Guest Reviews

• NELSON (10/5): - Clean spacious rooms, great views of the beach, nice cool swimming pools. Very nice hotel. Thank you !
• Andrej (10/5): - Hotel Estera Y Mar is 25 min from airport. Christian did transfter from and to airport. Room that we got upgraded was nice and clean. Staff is very helpfull all around the resort. Specially guys on bar/restaurant by the beach. Thank you Carlos. We loved the food, all we had was really delicious. Our favorite drink was Mojito Cubano. We had such a good time. Nothing to complain. Thank you.
• Joseph (10/5): - The room was great, staff professional. Only one restaurant on property, others far from property. The restaurant on property, food good and service very good
• Robert (10/5): - Lush, well-kept landscaping, fun labyrinths of paths decorated with whimsical statuary. Several well-kept swimming pools with fun fountains. Spacious rooms. Not overly modern but well maintained. The beach is beautiful but the nature of the surf prevents swimming in the ocean. Interesting nearby fishing boats in active use. Great breakfast, varied menu options.
• Dominic (10/5): - Upon entry, the staff was very kind and accommodating given our limited Spanish skills. The check-in was seamless and the check-out the same. The room was clean and had everything we needed, as well as extra beverages and chocolates in the fridge. The view of the beach was great and was across the street in short walking distance. The hotel at night is breathtaking, great lighting and rainforest aesthetic and the pools were also clean and well-maintained. The restaurant across the street offered free breakfast with the stay and had room service as well. I would definitely recommend coming and would stay again,
• Jose Miguel (10/5): - I like the fact that when we got there, they upgraded us to a suite with ocean view.. Everybody is extremely friendly.
• JULIO (10/5): - Friendly staff and great location
• Maria E (6/5): - It was ok , great staff, clean, food its ok
• Rildon (10/5): - The hotel has a lot of natural beauty and amazing views to the beach from the rooms. They have exotic animals on site that you can enjoy looking at while walking around the property. Many amazing places to sit and enjoy the beauty of the property. They have multiple pools where you can relax and enjoy your stay. The beach is right in front of the hotel so beach access is very easy to get to and makes it more enjoyable. They also provide a boat tour and it is enjoyable. The only thing that needs improvement is the food at the restaurant in the hotel. Breakfast is provided but could be much better. There are other close by where food is better and better price. If you want an amazing place with natural beauty this is definitely the place for you.
• Nelson (10/5): - The property feels very family-oriented and features about five refreshing pools surrounded by plenty of trees, giving it a tropical vibe. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and attentive. With the beach within walking distance and convenient showers and rinse stations to wash off sand and saltwater, the location is perfect for relaxation. I would definitely come back.
• Nora L (8/5): - I didn’t get picked up from airport,I called the hotel 8 times and no one responded,I ended paying transportation again from airport taxi service,the hotel offered transportation back to the airport and told me that they don’t know wat happened.That was the only problem,other than that all is good ,the restaurant food was great.The ocean in this area was very strong and red flag but the pools were very nice and clean.
• Jorge Alberto (10/5): - Would highly recommend
• lorena (10/5): - Environment
• Christopher W. (10/5): - Beautiful scenery and friendly attentive staff. Great menu for breakfast nd dinner with a ocean view while dinning. airport transportation with my driver Christina was comfortable and efficient he was very polite.
• felix (10/5): - Very clean,sweeming pools are great,pool tables can used some fixing...they should keep away street dogs frome dinning I don't mind,but notes some clients don't....
• Andrew (10/5): - What a find. Just the most tranquil getaway for a few days. The grounds are amazing and the ocean view rooms are amazing, the view is panoramic. Quiet nights just the waves for company. Perfect. The Restaurant does some good fare but its a bit basic. There are two or three places nearby as an alternative.
• edith (10/5): - I loved the ambiance and the atmosphere. So relaxing. Try the alcohol mixed drinks. The fried fish wasn’t fresh. A bit dry and the pool could have been cleaned more, other than that. I loved everything. I would also suggest going on the canoe ride.
• Leyda (10/5): - I love the place
• Claudia (10/5): - This is a unique property, great walkable areas and there is fauna inside.
• Lorena (10/5): Great stay! - My family and I had a really good time at this hotel! The staff was super nicer and let us check in early with a free upgrade. The restaurant at the hotel has amazing food as well. We enjoyed going down to the beach for a bit and then hopped over to the pool. There really isn’t anything to do in that area of ES so if you want a low key stay , this is the spot!
• Natanael (10/5): - I totally recommend it. Excellent staff, great facility, room comfortable. My first experience in a hotel in El Salvador 10/10.
• Marta (10/5): - excellent!! everything and everyone was excellent.
• Nathalie (10/5): - The atmosphere was breathtaking at night! Very accommodating. Very friendly staff! Even had great suggestions on other attractions near the area. Their restaurant also very friendly and delicious!
• Jose (6/5): - My experience I would say was ok. Some staff need to be more friendly
• Judas (8/5): Great place to stay - This hotel was probably the nicest of the hotels in this area. It is located way off the beaten path nestled along the famous black sand beaches. Most like about hotel Estero is the safari like setting with a few animals that can be viewed throughout the property. Another great aspect are the many relaxation spots throughout the property. We also like the many swimming pools and were allowed guest/family to visit without issues. The food at the restaurant was ok and there wasn’t many choices nearby so we had to drive quite a ways to find the good food. The only other hassle was coming back in late, and having to find someone to open the gate for parking.
• Vilma (10/5): - The forest in the property. The animals
• Deisy Angelica martinez (8/5): - Muy bonito lugar Yeni de naturaleza la playa no muy bonita pero muy relajante no ay actividades para acer eso es algo que deberían mejorar
• Maria E (10/5): - Is very family oriented
• Kevin (10/5): - I had a great weekend at this hotel and i will definitely do it again
• Miguel (8/5): - Great Staff!
• Eduardo (4/5): - As in many properties, there are things to like and to complain about. we will mentioned a couple of things noticeable for othres to consider, On this stay were a group of 8 adults and 1 child and 2 rooms. We were not given the password for wifi. It was until later we learned from dinner waiter we should have. They will give 1 password for person and only individually-inconveniently. The AC in one room was not working and it took 2 hours, in the mid afternoon heat (95 degrees F) and high humidity to fix. The tech a ill mannered and ill tempered man, was trying to blamed us customers saying someone playing with clicker will make AC Malfunction. It just saw happens it needed freon, which he ended up having to do and we were very displeased. a few other little things, but in all we give it a 2.5 stars this visit They should always cater and be nice to visitors, never blamed them for something, specially when it is not true!
• Maria (10/5): - Staff is very friendly and the hotel is clean.
• Andre (10/5): - I like that the property was more like a nature retreat with 5 pools and hotel rooms and right across the street from the beach. The hotels restaurant is right across the street and serves delicious food and drinks at the bar. The only “downside” that I hope Expedia and the property will fix is the free airport shuttle. There is no free airport shuttle but they have a private driver you can hire for $35 each way. The driver has a small sedan so anything more than 2 ppl I would suggest find alternative transportation. They have uber and you might be able to get an uber driver from airport to property but not from property to airport because it’s 30 mins away from town/airport so plan accordingly. The property has lush plants and trees all over as well as parrots and monkeys you can see! The waves are very big and rough at the beach which is black sand by the way so @swimming wouldn’t be advisable but still a beautiful site to see and you can definitely go down there and get your lower body wet without risking yourself. Aside from the shuttle issue and the way it’s listed on Expedia this property is great and I will return! Ask for room 21 if you are a couple. Great private balcony/deck overlooking the ferocious Pacific Ocean. The sound of the waves is beautiful. There’s also security on site 24/7 which is great. There is no nightlife at the property so if you are looking to go out while staying at this property it may not be for you. Check out “TravelGuruVT on YouTube for more
• bryan (10/5): - Hotel was really nice plenty to do on site. Food was delicious. Rooms were nicely kept. Staff was amazing.
• Gabriel (10/5): - The things that we liked was the staff that were more than great, really friendly. Other things was the animals that they have its fun. And the pools are in really good conditions too
• Josie (10/5): - Staff was very friendly, beautiful property, very clean! Had several swimming pools and the grounds were like a jungle. Right across the beach. Restaurant served delicious food and breakfast was included.
• Maryel (10/5): - This was so much more than we excepted. The staff was so friendly and helpful. You enter there and are transported to a nature oasis. Would stay again
• Tatiana (10/5): - Some of the swimming pools were closed.
• Melissa (10/5): - Really good service
• Miguel (8/5): - Long sandy beach not much to do in the hotel after 10 pm. Quit place lots of vegetation and areas to relax. Not very happy that the owner retain your documents at check in like your passport or DUI. Instead of a credit card. Over all love this place but I really dislike the fact that they forced you to surrender your documents like Drivers license/DUI or Passport.
• Juan (6/5): Issue???? No problem sir. - Beautiful resort, great location. I only stayed there for 1 night. There was a small issue with the bed but the staff acted fast and switched me to another room. Great customer service. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
• Salvador (8/5): - Exelent place to relax and rest. Service is a five star but I ll rated it a 10+.
• Shiela (6/5): - The room that I reserved was changed when I got there. I wasn’t notified by email or text that I might not get the one that I paid for. Upon checking out, I was asked if I grab something from the bar, I said, no. Yet, she told me to wait til she had someone personally checked it. Really?
• Elisabeth K (8/5): - The property is great but too many mosquitoes. The food needs an upgrade and more choices. Service is great and the rooms are clean and comfortable.
• Eufracia (8/5): - The property is very well maintained. The staff is very attentive and ready to assist with whatever the guests needs are !
• Oscar (10/5): - Very helpful and friendly staff.
• Sarah (10/5): - Beautiful! Loved the monkeys! We only stayed a night but it was lovely! The beach was beautiful but the waves wereTh
• Diogenes (8/5): - Poor service, high price for food and drinks.
• Christian (10/5): - Lovely place to stay
• HUGO (8/5): - Very 👍
• Brandon on (10/5): Great Beach experience - All was great. I was recommended by Unbound non profit who usually has their visitors stay here to be close to the airport. Lived up to a great experience and on the beach was nice too
• Steve (10/5): - Beautiful property! Amazing staff. Restaurant was fabulous! We loved our stay here.
• Lara (8/5): - Very unique hotel with friendly staff and great beach access.
• Armida (6/5): - Los cuartos muy espaciosos y linpios,el personal mu atento,pero la comida no es muy buena,lo peor es que no te permiten ni llevar agua porque todo te quieren vender ellos.
• Rosanne (8/5): - Love the beach. Food at the restaurant is good and reasonably priced.
• Obayed (6/5): - The property was nice. Had to wait 30 minutes for early checkout, but nice location and decent food. Would stay again.
• yaripza (10/5): - I had a very memorable vacation time in this place, love how clean the pools are, and the drinks were delicious. Thank You for the great experience.
• Thomas (10/5): - Location was great, nice staff and a lovely room with a big ocean view. This property is unique in how it rambles and flows around a rainforest-like central area with foliage, macaws, monkeys and nature sounds. Also three swimming pools in there. The restaurant is seaside and breezey with amazing sunset views.
• Johnny (8/5): - The room needs a microwave
• R (10/5): - The wait staff is awesome
• Richard (10/5): - We enjoyed the jungle-like property. The staff were helpful and we met many other happy people on their travels. Thanks for the good times.
• Thomas (10/5): - This is a very unique hotel. So fun to explore all the very colorful areas - the rainforest with three pools, monkeys and macaws. The open air restaurant was staffed by the most congenial people. Joshua in the front office went above and beyond to assist us when our rental car wouldn’t start - our Spanish isn’t that good and without him we may not have been able to communicate to Avis what our problem was. Our room was very nice, up high with amazing beach and ocean views.
• Mónica (8/5): - The hotel is beautiful and I had a great time I just wish there was hot water to shower with in the rooms.
• Willber (10/5): - Perfect place. Definitely recommend it. Wish they would provide towel for pools.
• Anna (8/5): - The beach was beautiful, nice little surf. Quite after 10pm. If you want snacks go shopping before you arrive. The store has nothing. This is a place to unwind no stores or restaurants except the hotel restaurant.
• Juana d (10/5): - Love it
• Phoebe (10/5): - This was a beautiful and unique property. Staff was wonderful and very helpful.
• Sonia (10/5): - Had a wonderful time. This was my 8th time staying here over the past few years. I keep coming back, the service and food is always 10/10
• william (8/5): - Nice cozy hotel, close to airport. Perfect for long layover, Great value for the buck. Only con was the food. Fried food options didn't appear to be the freshest. Nor did it come out sizzling hot. Other than that awesome experience and very much worth visiting again.
• Douglas (10/5): - Todo rstuvo exelente una esperencia muy bonito lo recomiendo
• Cindy (6/5): - This property was nice loveeee the ocean view love the nature on the property the birds are beautiful they keep pools clean and the plants watered. The lady that helped me reserve this was extremely helpful she went above and beyond. Check out was 4am which was mad wild and they put us outside and close the lobby, and the lady walked away. We are tourists and that was very distasteful and inconsiderate also they do not have wash rags or a microwave to heat up food if you buy elsewhere. But the people are nice for the most part and respectful
• Troy (10/5): - Property was quiirky plus amazing and very clean. They were constantly cleaning pool areas, seats, walkways, etc. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I cant imagine having a better experience with staff. Area outside of hotel is rustic, to say the least. Which we enjoyed greatly. Some restaurants are located at the end of street and along the way to hotel. Be prepared for chickens and dogs running around the restaurants (off hotel Property) but the food was amazing 👏 A great experience overall! The two "negatives" some peoppe might not like are the lack of hot water for showers (i think they only heat up water by sun in black water tanks) plus the toilets don't flush well (common in areas and countries like this.)We got use to the shower water temp and it even felt great after lots of time in the hot sun. The toilet barely flushing was always a concern but we made it work.
• Ana (8/5): - El cuarto bien bonito vista al mar, limpio, comodo, la comida bien sabrosa, la playa esta bien, el personal son atentos.
• KRISHNA (10/5): - We loved this resort. Excellent food and beautiful green space all over. I highly recommend this resort. Staff are very helpful
• Carmiddle (8/5): - Hotel Estero y Mar was a great place to stay at. The property itself is stunning. Beautiful scenery and pool areas. Love the foliage around the property and the light set up for when the sun sets. Beautiful beach area to eat, swim and watch the sunset. Perfect for families and couples. Would recommend a maximum of 2 nights though. There is nothing around to do other than lounge on their property and you have to buy their food and drinks. No turn down service during your stay either, so you need to reuse your towels and no coffee pod refills. Wish their store sold or rented boogie boards.
• Manuel (10/5): - Loved the grounds with all the plants, trees, birds and the different pools and hammocks. We had an amazing time!
• Nancy (10/5): - Todo muy excelente, no me puedo quejar de nada, desde el check in todo bien, el servicio excelente, la comida muy sabrosa y el personal muy amable ❤️
• Nancy (2/5): Not worth the money - BEWARE not close to the airport at all. Reception was closed at arrival and had to wait long to get keys to our room. Reception said no connection for Uber and their driver charged $40.00 back to the airport, we realized uber app works perfect but by the time the Uber arrived was almost 30 mins, and we had to use their service to avoid being late to the airport. Uber would have charged under $15.00 bad customer service.
• Marisol (10/5): - Beautiful hotel! Ocean view and access was great. The hotel itself was beautiful and nicely decorated.
• Corinna (10/5): - Loved it! Take the boat tour well worth it! :)
• Nora (10/5): - It was Amazing
• Ryan (10/5): - We were greets warmly and immediately given an upgraded room, probably because it was a week day. Great menu options. Everything we had was delicious. There a 4 pools. Beautiful jungle style atmosphere with monkeys and even a parrot. Overall, great stay!
• DMITRY (10/5): - Look no further if you are looking for a place to stay on the beach. This hotel is absolutely amazing, quiet and uncrowded. You are submerged into the Garden of Eden from the moment you walk in. The palms and lush greens provide comfort, privacy, and shade. There are four different pools, so if you are traveling with family and kids, you can have them occupied all day long. The place is also like a mini zoo adding to the "jungle experience": there is a little pond with an alligator and turtles, one huge pen with monkeys and three bright Macaw parrots walking around for your enjoyment. The flowers, the greens and many little and large statues, fountains all around the property show a lot of love and dedication that the owners put into this place. There are also multiple hammocks, gazebos and private spaces all around the property. At night the grounds are lit with led lights all around the walkways and hanging from the trees - a magical experience! The rear side of the property overlooks the river and mangrove forest with many herons. The hotel provides a boat tour on the river through mangroves for $10 which I found a nice addition to the whole experience. The restaurant menu is diverse and you can find everything you need for your taste including your kids. I mostly ate seafood: seviches, stews, fried fish, etc. Everything was very fresh and really tasty. Overall the service was excellent throughout, the beach is amazing, the room was perfect and A/C worked great. Enjoy!
• Javier (10/5): - The grounds are huge and beautiful. Lots of nature. I really like the pools and areas around them. Lots of little seating areas, some wit hammocks.
• Vlado (8/5): - It is more like tropical garden than hotel. Including small lake. The only missing thing was hot water and English language news channel.
• denis (10/5): - Very nice beach front property, great staff and safe, highly recommended
• Yanira Patricia (10/5): - Exellent
• Ana G (10/5): Llanta pacha - Todo estuvo bien con respecto y al servicio, pero cuando íbamos a salir nos dimos cuenta que nuestro carro tenía una llanta pacha , por que al entrar al establecimiento estaban trabajando y se descuidaron dejando clavos , y tornillos en suelo por lo cual cuando entramos la llanta trasera del conductor se le metieron dos grandes tornillos los cuales destruyeron una de mis llantas y el señor del parqueo nos avisó antes de salir del hotel, ese fue el único inconveniente que tuvimos
• Amy (10/5): - Beautiful property, we loved the general vibe and feel. There are a variety of different pools and all are surrounded by hammocks and loungers. There are so many plants and trees too in the pool areas, it feels peaceful and is nice to have some shade when you want it. We loved the turtles, birds, and monkeys. The beachside bar and restaurant is a fun place, and the beach itself is amazing. Be careful to keep track of all your towels and not forget any by the pool or they may try to charge you for them.
• Walter (10/5): - Great Staff !!
• Herbert (10/5): - It was an excellent stay.
• Gordon (10/5): - If you take on the El Salvador adventure this is a great option to stay a few days. Be very careful about following the google website directions link. Initially, they took us way in the wrong direction. However, typing the hotel name and address into Google maps took care of that problem. The property is older but seems very well maintained. The pools, lights, and greenery were very beautiful—especially in the evening. Their restaurant on the beach was also very nice.
• Rafael (10/5): - All employees very frendly
• Silvia (10/5): Awesome view! - Amazing service!
• Michel (8/5): - I love staying in this hotel. It’s my third Time .Service is really good. The staff Is number one . I stayed in the room 33. I didn’t like it to much .I would liked to move to a better room but they couldn’t help me
• Rafael (10/5): - Decor/facility
• James (10/5): - Very clean, good food, outstanding customer service. Next to the beach. Fishermen like to interact. A definite YES.
• Carlos (10/5): - Hearing the waves of the ocean while going to sleep
• Stephanie (10/5): - Property was more than what I expected. I loved my stay; everyone was so friendly and hospitable and the scenery is to die for.
• Jimmy (10/5): - Nice hotel
