It wasn't what I expected; poor maintenance, nothing like what they claim to offer. I don't recommend it; the entrance is in bad condition.

Stunning Location

The restaurant and cabin are in a stunning location overlooking Lago Ilopango and Volcano San Salvador, and the owner is very kind and accommodating! The food and service were also great. My only regret is that I didn't stay more than one night!

I had the absolute pleasure of staying here for my birthday trip, and it was truly unforgettable! From the moment I arrived, Mr. Moises (the owner) and his wonderful staff welcomed me with such warmth that I instantly felt like part of their family. The property itself is breathtaking — the views alone are worth the trip, and if you enjoy glamping, this is the perfect place for you. Mr. Moises, who is also a talented chef, prepared different breakfast options each morning, which was such a thoughtful touch. He also took the time to personally give us a tour of his property, showing us the beautiful fruit and coffee grown right there. His knowledge and passion for El Salvador were incredible, and we left with such a deeper appreciation for the country. Throughout my entire stay, I felt completely safe and cared for. And as a dog lover, I was delighted by the adorable, friendly pups who greeted me each day — they made the experience even more special. This was my very first visit to this beautiful country, and my only regret is not being able to stay longer. I truly left a piece of my heart here and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Moises and Evelyn, for your hospitality and for going above and beyond to make my stay so memorable. Sending love from the USA — see you again soon!
