The amazing property is actually in San Pablo a few minute (and few USD) taxi from Otavalo. We stayed in Sierra #22 in March 2011 and had plenty of heat from the wood-burning fireplace and all the hot water we needed. Our package included breakfast and taxes. The restaurant has nice decor and the food was near excellent for breakfast... More

I just returned from a five night stay in a true oasis, in a beautiful country. 'Paradise', 'Shangri-la' it all sounds cliched, but how else can one describe arriving at the Hacienda Cusin? There are beautiful intimate courtyards, porches, lush gardens, quiet fountains, hummingbirds, hundreds of orchids, and endless flowers. The hacienda compromises both an original historic hacienda and the... More

There is so much one can say about Hacienda Cusin but I guess I will start with friendly atmosphere and beautiful gardens. The Hacienda is very well run and keeps the tradition of hundreds of years of existence. The gardens are wonderfully kept and each room has a very traditional decoration. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the... More

I recently stayed at Hacienda Cusin and enjoyed the stay immensely. The common rooms were inviting with warm fireplaces to dry off after a rainy walk. The service was prompt and attentive and spoke excellent English. The food was generally good and the cuy was a nice touch. Beds were comfortable and the fireplaces were warm. The location was a...

This was our first stay at Hacienda Cusin. My wife and I have had many friends who highly recommend Hacienda Cusin for it's service and cozy 18th century charm. Upon arrival we were greeted by the front desk staff. Whom we were pleasantly surprised to find the level of customer service much higher than the Ecuadorian standard. We were helped... More

My husband and I spent a few nights at Hacienda Cusin in Oct. 2011 and found it to be an extraordinary property. Everything was perfect—from our lovely room with a fireplace to the lush, well-tended gardens that surround this historic structure. Besides our comfortable accommodations (with an excellent bed, I might add), the hacienda features a number of common areas... More

This is my sixth visit to Hacienda Cusin and honestly, it just can’t get any better. The service, the accommodations, the attention to details, really awesome. I have been here for 3 nights and every meal the chef managed to surprize us with a great and better creative menu; we all love it. If you are lucky Pablo will be... More

There is no way this place even comes close to being considered "luxurious"...the walls of my room were covered in black mold from all of the humidity. The only heat source in the room was a tiny electric heater. And, on top of it all, during the 2 nights we stayed here, I ONLY ever had a COLD shower. Even... More

We loved staying at this old hacienda. it has a certain roughness, and it's not polished -- which we liked. We were lucky to come without reservations during the slow season, and we looked at several rooms. all the rooms looked nice, and in the end we splurged on a stand-alone cottage at one of the edges of the property....
