El Zapote Vacation Rentals

"The big selling point here was that it’s a beach hotel. Unfortunately that’s where the excitement began and ended. The hotel has paint peeling in the hallways as well as in the bedrooms. There’s also a very distinct smell of mold throughout the first floor hallway and within the three bedrooms we occupied. In one of the rooms we had there was blood stains on the sheets. The hotel is open air throughout so theres no AC anywhere outside of your bedroom. Even the AC we did have was not that great. The beach is nice however the waves are strong and dangerous for inexperienced or younger swimmers. The pools were not particularly clean as there were lots of leaves and bugs in the pool. There’s very little staff at this hotel maintaining the property or bringing drinks to the pool guests. In fact after 10pm or so the front desk is completely unattended until someone returns in the morning. The food here is not great. I would estimate that over 80 to 90% of the guests here are locals. So while this is likely considered a pretty nice hotel for the locals, I don’t know that many foreigners would feel the same way. We ultimately decided to leave this hotel four nights early without any refund and move our vacation to a nicer hotel located in San Salvador just so we could be more comfortable. The hotel is also located in a very remote area with little to nothing to do. Sadly this hotel was a big disappointment. "

"Beautiful place on the estero side. "

"We had a great stay at this hotel! The room was nice, and the balcony with a view of the pool was a huge plus. My kids absolutely loved it. The pool itself was warm, which made it even more enjoyable. The entire property was beautiful the flowers and patio area really stood out and created a relaxing atmosphere. The food was pretty good as well, which was a nice bonus. My only small criticism is that they didn’t offer pupusas, which is one of the staples in El Salvador. It would’ve been great to have that authentic option available. Overall, it didn’t take away from a wonderful experience."

"The place was smaller than expected and unfortunately the direction weren’t sent accurately. Our guide managed to find the location only by the picture through Expedia because the host never communicated with us. The number provided through their website was never available. The gate keeper had to call the owner for us to get access to the property and he was bothered that we requested for him to be contacted. Owner blamed Expedia for the lack of communication. I never had any issues with Expedia and will continue using but I will never be back to the same place or recommend to anyone. WiFi is also not provided. If owner doesn’t wish to be bothered then he shouldn’t listed or hire someone to take care of their guests. "
