Excelente hospedagem.
Pros:

Eu fiquei hospedado em um dos quartos que tem vista para o mar. É incrível, com vista também a um belo por do sol. O quanto é bem ventilado mas, ainda assim, climatizado. Entretanto, vale a pena tirar um cochilo na rede da sacada, com o barulho das ondas de fundo.

Great for long term stays
Pros:

I absolutely loved this place. It has the perfect location between La Bocana and Sunzal if you're there for surfing. The staff is friendly, the rooms are spacious and the breakfast has several options, of which all are good. I especially liked the vibes though, many other guests stay long-term, so you can easily get in contact (especially surfers). They also have the best rooftop in town. The value for the price was superb!

Cons:

Inte värt det - alldeles för dyrt för vad man får.
Pros:

Läget, tillgången till AC. Poolområdet var stort. Skön säng.

Cons:

Alldeles för dyrt för det man får. Finns gott om boenden som erbjuder liknande boendestandarder för billigare. Luktade unket i rummet hela tiden från avloppet, och poolen var dåligt städad.

Best location, price and comfort for your money.
Pros:

Location location location. It is a nice hotel that I have been staying for the past 6 years. Grounds are Beautiful and the rooftop for Sunset is just amazing.
Love it!

Cons:

Beds could be a little more comfortable, but I am bit bias, since do like soft or super soft beds.

Pros:

Great view from my room! Staff was nice.

Didn’t come on a weekend so it was quiet!

Cons:

Needs some lighting at night when walking back to my room as my room was in the far side.

Overall needs a bit of an update. Brown and red sheets are an odd choice.

I asked for another pillow bc theirs are soooo thick my neck was 2ft off the bed.

Overall all was good tho and I would stay again!

This will be my forever go to place when staying in el tunco
Pros:

The property is right along the beach in the middle of the main area in el tunco. The ocean view patio is perfect for watching surfers at both La Bocana and el sunzal point as well as sunsets. They have about 4 or 5 ocean view rooms and well as rooms with partial ocean view to garden view courtyard rooms. The ocean view rooms are above La guitarra bar which is the place to be if you like happening crowds and pumping music; especially Saturday nights. If you have one of the Ocean view rooms, you may not be sleeping until a bit later til about 1 am on weekends. It didn’t bother me because I expected it, and felt the room is great value regardless of the weekend music. The music ended about 10pm on weeknights when they were open. The pool area, while not opulent, is very chill and does the job. Breakfast was great. I paid for it to be included. I usually had a plain egg omelette, bacon, and sliced avocados with a glass of fresh OJ and cup of El Salvadoran coffee. (Free refill on the coffee) I had cinnamon french toast with sliced bananas and strawberries another day, fried eggs, the rice/beans mix, a slice of local cheese and toast. Options were good. Overall, La guitarra provides great value and a great location.

Cons:

No complaints because you totally get what you pay for. If I had to name something; probably the beds. But they were fine.
