Tamanique

10/10 Excellent

We were a large group (family reunion) traveling from two countries. The included breakfast was wonderful (keep in mind, portions in El Salvador are not as large as in Western countries) and if we needed more food, the prices were reasonable. The property was relaxing, clean, and peaceful. We enjoyed rotating between the two pool sections and the wonderful jacuzzi on the second floor. that overlooks the property. The staff was very attentive and happy. I highly recommend paying for your drinks...

Beautiful, welcoming place!! this is the place to be! Everything is natural, organic or locally grown! Palo Verde is the only sustainable hotel in El Salvador.

The Views Resort

Tamanique

10/10 Excellent

I loved the pool. I'm a swimmer and the pool was open enough to do laps, especially in the morning and in the evening. The food is excellent. I tried several finger-licking delicious dishes, but my favorite was the fresh fish ceviche. The staff was attentive and friendly. The beach had several lifeguards watching out for surfers, but the left side of the beach is rocky and hard to navigate. There are a couple of nice restaurants at the end of the road a few steps away from The Views, and...

Hotel Michanti

Chiltiupan

10/10 Excellent

I stayed 2 weeks in one of the "long stay" rooms. So you know what you're getting: - The food was excellent. - El Zonte during the off-season is a very sleepy town. - It's a 3 or 4 minute walk to get from Hotel Michanti to the beach. - The rooms were clean and very basic: No TV, no hot water, cement floors (at least in the long stay rooms). - The beds were comfortable - The staff were gracious and friendly. - You will need to cross the little river to get to the other side of El Zonte, which it...

Our stay at this property was wonderful, the staff was friendly and you get a wonderful view of the ocean. The food and drink options are amazing at the nearby restaurant. However, during our stay the power went off one night for a few hours, there was no number to call (I texted the Whatsapp number and didn't get a reply until the next morning) and we didn't have anyone come check on us. We wish they would have, so that we could have asked for some candles to lit up the rooms. Other than that...

Olas Permanentes, a gorgeous place to relax, enjoy the beach, surf, well-prepared food, amazingly friendly staff extremely helpful all the time. I spent a few days at the property and all I can say is love it. Stress free check in and check out process. At the restaurant, you can find a wide variety of options, highly regarded meals with excellent quality and flavor. They offer amazing micheladas, which are a real treat with the heat of the beach.

10/10 Excellent

My wife and I stayed at Casaola Mizata for a friend’s wedding nearby and had a wonderful experience. The property is clean, quiet, and charming—just steps from the beach. The pool was crystal clear and refreshing. While there’s some cosmetic chipping due to sun exposure, it doesn’t affect how clean and relaxing the space is. The food and drinks were simple but satisfying. There’s also a yoga space and a quiet room with Wi-Fi if you need to work. The real standout, though, is Sergio, the owner....
