I absolutely loved this hotel. It’s in the perfect location. It feels like a mini rainforest considering all the trees, plants and animals around. The hotel offers a tour around the lake and it’s nice to do. The restaurant makes delicious food and has both authentic and American options. The beach is directly across the street and has beautiful black volcanic sand. It’s pretty clean sand. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The shower had good water pressure which is a plus for me. The hotel is family friendly but also very fun for the adults. Additionally I liked that it was close proximity to the airport. I rented a car and it took me 34 minutes to get to and from the airport. To go to San Salvador centro histórico it was a 50 minute drive. I ate pupusas at a stand down the road and also at the nearby city San Luis Talpa. All in all I fully recommend it and staff is wonderful and safe.

I went to El Salvador for a surgery to remove two hernias at the AVANTE hospital and stayed here. The people are super affectionate and always address you by your name. The surrounding area is fantastic—there are monkeys, birds, several pools, and the beautiful beach right in front of you.
I was only a bit disappointed with the conditions of my room. Even though it had a beautiful view, there were a lot of spiderwebs next to the closet where the towels and clothes are kept. Also, water would accumulate a lot in the shower, as if the drain was clogged.
Other than that, the staff is super kind and constantly offering service and help at all times. I definitely recommend this hotel!\"

I didn’t like the front desk. She was not kind. She rolled her eyes at me. They kept my DL until I left the property. So I was driving without a license. I don’t think is right to do that. I’ve been traveling for more than 35 years and no hotel in the world has kept my ID. I COULDNT GIVE my passport. Just in case they loose it or I if I have to leave the country in an emergency. The food was great but the service was terrible. It was not busy that night. It took them a long time to come to take care of us. They were talking by the bar. The drink I ordered. I didn’t like. I didnt drink it. And I was still charged for it. Checking out another hassle. They didn’t wanted to give my id until somebody checked my room. So overall. I’m not coming back. I wish I could because I really liked the hotel. But the staff was horrible. Front desk. Bar restaurant. Even the parking attendant was not helpful. Very disappointed on the staff.

If you want to completely disconnect and have a pleasant experience, this is a great option. I’d say that it’s also a great place for families with children. The food is very flavorful and is cautiously prepared and served. I noticed that every dish was covered with a plastic wrapper, helping avoid mosquitoes or flies, lingering around your food prior to serving. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I could have not picked a better place.

Staff was super sweet and very attentive! Breakfast was included which was a plus. We stayed in a oceanfront room and heard the waves crash all day and night- so relaxing. We also had the chance to get a tour on a boat through the mangroves. I got to get a massage in too! Would recommend to anyone and will come back! Bar made some delicious tequila slushies too, freshly squeezed juice!

From the moment we arrived to the resort, everyone was great! We arrived late and they received us with a smile and great customer service. The room was beautiful and super comfortable. Big, spacious, with a nice recliner sofa and a big bathroom. Super clean and well supplied. The resort is keep very nice, clean and the staff is super nice. It has several pools and they were always clean during our stay. Their beach area has plenty of siting areas and they even have a lifeguard on duty. At night, they have a big firepit that you can seat around and enjoy the waves. The restaurant was a great surprise, the food and drinks are freshly made and well priced. The waitress are the most friendly ones I have ever encounter at any restaurant. I would like to mention that Antonio, the waitress was the best(not that the rest of them were any bad), he was always very friendly and serviceable, he took excellent care of us and always had a smile and a great suggestions.

Had an amazing stay, I don’t speak a word of Spanish and travelled alone. The staff ensured I was looked after made sure I understood them and they understood me. The service was absolutely fabulous, the rooms are great and the balcony view is why I came here and it delivered with the sounds of the waves crashing bringing serenity to my stay.
The complimentary massage also didn’t fail to please it was so on point I was upset I went on my last day as I would have gone everyday.
Overall a great little hotel with everything you need and a safe environment for alone travelers !!

I loved this hotel! Literally my favorite hotel I’ve experienced so far! I wish there were more hotels just because when I return I don’t plan to leave for the time of my stay. The food is great! Staff is great! Hotel is beautiful! On the ocean although the ocean is rough. My literal only complaint is that the stray dogs should be kept away from the beach restaurant patio seating. Apologies, I don’t hate animals, but that’s the only thing I did not like.

The hotel itself looked nice and overall clean. I frequently saw staff walking around maintaining the space, which I appreciated. The beds and crib were clean with fresh white sheets, which was a plus. However, the bathroom did not feel as clean—it felt like a completely different space. While packing up to leave, I noticed what appeared to be rodent droppings on the plastic cups provided for rinsing, which was very concerning.

The food was good, and the bar was well-equipped. That said, the service did not meet my expectations. The staff were not as friendly or welcoming as I’ve experienced at other hotels. During meals, both waiters we had were noticeably less attentive to our table compared to others, which stood out. It also took a long time for food to come out, which could be frustrating if you’re on a tighter schedule.

The room was not very toddler-friendly, as there were many breakable items, which made it stressful while staying with two young children.

Overall, the property is nice, but the hospitality fell short for me.

My reservation was three adults and a 18 months baby four people full prices total. (The baby paid full price too). The breakfast was included for the three of us but nothing for the baby which I thought it was odd but I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. I just thought of writing it in the reviews so people would know. The place was beautiful and clean, the reason why I gave it 4stars is because of the food. The waitress were not attentive they just came with the food and drinks and that was it. Never came back to check if anything else was ok or if we wanted to order more. And over all like I said, the food wasn’t great just normal.

We are Americans and spent 9 days there during spring break with 10 & 18 year old. We had two room that overlooked the estuary rooms 43 & 44. I recommend these room however they can be a bit loud sporadically during the night because the monkey cage and aquatic birds. We love to bird watch so for us this room was ideal.

The food was overall very good. Not gourmet but it actually exceeded my expectations. No one got sick and we ate raw vegetables, but mainly fish and chicken. The breakfast was similar to any typical Central American breakfast. The service at times was slow but it was a busy holiday week. I thought there was excellent value for the price & quantity of the food. Unfortunately my Spanish didn’t get me far, but the staff did their best to communicate- Make sure you have Google Translate up. The reception and other staff were also very helpful.

The pools and beach are great. We went fishing in the estuary by contacting the front desk it’s $20 an hour for the boat and driver - which was a lot of fun. I recommend bring some retractable rods, tiny hooks, and tackle. We also took some hikes back in the nature preserves. I saw wild parrots and orioles.

I recommend doing day trips like the volcanos and going into downtown San Salvador. To break up your time

I do wish the grounds were cleaner. There is litter in the mangroves and in the nature preserve. This could easily be cleaned up.

We all had a nice time an hope this helps

We had a very enjoyable stay. The location is excellent; we had the beach to ourselves. The staff were consistently attentive and helpful, contributing to a smooth and pleasant experience throughout our visit.

The poolside service was wonderful, and the servers were very attentive. The variety of animals on the property was a unique feature that our kids especially appreciated. We also made great use of both the pools and the beach, which were clean and inviting.

One distinctive touch was the traditional room setup—they provide a box with a physical key and remotes, which adds a bit of character and a sense of stepping back in time.

Overall, this is a budget-friendly, family-oriented option that delivers good value and a welcoming atmosphere.

This was one of the most unsanitary hotels I’ve ever stayed in. There were spider webs and bugs throughout the room, which made it clear cleanliness is not a priority here. The food and drinks were also disappointing and did not meet basic expectations.

Customer service was extremely poor. Communication was difficult at the front desk, and getting assistance felt frustrating and unhelpful. On top of that, there were serious electrical issues—my iPhone 17 Pro Max took nearly 9 hours to charge, which is completely unacceptable.

Safety is also a major concern. There appears to be no real security, and the front entrance is open for anyone to walk in. I would not consider this a safe environment, especially for families or children.

Overall, this hotel failed on every level—cleanliness, service, functionality, and safety. Do not be misled by the photos. I would not recommend staying here.

The location was extremely beautiful as were the rooms. We booked two, one bungalow for 6 people and a room for 4 with two queens beds.

The beds in the bungalow were very springy and seemed older but still a good stay.

The restaurant and 4 pools and beach were amazing. One of a kind sunsets and the food and drinks at the bar are really good and priced well for beach front views.

We will definitely be back and highly recommend buying snacks like chips, dips and sandwiches before you arrive . The food is great there but def need more snack options for on the go or for kids who wanna snack, juices, candies etc

Hotel facility is very cute we enjoy the stay here. The only complaint would be too many men worker standing around made us as family feel little uncomfortable. But the room is clean the staff’s are very friendly.

Very relaxing resort. Plenty of pools and the staff were wonderful, however language barrier was an issue. One thing that would enhance the experience would be events at the hotel, example- līve music or shows, local craft nights, etc.. A representative to book tours would be an added bonus for customers who don’t rent a car. There is nothing nearby so if you don’t have a vehicle..after a couple days you’ve covered the whole resort and there is nothing to do. When we arrived SAL , we waited 1 1/2 hrs waiting for Christian (our shuttle driver), we had no idea what he looked like and he spoke no English. When we rented a car for the last 2days- Christian said we can just go into the terminal & get our car and no reservation required. Not true, we couldn’t get into the terminal, car agency rep had to come out and they didn’t speak any English. Luckily we had poki-fi and signed on and got car rental online. Other than language barriers- we were very pleased with the Hotel Estero Y Mar resort. It’s a beautiful resort. however if we ever go to El-Salvador again~ we’d rent a resort in La-Libertad

My family & i come here every time we travel to El Salvador. Beautiful place to stay & SOOO peaceful the staff is 100% the best & reliable. A beautiful hidden gem not too far from the airport & they connected us with someone who could pick us up at the airport his name was Andres what a beautiful soul, so genuine. I forgot the staff members name he was a server a nice man every year we go he is always attentive with everything. Every year we go back he's always so nice & remembers us the hotel staff checking you in is so pleasant & upgraded us to an ocean view when i book through expedia such an amazing establishment.

It's a beautiful property by the beach but the quality of the food is terrible, they use frozen ingredients and cans and I found piece of plastics inside of my food (inside of casamiento) and you have to drive more than half an hour to just find a regular restaurant to eat, you smell of sewer everywhere in the hotel, this smell was in my room and i feel it all 7 days of my stay, I throw up few times at the night and I wasnt able to go to bathroom because of this smell, I asked them to fix it but it was just good for few hours then you smell it again, I asked them to use a air refreshener in my room to help the smell go but they used the bug killer spray in my room and whole night I had pain in my chest and caughed and when i woke up in the morning I saw lots of dead bugs in my room that I found out it wasnt air refreshener because nobody knows English there they use app to translate, it was a terrible experince at front desk and when I was going to order food, nobody understand English and this is terrible for a hotel, lots of people that I saw staying there was local or Spanish people, I saw few tourist and I dont recomend this hotel for tourist.
When I reserved the hotel I got %20 off for Spa and I planned to use spa almost everyday but unfortunately they had no spa they said the person that do the spa is sick and she is not gonna come back in few months, then all my plan for relaxing was gone.
The staff are very nice but I dont recomend this hotel to no one.

The hotel advertises deluxe rooms as “ocean or pool view,” which it should not do; they should book rooms with different views separately, so customers can know what they would get. I sent the hotel a message with my reservation pleading for an ocean view. The hotel did not respond. When I arrived, I asked hopefully, “Do you have a room for me with ocean view?” The check-in woman responded: “Did you book on Expedia?” When I said yes, she replied “Your room has a pool view” and gave me a look I interpreted to mean “well that’s what happens when you don’t book directly.\" That makes their advertising here dishonest, if they intend to make only pool view available.
Also do not expect to get any VIP benefit offered. I booked in part because of 20% off massages. But after arriving, I asked to book a massage and was told they would not be offering massage during my stay. Another deception.
Because of these disappointments, I asked, nicely, to leave a day early and have my last night refunded. They refused, rudely.
Also do not book here if looking for a quiet place. They book a lot of large families with young children, and they do not make any of their four pools adults-only.
The place itself is nice and in a lovely (though very remote) location. Room interior fine, though not as nice as the pictures. Toilet seat loose, sole toiletry provided is a mini-shampoo tear-open packet. Good breakfast, friendly staff.

Much better than I expected! Booked almost at random, last minute. The photos looked nice so I booked. Wow was I impressed. The grounds are whimsical and interesting and my upgraded room was huge, appointed and spotless. The staff, at least one in five spoke perfect English, are attentive, always smiling and plentiful enough that whenever you turn around someone is nearby to assist. Absolutely superb weekend.

Breakfast menu was small and their omelette which I chose was not great. Folded ham and Kraft cheese inside of the egg. All the other food was great and the servers were kind. The suite we reserved was spacious with a wonderful view of the ocean. The AC stopped working in the bedroom around 2am but since we were only staying the one night we didn’t call for help. The bathrooms need exhaust fans but everything else was perfect. The property is spacious and well cared for. There are a lot of stray dogs in the restaurant area which is sad and kind of scary because of the risk of getting ticks. They offer a late check out but don’t mention that out comes with an additional charge. FYI
