First time visiting El Salvador? This is a GREAT place to stay. It's modern and clean with a very friendly staff. The restaurant is great. There are a lot of other dining and drinking options within walking distance. The hotel works with a taxi service that will take on day trips anywhere you want to go in the country. Take advantage of that. You don't have to rent a car or worry about driving.

Photos do no Justice.
I wanted to take a vacation for the 4th of July holiday and I wanted to be somewhere centrally located. The photos of the property plus the location made booking easy. But staying has made me want to come back. The large spacious shower is a lovely addition to the individual garden. The rooms are quiet, and the lighting is nice. I could not get out of the robe and slippers. I rushed back to the room to stay out them on. It helped that the restaurant has some of the best lamb lasagna I have ever had. I didn’t have to leave to get food but if I did there was a variety just across the street. Oh and don’t get me started on the french toast, I am now a fan of Dulce de Leche as a syrup alternative. I am already making plans to come back and I will be staying here.

Lovely boutique hotel with 5 rooms. Peaceful oasis
Staff friendly and helpful. Grounds pleasing and well-kept. Shares space with perhaps the best restaurant in town. Rooms are dated- some would say "authentic"- but very large with high ceilings.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED
Beautiful, clean, comfortable. EXCELLENT STAFF. Felt like being welcomed in to a friend's home. Our room was large and very comfortable. The staff in the bar were very professional and attentive. The menu in the dining room was extensive. We had eaten during our flights, but our small dog had not. The chef prepared a beautiful piece of fish for him! Prices are very reasonable. Our only regret was that we could only stay one night. Looking forward to a return visit!!

At first we had some issues with checkin in as the hotel closes at 10pm, so we were stressed to make it by that time. Once we get there, everything ran smoothly. The rooms are georgous, however the bed was too soft making sleep a little umconfortable. Other than that, the place is nice. Very good restaurant. We loved the privacy and comfort. We'll go back for sure!
