Terrible experience
This hotel was a terrible choice. The staff was rude, and the restaurant was so-so. We got a much worse room than we thought we booked. The room had no view and looked more like a cell with one tiny window high up on the wall, not a hotel room. Even though we paid for additional guests (two adults and two children, so 40$ extra per child), the extra beds were not made. When we asked for them to be made, the staff handed us the sheets and we had to do it ourselves. We also had to ask for extra towels, the bathroom mat was also missing. The staff was rude and non-responsive to requests and questions. The so called private beach are large rocks in the water and one cannot enter the water, so one can only watch the waves. There is no shade whatsoever that is adequate so there is nowhere to rest or relax during the day. The only redeeming feature of this hotel is the view (if one is lucky to stay in a room with a view). For us, it was a thoroughly unpleasant stay. We were made unwelcome and undesired guests. When we tried to discuss this with the staff, they were rude and unresponsive. When we complained, the manager hung up on us in response

El hotel es pequeño, la ubicación es buena, áreas comunes son lindas con hermosa vista. Las habitaciones son muy básicas, camas, tv, baño y listo. El baño es muy pequeño. El desayuno incluído es muy simple y no tienen opciones para enriquecerlo ni con pago. A mi llegada no estaba lista mi habitación para esa noche y me dieron otra muy pequeña y con una sola cama matrimonial, aunque eramos 2 adultos y un niño

Great ocean view, but the rest needs improvements
The ocean view room was amazing because of the floor to ceiling windows and the position of the bed facing the ocean. The room was small, but decent enough. The only 3 things that I didn’t like was that it didn’t have a closet and there were a few issues with the bathroom. The sink was too small, it was clogged and it didn’t have any storage space. The shower was also clogged, the shower curtain was dingy and dirty, there were hairs on the walls and there was absolutely no space to place the soap, shampoo/conditioner, or anything really. Lastly, the towels were too old and super thin and the pillows were too small.

My stay at this hotel was terrible. The sheets smelled bad (like they were dirty), as did the towels. The shower curtain was full of mold, and the shower floor smelled like urine. They didn’t provide shampoo or conditioner, and when we asked, the manager told us that the “shower gel” was meant to be used as shampoo and conditioner. The rooms don’t have closets, just a small rack to hang your clothes. The TV doesn’t have cable, only Netflix. The internet gets turned off at 10:30 PM, which means you also lose access to the TV at that time. The hotel entrance is in terrible condition; the road isn’t suitable for low cars, with big potholes that can damage your vehicle. The staff is very friendly and does what they can, but I definitely wouldn’t stay here again, and I don’t recommend it. ———————————————————— Mi estadía en este hotel fue horrible, las sábanas olían feo (como si estuvieran sucias) igual que las toallas, la cortina de la ducha estaba llena de hongos y el piso de la ducha olía a orina. No nos proporcionaron shampoo ni acondicionador y cuando preguntamos la encargada nos dijo que el “shower gel” era el que se usaba como shampoo y acondicionador…. Las habitaciones no tienen closet solo un pequeño rack para colgar tu ropa, la televisión no tiene cable solo Netflix… el internet lo apagan a las 10:30pm por lo cual a esa hora también te quedas sin TV… La entrada al hotel está terrible la calle no es para carro bajito, hay hoyos feos donde puedes lastimar tu carro.

Stay here if you want to experience a beautiful ocean view and the sound of waves crashing on the reef. The hotel is simple, clean and well maintained. The staff is helpful and friendly. As mentioned in other reviews, the short drive from the main highway to the hotel has some pot holes. But they are not uncommon in El Salvador. Hotel breakfast and restaurant serve good food. The staff are great. The pool was wonderful with beautiful nightly sunsets. The WiFi was adequate for general needs and calls. Not strong enough for video calls. Highly recommend walking down the stairs to the reef. At low tide, of course.

Stayed for one and it was nice! Clean, and beautiful views but the rooms were small with small windows unless you had the ocean view rooms. The food was good but the restaurant wasn’t staffed well and took a very long time. Would stay again for a brief stay, very close to La Libertad and El Tunco.

Me gustó la vista al Océano, pero lo que no me gustó fue los Baños, cuando uno se está bañando, la regadera no tienen puertas y eso hace que tola el agua salga y se moje todo el piso del Baño y uno tiene que estar secando el piso.

The view is absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t get to the beach but it is walkable through the rocks when the tide is low. Great value for the price.
