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.

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!

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.

El hotel es hotel y restaurante. Desafortunadamente había una fiesta navideña -de la cual no teníamos conocimiento- y la música estuvo hasta la medianoche a un nivel altísimo. El encargado nos cambió de habitación pero no hubo manera de dormir hasta pasada la medianoche. El hotel y todo es maravilloso, pero si hay eventos con alto ruido deben de advertir a los huéspedes. De haber sabido, habría buscado otro hotel.
