We were a large group (family reunion) traveling from two countries. The included breakfast was wonderful (keep in mind, portions in El Salvador are not as large as in Western countries) and if we needed more food, the prices were reasonable. The property was relaxing, clean, and peaceful. We enjoyed rotating between the two pool sections and the wonderful jacuzzi on the second floor. that overlooks the property. The staff was very attentive and happy. I highly recommend paying for your drinks...

I loved the pool. I'm a swimmer and the pool was open enough to do laps, especially in the morning and in the evening. The food is excellent. I tried several finger-licking delicious dishes, but my favorite was the fresh fish ceviche. The staff was attentive and friendly. The beach had several lifeguards watching out for surfers, but the left side of the beach is rocky and hard to navigate. There are a couple of nice restaurants at the end of the road a few steps away from The Views, and...

Great place to stay. The beach is only about a 2-5 minute walk with some stairs. Very private and surrounded by nature. We saw different wild animals in the vicinity throughout our stay. Hosts were easy to reach and maintained quick communication with us. The house has a water filter for drinking water, which made it so convenient for us. Will definitely stay here again. My whole family loved it!

I stayed 2 weeks in one of the "long stay" rooms. So you know what you're getting: - The food was excellent. - El Zonte during the off-season is a very sleepy town. - It's a 3 or 4 minute walk to get from Hotel Michanti to the beach. - The rooms were clean and very basic: No TV, no hot water, cement floors (at least in the long stay rooms). - The beds were comfortable - The staff were gracious and friendly. - You will need to cross the little river to get to the other side of El Zonte, which it...
