If you looking for a great hotel to stay while this is the place to be. It has everything you need a sport bar in the basement, exercise room, jacuzzi room, pool with amazing view, delicious breakfast buffet, and great nice staff. It was last minute trip for the weekend and it was an amazing trip. It was my first time ever coming to El Salvador and I definitely will come back again and especially in this Hotel. I was able to meet people all around the world staying in this hotel. I will definitely share my pictures of my trip.

Ok but won’t return

We arrived early and they made us pay for entire whole night and never even offered breakfast even though we paid for it. they were not flexible at all. We asked for extra water and told we can only have 2 waters even though we were a party of 5 with 2 rooms. We just felt everything was so difficult. Breakfast was great but was missing the authentic flavors compared to what’s in the area. Beds ok, rooms outdated, WiFi slow, room service was fast and great tasting. To me it’s not worth the expensive price you pay per night- I will never stay there again.
