The apartment was very spacious and an excellent place to relax and cook your own food. The air conditioning worked really well, and this is one of the few places in el salvador with strong hot water if you need it. My kids loved exploring the property - lots of coconuts and mangos. We also caught some fish off the dock. For activities, We did a 1.5 hours kayak through the mangroves, which we enjoyed, but it is expensive for what you get ($30 for a double, $17 for a single). Our absolute favorite was the monkey sanctuary walk - for us it was excellent value for the money ($35 for our family of 5). The monkeys were fun (we fed them) and there is a ton of other wildlife (all sorts of birds, crocodiles, lizards, turtles, etc...). We did it twice!

Beautiful place

Beautiful place next to a river and the mangrove bushes. The lady at the service desk speaks very good English. That’s was very helpful. The excursion to the monkeys was very fun and the boat tour was beautiful!

Beautiful spot to see El Salvador’s flora and fauna (just come fully stocked!)

Beautiful location (isolated but perfect for bird watching & monkey spotting). Apartments came with their own bbq and were clean and air conditioned. Pool was gorgeous for relaxing.

I loved it

Personally I found this property to be excellent. Firstly the road to it. I didn't really know what to expect but I didn't find any real issue with it. Would I drive a Ferrari down it, maybe not or if I did I'd maybe do it at 10 kmph, in my Kia Picanto I was able to mostly stick to the speed limit of 20 kmph. I found every member of staff to be delightful, friendly and helpful. I found the accommodation to be lovely about a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk from the reception, restaurant, pool etc I found the meals and drinks to be lovely and a nice choice. They will even deliver to your accommodation if you chose. The pool I had completely to myself apart from the birds and passing Iguanas. The tour to the monkey sanctuary, to start with I was a little disappointed that I was told I needed to go with a guide. However if I hadn't I would more than likely have got lost or maybe attacked by quite a large croc that was pointed out to me by my lovely guide. The monkeys were obviously an absolute delight but so was the interaction between them and my guide. He must do that so often but he seemed to be enjoying their company as much as I did. They are definitely living wild but very friendly. I can't really think of anything else, all in all I thought it was excellent and a beautiful experience. Thank you

It was a really unique experience from the rest of El Salvador. A lot of nature and interesting activities. People are friendly and helpful. Food at the restaurant is really nice. We saw the monkeys and took an amazing boat trip to the island pajarito.

Fantastic getaway in the mangroves

Fantastic location right in the heart of the mangroves. Feels very secluded and peaceful. They offer boat tours through the waterways to see the wildlife and nature, as well as some guided walks. The guides weren't bird experts, but they could point out the different species and were able to get you nice and close. Access is through a series of well-guarded sugar cane fields and cocoa plantations before you end up in natural landscapes. The accommodation is a small collection of lovely raised cabanas in a forested area. The food is great (restaurant closes at 6) and the staff are very friendly. Pretty limited English but there are a few staff members who speak it well. Highly recommended!

Beautiful property by the water

Beautiful property situated by Juilisco Bay. The area was peaceful and the hospitality was top notch. Boat and kayak rentals are available, or you could just to just let the time pass by on a hammock. Carry plenty of sunscreen, insect repellant (natural as far as possible) and water, although they are all available at a slightly marked up price in a shop within the property. Part of the road leading to the property is unpaved but it is accessible by sedans/ smaller cars.
