The cabin was good for the most part. Great location with a beautiful view. The only issue we had was a scorpion in our cabin. We had someone get pinched in the foot and fortunately for us, it was not a sting. We only saw one but were worried about the possibility of more critters hanging around.
We understand certain things are out of the property’s control but wanted to mention it as a cautionary note.
We stayed in an “A” frame cabin.

This property sits up on a mountain, so driving there was challenging to say the least. You travel up extremely steep and narrow hills. When you arrive you don’t EVER want do that drive again so you’re basically stuck there. Big window on ground level wouldn’t lock and the screen was cut all the way around, didn’t feel safe. Pool was slimy on the bottom, it could use some serious maintenance. We were the only ones there. Very secluded.
The VIEW was absolutely stunning, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It made the stay worth while. The cabin was clean, beds were comfortable. There’s a small park for kids.
Could be a romantic setting for a couple but not the best for travelling with children.
My stay in El Salvador start off HORRIBLE. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge that the property itself is beautiful, and the views were truly stunning. However, the overall experience was deeply disappointing and not in line with the expectations set by the listing on Expedia.
Upon arrival, we were assigned to a cabin that was not the one we paid for. We had booked a superior cabin, but were instead given a cheaper, less equipped one. We brought this to the attention of a staff member named Jorge, who was kind and professional throughout. Unfortunately, he had to escalate the issue to an “administrative team” who then claimed that Expedia had sent the reservation list late effectively shifting the blame rather than taking accountability. After much back and forth, we were eventually moved to the correct cabin. However, this cabin appeared to be under construction or at least not properly maintained. Major issues included:
A flooding shower
Non-functioning electrical outlets on the lower level
Poor or non-existent Wi-Fi and air conditioning (which we understand may be affected by the remote location, but should still be clearly disclosed).
While we understand that not everything can be perfect, the combination of being placed in the wrong accommodation, being given inaccurate excuses, and the maintenance issues we faced made the experience feel like a nightmare especially considering we paid for a higher-tier experience.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I’m sharing this to help improve the experience at the VIU Boutique Cabins.
The cabin was as clean as a log cabin can be, and the view was spectacular. However, several issues affected our stay. Access to the property was difficult—the road is extremely steep, and a 4x4 is practically required. The cabin had hot water, but the shower drain didn’t work properly, causing water to pool around my feet and taking several minutes to drain. The bathroom also lacked space for toiletries, and there was no shelf in the shower for shampoo or conditioner.
The upper floor, where the main bed is located, became very warm during the day, requiring the AC. At night in January, the cabin got very cold and windy. We requested extra blankets after an uncomfortable first night, but they were never delivered, and we were cold again the second night.
On our second day, I found a cockroach inside my makeup bag, which was very unpleasant. We didn’t use the kitchen, pool, or fire pit, so I can’t comment on those amenities.
The property has two gates, which initially made me feel safe. However, after returning from a concert, the guard refused to let us through and told us to take another route. The next day, after checking out, the same guard wouldn’t open the gate unless we paid him. We ended up giving him $5 just to exit.
Overall, I would give this place 2 stars. For the price, it did not meet expectations, and I would not return or recommend it.

We had a nice and relaxing time. The inside was clean, staff were very courteous, what stood out the most was the outside and surandings of the property, beautifull views.

Smells bad, the shower was flooded. There was no umbrella in the pool and it was dirty. The view was the only thing I enjoyed about this place. I won't return to this location.
VIU has a lovely concept and the person in charge was kind and responsive, which I appreciated. Still, my stay left a lot to be desired. The water heater didn’t work, the TV couldn’t be used because it didn’t have any apps installed, and there were no basic essentials like cooking oil, salt/pepper or drinking water.
There was also an issue with ants, and at one point a dog wandered into the cabin (no issue with a per friendly place I just wasn’t expecting it). I was hoping to enjoy the cabin’s terrace, but construction at the cabin beside mine made it hard to relax or feel any sense of privacy.
With more attention to detail and maintenance, this could be a really special place. For now, it feels more like a rustic Airbnb than a true boutique hotel.

No es un lugar lujoso sin embargo, es un lugar cómodo, limpio y el entorno es muy especial: vista espectacular, naturaleza, tranquilidad y tiene piscina y ambiente agradable. Por el precio es una excelente opción y experiencia. Podría repetir? Claro que si!
