This property has potential to be beautiful, which makes this disappointing to write. The room was not clean and had multiple maintenance issues: dirty bed linens, worn furniture, bathroom drainage, flushing problems, and missing many basic amenities.The most concerning was the bed. We reported how unstable it was, the owner instructed front staff to warn us that we would be charged for the damage. When the bed was later pulled apart, it was obvious it had been broken and repaired in the past, clearly a known pre-existing issue. Being threatened with charges for something the owner was already aware of is not acceptable. There were safety and maintenance concerns throughout the property, including loose pool tiles and uneven concrete. My partner injured his foot in the pool. Access to the resort is also a serious issue, Uber drivers were unwilling to come down the road because it is in such poor condition and can damage vehicles. Basic maintenance, even just adding gravel, would make a big difference.There was also a visible junk pile inside the resort which was unpleasant to see. Keeping the property basically tidy is bare minimum. Breakfast was good and pool service was excellent. Unfortunately, the overall cleanliness, maintenance, and safety concerns outweighed the positives. This place could be ok with proper upkeep and transparency, but in its current state, I wouldn’t recommend at all.

Only one way to lock the doors. Door knob was loose with no safety latch on top of door.. Did not feel safe for two single women. Roaches and ants in the room. Air conditioner in room drains inside of bathroom. Next morning we left without eating breakfast, Very disappointed. Bedroom did not look like the pictures.

Everything was great, the view was amazing, the food was delicious and the service was great. The only thing the hotel needs to do is fix the road towards the entrance.

I entered the room and the pillows smelled, the shower and toilet looked dirty. I had to leave and I’m not sure if I will get a refund. I’d not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The place has potential but the out door seating were not clean. The room was horrible. When we checked into our room, the sheets appeared clean but the weren’t. We found clipping of nails in one bed and another a scrunchy and hair. The towels had a weird stench as if they were already used. The floors in the room were unclean. It seems like the room was not touched in weeks to be honest. The main entrance to the hotel was not good, all of our drivers had difficulty driving in and out. Not the best place at all.

Had an amazing time in El Salvador! 🌴 We stayed at The Reef on the Water and the staff was wonderful — very attentive and quick with food and drinks. The only downside is that you can’t bring any outside food or drinks to your room, and since the bar closes at 9pm it can be a little inconvenient. Other than that, everything was perfect and I’d definitely go back!
