"La habitación era espaciosa, bien mantenida y estaba limpia. Las camas y almohadas eran cómodas. Las piscinas eran buenas y tranquilas. Los desayunos los mejores que hemos tomado en nuestra visita al El Salvador. Lo mejor de todo la amabilidad y servicialidad del equipo. Una mejora podría ser un pequeño gimnasio."
