Really enjoyed how it was home welcoming made it feel so cozy. Also, seeing how the staff makes sure the guests are well attended was a great. The breakfast plate called Típico Salvadoreano was so good, including the lemonade, and the Bowl De Frutas. I also loved how it was pet friendly even the furry members can enjoy a good stay. I would recommend this place. 10/10

The property was so beautiful! I booked the king beach from room and I loved it. The room has a modern and beachy esthetics, it was spacious and has everything you'd need. The view from our balcony was breathtaking and hearing the waves coming in was so peaceful. The hotel grounds are well kept, the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Looking for a luxury get away, then this is the place to book, I promise you won't regret it. We'll definitely be coming back.
