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

Room tip: We stayed from Sunday to Thursday.. can’t imagine the congestion of people here on the weekend

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.

Room tip: Do NOT come here if you plan to tour around and return past midnight.

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.

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.

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.

Room tip: Room H-2 is good poolside choice.
