Detailed Reviews
Problems -
••Sparse or no monitoring of:
•Pool (COVID-related) capacities
•Pool attire
•Very young kids/babies (in diapers) in pool
•Checks of pool chemical levels
•Unaccompanied kids in pool
••Airport pickup was problematic. There was a change from 16 months ago in the airport pickup location (due to COVID) from just outside Arrivals to a parking area some distance away. This change of location was never communicated at booking the transfer or anytime prior to the delayed nighttime flight arrival. This resulted in an unpleasant night on an airport bench before the Roca Sunzal receptionist could be contacted by phone or email the next morning.
Pluses-
••Good WiFi and electrical outlets with only a single, brief outage
••Very dedicated, conscientious and professional owner and staff
••Consistent daily pool cleaning
••Good opportunity to experience some Salvadorian approaches to surfing and oceanfront holidays
••Exemplary housekeeping
••Very gracious compensation for the airport transfer foul up by a change to more upscale accommodations for some of the reserved stay.

My family and I traveled to El Tunco for a couple of days. I decided on staying at Roca Sunzal after reading positive reviews and honestly the reviews did not disappoint. We stayed for only a couple of nights but this hotel definitely met mine and my family’s expectations. The location has guarded parking (felt safe) and there is security walking around throughout the day. We booked an ocean view room with 3 beds. The room was clean and was esthetically pleasing. The pools are located centrally and although we only used them in the morning, they were clean. The hotel is located steps away from the beach. In the morning, the front desk called and asked if we wanted room service and although we opted out they brought up extra towels and water bottles. There is a restaurant located ocean front and breakfast was included. There is a limited selection but it was delicious. Since I was traveling solo back to the states, I scheduled a shuttle to the airport which cost me $45 (not sure if that’s an average price or not) . My only drawback was that a couple of days before my stay they ran my credit card and somehow emailed me that my card was not valid. I called the hotel and they said it was an issue w my bank, however after calling my bank they said the hotel ran it and withdrew themselves. Anyhow, it somehow got resolved. Other than that I was please with my stay and would definitely stay there again!

I am having a hard time writing this and it has taken this long to be able to put my gratitude into words. I want to express how great the staff at Roca Sunzal treated me and my son. My husband, 73, suffered a stroke while surfing and was rescued by the lifeguards and concerned locals, transferred to the public hospital in Santa Tecla (not recommended for foreigners), and succumbed the following day. If not for the hotels wrist band, who knows how long it would have taken to find me... The bright side of this terrible incident was the staff, who were there for me and my son who flew down to help. Wilfredo, Arely, Carlos, Marcos and more were so generous and kind. Wilfredo was fantastic as he speaks perfect English and took us to the city multiple times as a driver and translator. He was so great, and we even were blessed to meet his wife and kids. The front desk staff Arely and Marcos were always there to help and attempt to brighten our day and stay. We had a chance to meet the owner, and he explained that this hasn't happened in El Tunco in the last 20 years he's been operating his many establishments there, and that they we so sorry and have learned a lot of lessons if it happens to anyone again. In total I was there about 20+ days and the staff were always courteous, and caring of our needs, the food was always fresh and delicious, the accommodations were super clean and I truly look forward to returning under better circumstances. I want to thank you all at Roca Sunzal !!! Cheryl and Ernie

Small oceanfront hotel in the heart of El Tunco . Great to surf if you’re into that or just great to watch the tides and waves. Steps to lots of bars and restaurants. Pool is refreshing and well maintained. Noise level amps up at night , Rooms were basic but beats any of the surrounding hostels. Beautiful sunset every night

We were here for two nights. If we had not already booked our whole tour, we would have definitely stayed longer. We had a room with a sea view of the Roca Sunzal. Sunrises and sunrises can be seen from the balcony or on the beach. The breakfast is fantastic. The staff is very accommodating, cordial and discreet. The entire facility is well maintained and very clean. The WLAN works perfectly in all areas. It even reaches parts of the beach. We felt safe at all times and were able to relax well. There was also live music.

Nice hotel. The rooms were clean and the air was cold. Eating at the restaurant was nice with a beautiful view of the ocean. The food was OK. I’ve had much worse (looking at you Decameron). The area has been much improved from a year ago since I last visited. We were in the corner room closest to the karaoke bar and I couldn’t hear much from inside my room. Overall a relaxing place.

Room Tip: If you want to go play on the beach, this isn’t the place to stay. Little sand, bog waves.

The best thing about this hotel & restaurant is the location. It goes downhill from there.
There’s no warm water at sink or shower. Beds are stiff and old. Room is very dated and in need of updating.
Shampoo and conditioner provided suck, no body wash provided.
Breakfast included is fine.
Location is right in front of El Tunco and gorgeous views from breakfast. Walkable to lots of other shops and eateries.
Pools are small but nice.
Building is very old so you hear EVERYTHING.
Feels like an old two star motel.

Look for something else. I have just spent over 1 hour banging on the gate for the guard to let me into the premises after midnight. DEFINITELY NOT worth over a hundred dollars plus per night! the parking lot was full when we arrived around 4pm because the the place was oversold.

How does a room not offer hot water? Apparently not every room has it. At this price you should have hot water. It’s that required by some hotel standard?
On a positive note, the views and location are amazing. Employees were very friendly. Room was very clean.
Just do your homework and make sure you will have a room that has a hot water knob!

This is a nice hotel located right on the beach. Try and book a room with a view. It was lovely to wake up to the sounds of the waves. The sunset was stunning. Loads of restaurants, shops and bars around. Location is excellent. Rooms were nice. Big and spacious. There are different room options and I treated myself to a nice room. Staff were pleasant and some spoke English. The hotel had a restaurant. I had dinner there on one evening which was nice. A few small negatives. The layout of the hotel and rooms were a bit strange so remember where your room is. Some may find it noisy and too busy but this did not bother me. If your looking for a peaceful beach break, then stay somewhere else.
