Perfect location, right on the beach. Small, which is what we like. Great food, great staff. Noisy at night, especially on weekends, so can be a little difficult to sleep. No hot water, which was a surprise, but we managed. We would stay here again.

The place is very popular, there is no complaint about that. The waiters are good, the kitchen is good. The only bad thing is the room, it has no ventilation, the air conditioning was not working. The room had a bad smell.

Good stay and educational

I stayed here one night as part of a longer trip in El Salvador. Although I had read the reports I still made the mistake of booking a room with a bathroom. Granted I did have a bathroom but it was on the other side of the restaurant, so funny, makes me laugh even now. If you want your own bathroom I think you simply have to make sure you get the room with a "private" bathroom. All that said I had a lovely stay here. as with all of El Salvador, lovely staff and beautiful surroundings.

This is my 2nd time staying and dining at Olas Permanentes. I absolutely love this place. The staff is super kind and friendly, and they always have a willingness to help and accommodate you. (Make sure to tip the staff and treat them with kindness) If the staff treats the customer right, it only means that the owner or manager of this place takes good care of them, as they should. The food is delicious. I haven't tried their whole menu yet, but I intend to. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. My 1st stay was in the Dolphin room (shared bathroom), and my 2nd was in the Turtle room. (There's a bathroom in the turtle room) Both times, the rooms were air-conditioned and clean. I slept like a baby. The 1st time I visited, there was a warrior dog named Kira. She was the most protective and cheerful dog I have ever seen. She keeps us company while we head down to the beach and walks us back to our room. I love that they are pet-friendly. I was sad to hear Kira is no longer with us, but she will always be remembered. I took pictures with her; who knew even a dog could make such a difference in your stay? I hope to come back very soon to watch a sunset while enjoying a ceviche de camarón and sipping on a Suprema.

Great location right next to the beach. Food was pretty good with many options available. However rooms are situated right beside the restaurant so it can be very noisy with people walking by all the time. Overall, the property needs updating.

Came for the first time last year in March, fell in love with it and I’ve been back to El Salvador 5 times and each time I make sure I stay here at least 2 days. Beautiful place with wonderful staff. Shout out to Mike the waiter who always remembered me and always gives great service.
