-lodge experience away from the crowds, this place is truly something special. Highly recommended — a magical escape into nature. What I didn’t like On one night of our stay, the owner of the neighbouring hotel, Paraíso Caño Hondo, was celebrating a birthday. As part of the event, there was very loud music, including both a DJ and a live singer. Unfortunately, the noise continued late into the night and was so loud it felt as if it were inside our room. My husband, myself, and other guests at our hotel were unable to sleep. It felt quite inconsiderate and disrespectful to those staying nearby, especially in such a peaceful, nature-focused setting. While lively celebrations may be part of the local culture, the property also promotes itself to international visitors who may not expect or appreciate music at that volume until 3am. Apparently, this is not an isolated incident, and even the management of Altos de Caño Hondo has raised concerns with the owner of the neighbouring property, but it seems little regard has been given to resolving the issue.”
