Gorgeous Location!!
The pictures do not do it justice! It was beautiful, the room smelled like a spa, the property is very well maintained and clean. We loved that it’s gated with an attendant. The best quality was a beautiful walk that goes straight into the lake! This was the highlight of our trip. The customer service in all of El Salvador was extraordinary, and no different at this location. Only tip for travelers, it is a long narrow and unpaved road to get to the hotel. Also, because we arrived at night, the gps said we were at the location but we had to drive up on that road for just a tad more. You will be better getting to this location during daylight. So very worth the drive.

The hotel and service was great. We had a beautiful view of the Coatepeque lake. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food in hotel was very delicious and authentic. The only downside is there is only one main road to access the hotel and the road is in very pour conditions. Overall, our stay was very comfortable and pleasant.

We loved our stay! It had a beautiful view of the lake. The pool was nice. The food was good. The only thing we didn’t like was the shower. Not enough water pressure. Water got hot really fast and you had to move the knob to lower and lower the temperature.

The stafff was great but no hoy water , water went on and off where at some point there was no water to shower in the room or sink. Blankets and shower were not clean . The driving to get to the property is very inconvenient needs renovation like 22 min away from the diners at lake Coatepeque. Had to look for another hotel after day 2. Other than that the staff was great helpful. Other thing is you have to be there by 9 or you won’t be able to get in per what security guard mentioned .
