Our room was beautiful. Breakfast was a typical Salvadoran breakfast. The coffee was amazing. Although we didn't speak Spanish, we were able to communicate with staff through Google Translate. The staff were all very patient and kind.

This place is so-so. The photos make it look better than it actually is. It’s a bit far from the beach, but close to the main trucks and cars route. There’s a church close by, so you can hear people singing at night for a couple of hours—not too bad, though. The breakfast is okay, nothing out of the ordinary. The staff are not very friendly; they just do their job. I don’t think I would stay here again. I would give it a 5 out of 10.

First of all I didn't have additional sheet to cover, if I turned on ac I'm too cold if I turned it off I'm too hot. No one speaks English on the property. The breakfast is mediocre. There's no hot water available, no iron, no ice, no microwave. This is it! I'm not complaining just thought this would be mentioned to others who planned to visit. Great view from the room with the glass door, Netflix available, and close to the beach walking distance. Safe area

Everything was super clean! The staff was extremely sweet and kind!! Also, breakfast was included which was a huge plus :) only thing was that there was no hot water - it was a bit colder than room temp. Then the following day, there was something wrong with the pump everywhere so the water was coming out brown and the toilets weren’t working so basically you were very limited with resources.

I have stayed at this hotel before and loved my stay that is why I rebooked it. Upon arrival I had to ask for extra towel only one was in the room. Had to ask for toilet paper there was none in the room nor toiletries. The sheets were stained it looked as if the room was not properly cleaned. I was disappointed with my stay at the hotel this time.

Okay. Here’s the deal here. This property is on a busy highway so it can get noisy. I booked for two rooms with queen beds, they were not. We also stayed for multiple nights hoping to get a turndown service, did not. Perhaps the most disappointing thing was that we had an early morning flight and had to leave very early and there was not a single staff member present. All the lights were off and gates closed. We were forced to write a note and leave our keys. The place is cute, has parking, and breakfast was amazing, but honestly, the fact that no one was working when we needed to check out really rattled me. We knocked on multiple employee doors, and sent various messages. I even left my kindle, messaged if there was anything they could do, didn’t hear A THING. I will not return.

Initially, we thought the area around it looked pretty slumish, but it is extremely safe and a short walk to the beach.
The rooms were spacious and clean. There was noise from the road but the owner was extremely nice and a place is extremely clean and for the price was a good deal.

My entire experience was terrible. I was in this property for one week in room number #7 the air conditioning is right above the headboard of the bed. It made a terrible loud noise by the 4 night I was so sick my throat head every part of my body hurt . The bathroom in the room had a terrible smell . The sheets were changed in my room and they were full of sand by then I was so sick I didn’t have energy to say anything I was stuck in the room which has no TV or phone to call lobby . This property has no pool . They do provide breakfast which will be made upon request. The surrounding area has no restaurants you have to walk 10 minutes to El tunco for dining . I would not recommend this place . The staff here were friendly that’s the only positive thing I can say .
