The staff is very nice. We enjoyed their breakfast but didn't have an opportunity to try their lunch and dinner. The property is well maintained. The rooms were clean but had to request towels because there weren't any in the room. The rooms are a little small. But overall it was a pleasant stay.

If you are planning to go to the north of Dominican Republic, this is a very excellent place to visit with your family and children. It has typical food but fairly prices, swimming pool, few exotic animals and playground for children. The only negative point is that is quite far from the main avenue but you can enjoy the view and the green environment.

A little bit outside the town of Bonao, the hotel is located in a fantastic nature surrounding with rivers and mountains. They do have some awesome birds there...the hotel is secure and the stuff friendly... a bit pricy but well worth a visit

Even though reception took a little bit long, it was a good experience. The pools were fun and I got to see a real guacamayos. My room was also nice and the beds were comfortable, just a bit small. The weather was not so great at the time but it was a great resort to go to.

It is with a great pleasure I give the best review to Rancho Guacamayo. I've been staying at El Rancho (is what I call it ) every other month this year; when I visit my boyfriend and his family, in Bonao. The service is beyond amazing, the cleanliness is on point, just how I like it. I was just there Nov 10th. I hope they have availability for end of December. My boyfriend and I look forward to waking up at El Rancho on New Years day. Thank you for your hospitality may God continue to bless your business and your beautiful family, your hard work does not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated. One last thing: Thank you for your value, your prices are exceptional! There's no better place to stay in Bonao than at Rancho Guacamayo. Giselle Cruz
