“Not worth it, stay elsewhere and use many of the free paths to the lake, and then go to a restaurant on the hill.”
Very beautiful rooms, comfy, cosy, quite a few geckos getting in through the window seals but that comes with the territory. Most of the staff were a delight and happy to go the extra mile. It was great to make free use of the kayaks too.

“Amazing views on the river”
Great location. The views are amazing and the deck makes all the difference - it completely changes the experience in this hotel. Large room and comfortable beds.

“A wonderful little oasis by the lake”
We had a brief stay here whilst on a 5 day trip to El Salvador . It’s really quite an oasis . It has a fabulous spot by the lake with kayaking and jet skis all available. We tried kayaking but were useless ! Food was good too . My partner really enjoyed his fish . It was super secure and the whole area was super safe .

“Stunning lakeside hotel with a great relaxed luxury vibe.”
This is a stunning property. Photographs do not do it justice. The setting is absolutely beautiful and the architecture of the building is equally as impressive, from the public area staircases to the swimming pool and beyond. Service was excellent and the food was decent but perhaps the hotels weakest feature. Great place for a romantic break. If we return to El Salvador, we would definitely schedule to stay here again.

“Quiet, secluded location far off the beaten track directly on the lake”
The location of the hotel is great (the road to get there is a different matter and is nothing the hotel can influence). The receptionist was lovely but overall I have to say the staff was not very friendly or helpful. The room size was good and we had a little balcony facing the lake. It was great to get a free kayak for one hour as part of the stay.

“Need to train staff to be more friendly -especially the guy in charge. not problem not coming back.”
the breakfast was just fine. Could include the juice or water for those that don't drink coffee or tea. I thought breakfast was included but we had to pay for juice and water for my sons that don't drink coffee or tea.
