this place is a great resort with views for days. staff is more than welcoming in their daily operations and are there to serve. the road way in is definitely a dirt road down the side of the surrounding mountains but our driver was great and got us in and out several times with no issue. very secure on site. i would surely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area

We loved this hotel. The view from our room was amazing. They served breakfast lunch and dinner on their main floor but just about 20 minutes drive there are many restaurants you can visit. The staff at this hotel was very pleasant and kept everything very clean. We woke up early one morning and jumped in the lake, a beautiful experience. We would definitely come back and hopefully for longer.

Beautiful lake location and well constructed concept with easy access to lake activities. However, it is a little far from the main road, so an AWD vehicle is recommended specially in rainy season.

The property is nice but the upkeep is lacking. Broken ceilings in the bar area, water/mold stained walls around the property, in room showers that have no or poor water pressure or no hot water. We got a two bed room with an odd smell. One of the two beds, when we were ready to go to bed, had a duvet cover whose underside (facing the bed) had a menstrual stain on it (cleary the room had not been properly cleaned as the floors were also dirty and the room's trash can had not been fully emptied). We complained and were ultimately moved to another room that did not have hot water. The hotel manager did not initially make himself available when I asked to speak with him about the blood stain, and I only had a chance to speak with him as I went to him when he finally came to see the blood stain as we were changing rooms. No reparations were offered beyond a change of room. The people working at the hotel seem to be short staffed and the manager seems to spend his time in his room instead of walking the property to make sure all is running well and that the guests are well taken care of. Be ready to pay high prices for mediocre quality.

Hotel itself its good, great view of the lake. Friendly staff. The location is kind of far from everything, not recommended uf you're traveling solo. The road to get to the hotel is a five km dirt road full of potholes, you need to drive very slow and careful to not damage your vehicle.

This hotel is situated in an ideal spot; very close to the island so that you see dozens of bird species from it's fabulous deck. The infinity pool is gorgeous as are all the grounds. Well worth the ride to the hotel! They have jet ski, kayaks and even will take you on a boat ride around the lake. The staff were absolutely spot-on. The food was very good. Rooms were comfortable and they use solar power to heat the shower (very hot water!) and provide power. Definitely will be back!

The best hotel stay I have ever had! It's hard to know where to begin The drive up to the property is a bit sketchy due to the unpaved road with lots of potholes. I drove a sedan and just had to take my time driving slowly and made it safely. The views of the lake are breathtaking from sun up to sundown. The property is sleek, clean, modern and comfortable. My room was quaint and had everything I needed. They even had hot water which is apparently uncommon for the area. I only stayed 1 day at the property and I wish I had stayed for my whole trip. I was 1 of 2 people staying at the property at the time and I felt like a celebrity who rented to whole place out lol. The whole staff was super kind and were quick to assist me with any of my needs. My first evening there I enjoyed dinner and drinks in the lounge/dining area. The food/drinks were really good, I happened to notice ALOT of geckos which is not something I'm used to so it freaked me out. Eduardo the amazing bar area attendant was super helpful by doing a sweep of my room to check for any critters before I went to sleep. This is not a negative remark against the hotel as that's just the wildlife there. The next morning I had my complimentary breakfast and then did my complimentary hour long kayak ride, shortly after I did the Jet ski which was $40 for 30 mins. My whole stay was a 10/10 experience and cannot wait to return

Amazing property and staff! The facilities and views were just perfect for our short stay. We relaxed by the pool, hiked the volcano (which the staff helped arrange transportation for- about an hours drive) and kayaked on the lake. The road to the hotel is very rough so take note and go slow! There is nothing to do within walking distance of the hotel so this is more of a “stay and play” kind of place. The lake, at least at the moment, wasn’t swimmable, and I hear it won’t be for a while. But they have kayaks, jet skis, paddle boards and boat ride opportunities! The food and service (and bartending skills!) were great! Overall, I highly recommend!

Beautiful place at the very end of the road around Lake Coatepeque. Super clean, great friendly staff, nice swimming pool onsite, private free parking, and the only minor inconvenience is its location, at the very end of the road that goes around Lake Coatepeque, so a bit isolated from everything else. A/C worked perfectly, but if you want to sleep in, do NOT get the rooms with lake views as the sun will shine right on you and even the blackout curtains won’t block it. Also, hot water pressure was very weak, which seems to be quite common in El Salvador. That said, a wonderful place with spectacular views of the lake, surrounded by beautiful views and nature at its finest, so I’d highly recommend it!
