La route pour s’y rendre n’est pas commode. Il y a eu une panne d’électricité dès notre arrivée qui a duré tout la première soirée.
Le lac est par ailleurs extraordinaire et le quai très chouette. Les installations sont négligées et manquent dentretien. Le personnel est très agréable et serviable. Le resto est honnête. La musique américaine aurait intérêt à être remplacée le matin par de la musique locale et plus relaxe pour le soir.

This place was beautiful and a nice place! The pictures are accurate. But I do have to mention the negatives. 1) I didn’t realize it’s in a farther area of the lake where there’s nothing around it. I would never have walked outside, didn’t look safe as a tourist. So your limited to transportation to get in and out and takes around 20min on a dirt road to exit that area. Theres a more populated touristy area across the lake on the other side. 2) One of the most pathetic things from this hotel, especially with what I mentioned before, they don’t allow us to take in ANY outside food??!?! They wanted to take away my kids cereal and granola bar snacks and told me to dump them or they can hold it. Are you kidding me??? lol Out of all my travels, have never heard of that absurdity. We snuck the snacks in every night and had to hide it to come in! Hahahaha The jokes on them. Such a petty rule that will make them lose customers like myself. 3) Lastly, This is a chill “exclusive” hotel. There was a horrible trashy guy with a Herod of three woman there when we arrived, he was drunk, loud and obnoxious. Why was it their fault? They kept serving him alcohol way past when they should have. It almost ruined our stay. Luckily they kicked him out, but it should never have gotten to that point. Also; they have “day passes” and day passes usually attract that type of element. That is not “exclusive”. 4)Also, very overpriced water activities. Nice hotel, but I would not stay there again.

\"Hotel\" with kind staff however they have control issues.

WARNING: At the time of our stay this property does not alert until you check in that there is NO alcohol permitted on the property that is not purchased through them. This is more a Resort than hotel. This includes inside your own hotel room, obviously we would not bring our own drinks to the pool or dinner. If you like to have a drink in your bedroom when the day is done while you are on vacation. it is not allowed and you will be forced to sign a document at check in.

The restaurant closes at 9 so if you want a drink you will not be able to. There is nothing to walk to at night so you will be forced to buy directly from the hotel any beverages.

This company needs to change their listing to reflect they are a resort which forces you to spend money with them and only them.

Rooms also need a deep cleaning.

Food was very good, staff was lovely.

Transparency is key and as business they are lacking.

This is definitely a hidden gem in Lago Coatepeque! The staff is so welcoming and the hotel’s slogan is to treat every guest like family. My grandmother, mom and I definitely felt like we were staying with family. Josue is one of the staff and is so knowledgeable about coffee. Make sure to ask for a coffee tasting with him! The owner of the hotel, Daniel, is the sweetest guy. He along with Josue took us on a coffee tour at his finca where we saw coffee trees, mangos, limes, avocados and more!! This is a wonderful place to relax and recharge. We will definitely be coming back!

We loved our time at this unique property. We stayed in the family room (which was well-appointed and very clean). The food was delightful and we enjoyed the welcome drinks at check-in since we're Expedia VIPs. The food was delicious and the staff was incredibly attentive. Our kids loved the pool and kayaking on the lake. They also had a cute activity where the kids could pick veggies from their garden and they served them up for breakfast. Overall, I would give our stay 4.7 stars. Everything was perfect except for the fact that our room didn't have any hot water. I know that this is a common thing in El Salvador, but we didn't expect this considering the price for the family room. It was way too cold for our kids but we made it work since we only stayed for one night. If the staff are able to remedy this then we would have zero complaints. Other than that, it was a perfect stay!

The hotel was pleasant and well kept for the most part. The pool could use some maintenance, but it wasn't a big deal.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but the customer service by the woman in the front office was lacking. Three of the people in our party were leaving at 5am the next morning to hike a volcano. Because breakfast was included in our stay and they wouldn't be there for it, I asked if the kitchen could please give them something simple to take, even just bread, and she said that wasn't possible because the kitchen wouldn't be open that early. The kitchen was open in the evening when I asked her, so someone could've just grabbed some, but she wasn't willing to do that. For a pricey hotel it was disappointing that they couldn't accommodate a very simple request, especially because bread was part of the breakfast plate that's included.

The hotel also doesn't allow guests to bring food in from outside to eat in their room. The staff at the bar/restaurant were wonderful and helpful, but the lady at the front desk was quite rude. I also asked for an additional key because we were 4 adults with different plans, but I was told that wasn't possible either.

The views of the lake from our room and deck (room 2B) and dining area are fabulous! Beautiful lake!.The only down side is this hotel is very remote and the roads that lead to it are very rough - all dirt and very far from the main road. Some Ubers did not want to drive to the hotel. However, the hotel did provide transportation for a fee.

Pool was dirty, beds are old and uncomfortable. It's just a very run down hotel. The staff in the restaurant and lovely but staff on the dock were rude and unfriendly. We booked for three nights and only stayed one night due to poor maintenance of the facilities. The dock is very cool and the views but that was it. We were so disappointed. So much potential here.

If you have any issue walking stairs - this won’t be the best place for you to stay. Only two rooms are downstairs and the rest are upstairs. As you can see from the hotel photos, the pool and the dock are down several stairs. I had asked to the hotel ahead of time twice if my room was downstairs as it had to be, since I cannot walk stairs, and there was no response. So when I got there, I was given a room upstairs. From that point, the hotel went above and beyond to help me with all that. They literally had two of the men at the resort, carry me up the stairs in a wheelchair and then back down in the morning.

The view here is phenomenal. The hotel offers so much peace and easy access to the lake with unlimited kayaking included in your recreation. The staff were great. I have much more positive things to say about my stay than negative…. The only thing is that I found the pool water to have an opaque color and didn’t seem as clean in comparison to crystal clear pools I’ve been too. Though regardless of that factor I would 100% come back and recommend.

Perfect hotel getaway from the city. Room had an amazing lake view. Staff was awesome, very nice and friendly. Food was awesome, from our complementary breakfast to the house hamburger. We got to relax and enjoy ourselves, will definitely be back.

Impeccable, clean, comfortable, loved that there were towels for shower and seperate ones for the pool. The staff is welcoming, helpful and kind, and the food was absolutely delicious. The pool can use some TLC, but the views were simply breathtaking. If your budget allows you, do go for the lake view, it’s worth it!

Lake view is very good.
Staff at the bar was nice and friendly except that during breakfast we were surprised to get charged for American Coffee instead of getting free refills. We paid for the Coffee but mere fact of the waiter didn’t tell us upfront.
Everything else was good and we liked the experience there. Thank you.

The positives were nice lakeview for my room (the property has lake access), very clean room, nice food, nice breakfast, friendly staff. Katia was very efficient. You can get free kayak and other gear. The negatives were the dusty dirt road you have to drive to get there (which is not their fault, but which was not clear to me before booking), the mosquitoes, and the fact that a few stray dogs kept coming in when people were eating. They were harmless, I think the staff knows them, but it made me uncomfortable.

This place is truly special. It’s right on the water, so access is easy; you can enjoy both the pool and the lake. The food is very good (you can have all your meals at the hotel), the staff is warm and friendly, and the rooms are clean with very comfortable beds.

Absolutely amazing hotel. Beautiful room, gorgeous views and grounds, gourmet food and friendliest staff. We stayed there for 8 nights and absolutely loved it. Hotel offers various water activities, free paddleboard and kayaks and very reasonable boat and jetski rental. Room was spacious and clean, food in the restaurant delicious. Best papusas and seafood in entire El Salvador. They also have really good coffee and complimentary breakfast

The hotel is at the end of the narrow dirt road of the lake and is almost no street lights. It is too far away from the other hotels and water activities. Please consider this as you will be isolated from the rest of the island unless this is your objective. However, we found that the hotel does not offer enough amenities to make it worth while. There is one jetski and several padel boards and kayaks which will require you to have some level of fitness. There pool is dated and needed repairs (not how it was advertised) But please consider the fact the hotel sits on the south side of the lake which the mountain will cover the hotel earlier in the day which limits the sun light. This made the place seem darker and less conducent to stay out in the water. Our stay was in first week of December (for a point of reference) and this side of the lake was pretty lonely. If you're looking for a more active vibe this is not it. The have a day pass charge of $25 for each person and you are not allowed into any of the rooms. After a certain time you will not be allowed into the docking area near the water. My recommendation is to stay closer to the North eastern side of the island (towards the entrance) to take full advantage of the restaurant, bars and water activities.

The hotel is well taken care of. The hotel has a dock which you can sit down and relax while enjoying the view of the water. The staff is very friendly and offer superior service. The food is delicious and prepared in a timely manner. Josue was the mastermind behind the coffee that was sold. The coffee was great and he provided us with where the coffee was grown and how to enjoy.

Beautiful Property. Stayed one night passing through in a Lake View room. GORGEOUS location. The drive is 4 miles via tough dirt road so keep that 20 min ride in mind when headed that way. Restaurant served great food, although plan to wait about 45 mins to get it.

The road a bit bad to get there but worth it.

El Hotel Equinoccio es un lugar hermoso frente al Lago Coatepeque. Desde el primer momento encontramos un espacio limpio, cuidado y con un ambiente especial. Pudimos participar en la ceremonia del Equinoccio de otoño, organizada por el hotel, que fue algo muy lindo y significativo. También vivimos una experiencia distinta con Juan López, barista del hotel, quien nos ofreció una demostración de café excelente, explicada con detalle y pasión. La comida y las bebidas siempre salían a tiempo, bien preparadas y con muy buen sabor.

Al final, lo que marca la diferencia son las personas: quiero resaltar el trabajo de Eduardo, siempre atento y servicial. Además, la estadía incluye el desayuno y las actividades acuáticas como el kayak, lo cual añade mucho valor.

Si hubiera algo que recomendar para mejorar, sería tener un itinerario visible de las actividades tal vez en una pizarrita en el vestíbulo, sería un detalle muy útil para los huéspedes.

Definitivamente, un lugar al que me encantaría regresar.

Beautiful property with great facilities for meals on site. Wonderful covered two-story dock with fantastic view. We took their kayaks out in the morning for peaceful trip around lake - jet ski was also available. The road around the lake is pretty rough but once we got to the hotel, this was a perfect hideaway. Definitely recommend. El Salvador is the up and coming Central American vacation spot.

For foreigners, you have to go 20 minutes down a rock road which runs along the lake. Plenty of options for restaurants along the way. Fairly easy to locate, I would stress that you do not attempt to drive to or from here at night because of the road. The restaurant/bar on site had great food and I ate here each night. Decent alcohol selection. The views are the lake make it worth staying and only a hour or less out from major sites, I used it as my home base.

Staff were fantastic
