A wondefrul ocean front property. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Beatiful ocean view at reasonable price locayed a short walk from El Tunco. I love that is is not trying to be overly modern and fancy and feels like real surf stay.

Had an amazing time in El Salvador! 🌴 We stayed at The Reef on the Water and the staff was wonderful — very attentive and quick with food and drinks. The only downside is that you can’t bring any outside food or drinks to your room, and since the bar closes at 9pm it can be a little inconvenient. Other than that, everything was perfect and I’d definitely go back!
