This resort has a clasdic spanish feel as soon as you walk in. Nice pool, bar and outsoor area to lounge around with access to the beach. Overall great but check your room size before booking.
It was a cute property. The staff very hospitable. the down side is, no towels. Wish i’d known so i’d bring my own

The staff was friendly and nice.
We were part of a large group that had communicated to the resort that we were coming. They had months in advance notice.
When I showed up to the hotel I was told I had a balance for the two rooms. Fortunately I had the itemized receipt and was able to show them what I had paid.
We ordered food and it took well over an hour and a half to get our food. It was absolutely delicious but everyone was upset at how long it was taking. People waited over two hours for food.
The rooms are small. The A/C was not working and they were only to place a fan in the room. There aren’t many outlets so bring an extension cord.
The overall look of the hotel is adorable. The beach was great.
I stayed for one night. To be totally objective so these local hotels are able to improve to better standards.. this hotel needs a lot of improvement with the basic infrastructure in the room - it is very dated, and stains everywhere in the ceiling and everywhere. In the bathroom, the water facet is broken. There is no breakfast menu, only the local breakfast that is available as they are included in your room. They also charge you for extra black coffee.. There was some kind of karaoke happening at the pool area, and it was really loud where you couldnt rest in your room at all. One thing positive was the immediate response the front desk gives you when reached out for this noise, they immediately responded and quietened them down. Otherwise, everything was very average or below.
Overall the property was nice. If you do stay there make sure to take a mosquito repellent. I think if the property had a few mosquito zappers it would really help
To get away and forget about your problems your work great place to go rest have peace of mind the service outstanding, the staff outstanding the place in cleansing outstanding
The property is well kept and nicely landscaped. The hotel restaurant is right in front of the beach. The food is excellent and the staff is attentive. The management is great and made our stay very pleasant.
The place is undergoing renovation, not dirty but still need improvements. The room was spacious as it was the restroom. The food was great, no complaints, the service was excellent in every-way, the staff was very eager to assist in every-way possible. I would recommend this place and will return for sure, maybe next time they are complete with the renovations. Cheers..
Great place to relax. Enjoy your vacation place was excellent. I’ll stand it stayed at other places here in El Salvador but this one really outstanding great laid-back, mellow and relax forget about all your problems.
Such a bad experience!!
I'm upset that Expedia supports such a dirty place .
No food / expensive/ Heath Hazzard. The room smells/ the terrible/the pool filthy /the seating filthy/the door didn't lock and had a half and inch opening that let all the mostitos in . The tv broken/ no internet .
The admin doesn't care . We did not run away because it was late to find a different place.This stablishment should be banned from operating.
It's not a hotel . Stay away . We plaid the price already so no one can have such a horrible experience.
