Disappointing is an understatement

Other reviews stating renovations are needed, are an understatement. The location is lovely, and the main pool beside Vilma's house was maintained well, but that's where the good ended. The images online show a pool down on the beach.The pool is there but there is no water in it, only sand and garbage.

Hidden Gem

We had a great stay. Ms. Vilma was a warm host and was quick to respond any questions we had. We stayed in a little hut that was very beautiful, breathtaking, and relaxing. There are nice restaurants in the area. Ms.Vilma was so sweet she served us with her home cooked typical salvadorian breakfast, it was delicious. We cant wait to go back.

Beach escape

We had a fabulous time at Vilma’s beautiful clifside property! There was a slice of beach with great water for wading or wave surfing, and a lovely pool with plenty of shade. Our room was the perfect size for the three of us—my partner and daughter—with a kitchen to prepare meals. We loved the breakfasts!!! José took great care of us too. Wonderful people and super chill vibe. Also the location was fantastic, not far from the city, close to restaurants and busier beaches. Would return for sure!

The most romantic experience of your life!

Second time staying on the property and just as memorable! Vilma is an amazing hostess. Incredibly accommodating with the most romantic setting anyone could ask for. A private beach that can’t be reached by anyone even at low tide from the points. Epic sunsets combined with lush, tropical surroundings make for an incredibly relaxing time! Can’t wait to get back!

Amazing simple bungalow cool n the beach

We loved this spot. You can’t be any closer to the beach, the sand a few feet from your sliding glass door. Vilma the host was incredible, so accommodating for anything extra we needed. Our room was super basic but all we needed and comfortable listening to the waves lull us to sleep each night, daily walks on the beach and dips steps from our door and mid day when it was hot just laying in bed in the AC still overlooking the ocean. I highly recommend and I will be back!!!

A Hidden Gem

The property was above and beyond anything I could expect. Vilma as a host is like family treated me so well and always was helpful. She goes above and beyond to help you feel welcome and at home. The beach was private and was basically heaven, always available and a dream come true. I plan to come back next year and see my friends again 😁.

6 Nights at Xanadu, La Libertad El Salvador

Perfect location, very good service by Yani, poor accommodations. The bungalows had multiple leaks, the doors got stuck, poor illumination, the whole place needs to be maintained properly. I am not coming back to this place for sure. However, this place has a lot of potential!!

True bed 'n breakfast in a spectacular location

The accommodations were spartan (no hot water) and a bit rough around the edges. But the temperature was in the low 90's the entire week, and so.. a cold shower was in some instances not only tolerable, but necessary to avoid heat exhaustion! Lol. The location was spectacular and Vilma's full breakfasts were delicious! We enjoyed both traditional Salvadoran foods (frijoles, fried sweet plantains, huevos rancheros and fresh local fruits, papaya, mango, watermelon & cantaloupe) and what Vilma termed an "American breakfast" that included scrambled eggs, bacon, french toast with bananas and blueberries.. plus the ever-present sweet plantains!Vilma was instrumental in arranging a driver to bring us to her place and back to the airport (45 each way). And she also arranged for us to rent a small car (Kia Soul) from a local guy for two days (30 per day) that enabled us to meet up with friends in Ataco.Beto's Restaurant was conveniently only a short walk away, and we dined there three of the seven nights of our stay. Note: a 10% gratuity in included in the bill, but you are free to tip your individual server in addition. They were always very grateful.All in all, we think our stay at a "Small Hideaway on a Romantic small Private Beach with Exquisite Views" was well worth the price!

Gorgeous Secluded Getaway

These are four beautiful bungalows right on the ocean. Very peaceful and awash with sound of the ocean. We had a wonderful stay. Vilma and Yanira are wonderful hosts and went the extra mile to make out stay comfortable. The rooms are comfortable and have a much needed AC and mini fridge. Kitchen constitutes of a portable stove outside the bungalow under a shed. The property is peaceful most of the time. However it seems there are guests on a day pass (not over night) who come to hang out on the beach and that does take away from the 'private beach' vibe. All in all had a wonderful time and would recommend it. For those who surf, Sunzal is about 1.5miles away which I walked back and forth every day for about two weeks. There are a couple of nice restaurants by the property, though not cheap I have to add.

Truly a secluded paradise!

This property is breathtaking! Stunning views of the water from every step. Each bungalow felt private and secluded, almost like we had the place all to ourselves even when we had neighbors. It was so soothing to fall asleep and wake to the sound of the waves crashing. Each bungalow has its own terrace with comfy chairs and plenty of hammocks throughout the property. The sunsets were so beautiful and we were able to explore a bit and find a whole family of crabs. A fantastic place to completely unwind! The beach is semi private as there are only one or two other properties that can access it but for the majority of the stay, we had the beach to ourselves. Breakfast was amazing every morning with some of the best coffee I have ever had. Vilma and her staff went above and beyond with every detail. Helpful and funny! Even gave us recommendations for the best pupusas in El Tunco and helped us find our way to the closest supermarket. Can't wait to return to this wonderful location! Thanks to the entire team for making our new year vacation so special!

WONDERFUL HOST, BEAUTIFUL LOCATION!!

I had the pleasure of staying with Vilma for a week long holiday in one of her seaside bungalows. In truth, the photos just don't do it justice. Nestled in a little bay with sounds of the ocean waves, birds chirping, and geckos chatting ..basically a little paradise, I've never really been anywhere like it. Hammocks for reading, a nice little deck overlooking the private beach and breakfasts made by --the best cook ever, Ms.Vilma, made it all better (if that's even possible). I had the fortune of being able to hang out with Vilma a lot, she became a good friend! Super sweet, caring, warm, generous, and hilarious.. trust me, you're in good hands. Great location, with the bus stop into town (25 cents!) just a up the path. And a good restaurant three houses away. There's a great market in La Libertad, and El Tunco offers surf lessons, bars, more restaurants ( a little more casual than Beto's), and wifi. I'll definitely be back, Central American hospitality, weather, food, and natural beauty CANNOT be surpassed. Vilma and her little paradise are true gems. Thanks for everything V!! xoxo
