The property is small but very cozy and quiet. I love the sea view and sound from the room. It’s a family oriented , local owner. There no beach or sand to do your morning walk but that is this side of the country is. I enjoyed my stayed at the reef on the water.

There is no hot water. They just don't believe in it. This would probably be something to disclose on their listing. I asked the front desk and both employees just shrugged it off. One of them said no one asks for hot water. Not according to the reviews, which I should've read before I booked. Lesson learned. Also, if you plan on driving here, the drive way from the main road into the hotel is not paved just gravel and rocks, so be careful. The room is basic as it gets. I guess the pool and view is decent. That's about it.

The road to go into the property is awful is a dirt road, its bumpy rocky you need a high car like an suv or truck to get to the property. The property is nice it has a beautiful view, but the crew members are not very helpful and mean, we were 2 people staying in the room so they gave us 2 towels only, no towel mat, (it was slippery) or hand towel. They wanted to charge me $5 for an extra towel to use at the pool. Also they don't have night stands you have to charge the cell phone on the floor. Not friendly for people with disabilities no hand rails in the swimming pool or stairs. The breakfast was a typical salvadorian breakfast. I won't go back and don't recommend it there better places to stay.

The breakfast bread is so small that about a 1/4 of it was provided before. The canopy for the shade is so old that it is coming apart, and it makes it seem like a lock of maintenance. My room did not have much furniture, no chairs, no table for guests to visit, and sit down unless it was in the bed. No small refrigerator to keep drinks cool. I got a few bugs, like crickets, cockroaches, and one crab. When the rain came, water came under the door, creating a safety issue. All staff are very friendly, and they have 5 stars. Is the question. Would I stay there again? 80% yes. But I hope the owner may make some changes, at least provide a small fridge, 98% of the hotels have one. Maybe not normal in El Salvador, but maybe we can start here to make it normal.The tourists want that comfort, like we are home away from home. Thanks!
