It was such an amazing stay. We stayed two night. I personally think 2-3 nights is ideal since it hard to get out and come in. The dirt road to the hotel in has a lot of potholes. Would definitely stay here again

Beautiful property with great facilities for meals on site. Wonderful covered two-story dock with fantastic view. We took their kayaks out in the morning for peaceful trip around lake - jet ski was also available. The road around the lake is pretty rough but once we got to the hotel, this was a perfect hideaway. Definitely recommend. El Salvador is the up and coming Central American vacation spot.

Great view of the lake. They have activities like kayaking (complimentary) and jetski (for rent). The staff is okay can be more attentive. Be warned: the road that leads to the hotel is really hard to drive in. All in all nice place with great views. They provide free breakfast and have food and liquor available.

For foreigners, you have to go 20 minutes down a rock road which runs along the lake. Plenty of options for restaurants along the way. Fairly easy to locate, I would stress that you do not attempt to drive to or from here at night because of the road. The restaurant/bar on site had great food and I ate here each night. Decent alcohol selection. The views are the lake make it worth staying and only a hour or less out from major sites, I used it as my home base. Staff were fantastic
