Hacienda Cusin

La infraestructura, la parte histórica.

Las opciones de comida es muy limitado y las almohadas no son muy cómodas.

Muy buen desayuno, productos frescos, bien preparados, excelente presentación y servicio.

No había secador de cabello en el baño.

Todo muy bien!

Excelentes instalaciones y el servicio es lo más destacado, sobre todo del personal del restaurante

Cusín is one of the best places I've stayed while visiting over a dozen countries. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is friendly, the room was large and comfortable, and the restaurant was great. The grounds and buildings offer numerous places to socialize, admire the gardens, or curl up with a book. For those who don't have any command of Spanish, the front desk staff has excellent English, and the restaurant staff have *enough* English to be understood. The location was great for getting out and exploring the Imbabura region. You can walk, hike, or ride a rented bike in any direction. The village of San Pablo is friendly, charming enough, and does not have any trace of tourism so it really offers an authentic look at small-town indigenous life – there are restaurants, shops, bakeries, and a town square, although you will definitely have to use some Spanish to get the most out of this place. We paired up with the local guide Christian Palomeque for several day trips – a hike at Cuicocha, a trip to Zuleta and a hike at Cubilche, and a bike ride around the lake and over to Otavalo. Christian was fantastic and easy to work with, and his connection to the Hacienda really made our trip. Overall, the value for the money was incredible – we paid around $130 per night which is quite a bit less than our average hotel room over the past few countries we've visited; yet Hacienda Cusín was one of the best, most comfortable, and most beautiful places we've stayed.

Only a few gripes. The water pressure in the shower was occasionally too low. In the restaurant, while the meals for lunch and dinner were generally good, breakfast was lacking some variety. The hacienda also offers a short hiking trail guide that you can access through a QR code at the front desk, but as an experienced hiker, I wished for a bit more. I totally understand that hiker / adventure types might not be the most common clientele for Cusín but if I could wave a magic wand, I would have wanted a more complete trail guide. As it was, I ended up finding my own route to get about halfway up Cerro Cusín, the large mountain just behind the hacienda – for those who are comfortable improvising with e.g. Google Maps or Wikiloc, it's very doable and there are paths through the farm lands that climb the slopes.

El jardín ,el estilo hacienda.

La primera noche dormí en una habitación superior. Estaba congelada,chimenea puesta,tenía que entrar constantemente leña ,ni así se calentó. El baño da pena,no había agua caliente,solo salía un chorro de agua pobre ,ni pensar en ducharse,cambié a la presidencial y ahí estaba mejor. Pero las instalaciones de baño más que con necesidad de renovación. Comida en el restaurante mediocre y cara.

Hermosa simplemente hermosa
