Guest Reviews
- Jessica (10/5): - Unkept grounds, beautiful but need more maintenance. No easy access to the beach , you could see the water and beach / surfers but very rocky and unstable to get to. The room was nice but almost no water pressure. The place is beautiful and staff great but it is a local weekend pay a daily fee for all day pool access and if you don’t save your seats at pool you wouldn’t have any. But most place here are like this. I get it, it helps them sustain the place but can be frustrating for people paying to stay the night. The wooden walkways are beautiful to walk around in the morning to watch the sunrise. We did enjoy our time together but we also make the best of our time anywhere especially on vacation :) staff was great and let us have a late check out before we had to head to the airport.
- Madisyn (2/5): - Water would go out, power would go out
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The food and the service are impeccable. The concept is very exciting and unique. We didn’t sleep at all because of the mosquitoes. I would stay again simply because of their excellent service and delicious food.
- Carolina (8/5): - No beach access
- Graciela (10/5): - The way they customize all the natural in vitamin is amazing and fantastic to a planet it's a good place to stay thank you
- Graciela (10/5): - We love everything service staring with the guys who open the door to the people when we arrive from de beginning also we love the whole environment overall.
- Jamaal (10/5): - The restaurant breakfast was good absolutely loved the rooms and the scenery outside shower was amazing overall a good stay
- Nestor (2/5): - A rundown environment that is not pleasing to be in. Pay a lot of money to wanna be enjoy your stay. In my case and others that got there and felt the same way had to leave and I’ll be there.
- Maybell (8/5): - My husband and I stayed at Mandala Eco Villas for 2 nights. When heading in it was obvious that it was an isolated area. Unfortunateley we didnt rent a car so we had to rely on ubers. Ubers had long waiting times and weren't always available especially later in the evening. So I would suggest staying here only if you have a car. Benefit of being isloated is the amazing view you get of the Sol Blas beach. It is very peaceful. We enjoyed being in the pool and watching the sunset. The room was also nice. We did have some water access issues being an eco villa and water conservation site, but they were resolved. The restuarant on site had good food, but last order is at 7. Staff and security were very friendly.
- Maritza (8/5): - The place was pretty but There was nobody there but us It the door of the bathroom true outside did lock So my husband couldn’t sleep And also the restaurant was close when we got there and in the morning They need more workers other then that the place is gorgeous
- Carmen (10/5): - Different - they have hot water, service was amazing, great pool, people can help you with luggage very small. Don’t like: as part of hut is outside some small bugs come in, no extra pillows or blankets they are just throws, NO ACCESS TO BEACH!! but place was ok
- Dina (10/5): - First time in this style of accommodations (hut style) and loved it. Not crowded, as i stayed during xmas. Staff could have been quicker on the service but overall a very pleasant stay. Would recommend and return.
- Carolina (10/5): - No access to the beach Dirt road to property No WiFi
- Jamie (10/5): beautiful oasis - i had a wonderful stay. I spent my last day of my one week stay here. I was in San Salvador for 4 nights. If you want peace, tranquility and don’t mind nature (a frog made its way into my bathroom) this is the place for you. there is a restaurant food was good but pricey you are better off going 10 minutes down the road to El Tunco. i felt safe, there is 24 hr security and since i was checking out before I could enjoy the included breakfast the staff offered to prepare fruit for us to take to go. My only complaint is the beach was so rocky.
- Rosalin Khadisha (10/5): - This property is great for alone time with yourself or significant other. The bungalows are simple, clean and efficient. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again without question.
- Patricia (10/5): - The staff was amazing. Location is beautiful. Peaceful and quite. Food was amazing.
- Ada (2/5): - Room, bathroom, sheets and pool very dirty no maintenance to the place a big lie of the pictures to what the place looks to this date way over price its a ripoff I will never recomend this place hope I can share pictures dont fake advertisi ., we came here to have an amazing time did not go to the pool till to day later because of how dirty it was. The smell of the room is terrible. We are so disappointed. There was a big hair inside the breakfast tortilla were is the management in this hotel and consideration to the guesst that come from far away to spend a good time in this fake place, yes ecological but the smell of the bathroom kills the vive what about the water there is non in thos room it took me 30 min. To clean my self because of no water and eather hot 😡 this for me was a ripoff.
- Ada (2/5): - Im very di
- diana (2/5): - The minute we walked into the villa, the smell was horrible, everything is so old, does need an upgrade. The walls are dirty, the blankets were not change since it was a lot of hair , from previous guests. The shower was liking all the time, holes on the net of the bed , holes on all the net of the villa. The view of the beach is HORRIBLE, it was so limited , your view are just rocks, no way to walk to the beach. Really disappointed and will not recommend the staying at this property . The only good things this property provides is just staff are nice and the palm trees and plants surrounding. Thanks God it was just my first visit to this property and will be my last one. For the money is not worth it. Diana C Los Angeles, CA
- Kristell (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay
- Marjorie (10/5): - I loved my stay here! They were so attentive and accommodating to our needs. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to Anjou the nature.
- Nicole (10/5): - Beautiful and unique property. The staff was very helpful and accommodating!
- Gabriel (10/5): - An amazing place to relax and enjoy the beach view I enjoy every minute there !😎😎
- Carlyle (2/5): - This property needs an update. The concept is cool but not what I expected. My biggest issue was the noise outside and the water not working.
- Byron (10/5): - Mandala Eco Villas is a paradise to travelers that appreciate the beauty of nature. Off the coast the pool overlooks the waves of the Ocean and is a beautiful sight. The restaurant food options are tasty. The service of the staff is first class. My wife and I stayed in the family room fir 3 nights and the Eco Villa for 1 night and we both were happy with our stay and experience. The hotel is close proximity to El Tunco and many must try restaurants like Betos. Enjoy your stay at Mandala
- lilian (8/5): - The foot was not good
- Yuriy (4/5): - no beach, the room was right by the road and instead of being an eco-resort I had to listen to traffic on the road all night long. no facilities, events, yoga, nothing. everything closes down at 9. couldn't even get tea. very disappointing experience.
- Alexander (10/5): - Im on the most peaceful family friendly and clean places i have stayed in, with the best friendly, friends staffing the place
- Jonathan (8/5): - The check in process was smoothly, everything was great except for the amenities, It would be perfect if it could be a workspace or a table to do some stuff.
- Roxana (10/5): - I did a mom and daughter trip to El Salvador and I had an amazing experience! I needed a ride to go to other places and the staff took the time to get me taxis. The place also offers day passes so my family was also able to visit me and spend the day with me and my daughter and was able to experience this unique experience. I cannt wait to visit again !!!
- Robert (4/5): Inconveniente stay - While staying at this facility, water went off and we did not have water to shower after taking a stroll in town, we were sweaty and needed to shower before going to bed and couldn’t. Management had mentioned that they were doing some repairs but failed to advise us of the water shot off. We filed a complaint and ware compensated of the inconvenience.
- Sabrina (10/5): - Me and my husband decided to book here for our honeymoon. We wanted to be away from the Hussle and brussel and just wanted a quiet place to stay and relax. We loved that it was surrounded by lush greans and that the beach were steps away. From the time we stepped into the property the staff were amazing! They will go above and beyond for their guest. They treated us amazingly. You can feel the genuine care coming from the staff for their guest. Maria was amazing ♥️ she was there for us no matter the need and was just the sweetest ever!. The property gives off a Bali kinda feel and we loved it! The property stayed clean staff would get up and clean the property everyday! The food was amazing! The drinks were amazing. I will say that it is kinda hard to find (especially at night) you can easily miss the signs and GPS will take you else where, the road to get there is rough and raw but I promise it's all worth it when u arrive. They have 24hr security and we felt as safe as can be! Don't hesitate book! Book! Book!
- Carlos (10/5): - Very good service and attention as well. I would definitely come back.
- Alyssa (10/5): - Loved my stay! 10/10 recommend! The food is overpriced but very good! Staff is very helpful and we felt very safe!
- Roxana (10/5): - Our towels were dirty. Loved the private shower outside your hut. Really nice place. Getting there is a little scary but overall great experience.
- Yvonne (8/5): - The place was really so beautiful
- Marsha (4/5): - The net around the bed needs to be replaced. My net had multiple holes causing me to get bitten all night from mosquitoes
- Robert (10/5): - We stayed in El Salvador for 2 weeks in Zona Rosa and while it was nice…Mandala was the highlight of our trip. My only regret was not staying there longer. We decided to go there on a whim and it was well worth it. Staff will literally do everything for you. Food is top notch. PLEASE READ: they have a Dr that will show up there and give you a Covid test for entry back to where ever you’re going and email the results to the staff and they will print it out for the airline for re-entry
- ROMEO (10/5): - Good place!
- Nora (4/5): Not that clean place - To expensive for the room and lots of insects, and not that clean, no soap, no water in the room,the bed sheets seem dirty and the water outside. The staff super nice
- vilma (10/5): - Privacy and stuff
- Gissel (10/5): - Looks like paradise, felt like a dream I can’t wait to come back and visit!! My family and friends and I were able to relax and enjoy the hotel the food was delicious. Pool is really nice and clean! Right by the beach
- Chris (10/5): - Very nice rooms
- Jose (10/5): - Amazing staff, everybody was super kind and friendly. I went with my wife to escape reality a little bit, we had to leave early but it was definitely a great experience. Food at the restaurant was incredible
- irene (6/5): - My room fan was cover in dust... the table lamp was with spiderweb i was without power all night and the restaurant close at 7
- Kelley (10/5): - Gorgeous safe grounds, staff was great, beautiful views, food was delicious.
- Armando (6/5): - Great place, quiet and relaxing. They should mention that the beach/sea is not accesible because it’s full of rocks, there’s not one bit of sea shore so that was a downfall and should be mentioned in case you’re looking to go in the sea, other than that everything else was good.
- Manuel Romeo (6/5): - I liked the resort. It had a major flaw. There was no access to the beach. This could easily be solved by making a path through the rocks to the available beautiful beach. Also, why a 12 noon checkout. What if I wanted to eat lunch before leaving. The checkout time interferes with lunch.
- Hazel (10/5): Great time at Mandala! - Loved our stay at Mandalas Ecovillas, from the moment we walked in to check out everyone was super attentive. We were greeted and showed to our room by Maria Jose who was amazing and explained everything we needed to know for our stay! - Pool is open 24/7 - Restaurant closes at 6pm but they provide contact info for other restaurants that deliver to the resort - Beach access closes at sunset The rooms were as described and loved the fact that the showers are outdoors. We had a family villa which had a king size bed and a bunk bed, as well as, two bathrooms. Food is delicious 😋 Internet connection is good, I had to attend a few virtual meetings during my stay and it was very reliable. The only negative things are the road getting there, it’s not paved after you leave the highway and also the beach is very rocky, you have to walk a bit to to either side of the resort in order to find a sandy spot to enjoy the ocean. Overall I recommend staying here, you will have a great time! 😉
- JOSHUA (10/5): Great spot for a getaway and a surf - Place is amazing, great staff, and great surf spot right in front.
- Jose (8/5): - Access to hotel not nice
- Edwin (10/5): Amazing - Amazing !!!!!! Love the view the villas and the attention was amazing deff recommended.
- Safiya Wiltshire (10/5): - I loved everything.
- Imelda K (2/5): Village full of mosquitoes - My village was full of dust, spiders and lots of mosquitoes I got bitten by many insects there within minutes of walking in the village I will not be coming back here.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I felt so peaceful there ! Everything perfect! Good so good!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice stay, day passers compete for amenities though …
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved the natural setting and friendly accommodating staff.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Not happy with Expedia because did not have the opportunity to cancel the reservation so we did not staid in the hotel we missed the opportunity to enjoy that place
- Verified traveler (2/5): - This place is not for people it not what you see in the wed
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Is not safe please be kind and advise to other travelers,beach is not suitable for swim.I recomend expedia take this property from your database. I didn't spend the night there.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing!!! Such a beautiful and peaceful place. And an add bonus that property is environmental friendly. Staff is great, beds comfortable, very clean and facilities and pool have a five star hotel feel. If you love nature and love appreciating it and preserving it by supporting green businesses this is a place for you!! Amazing place right on the beach. Definitely returning
- Candace (10/5): - So worth it...just GO!!!! Go...GO!! Had the best time and loved the huts
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The "cabin" that we stayed in wasn't clean. We heard gunshots at 3 am.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Thank u, next - I understand they're "eco" but I feel like I could've paid the same amount for something better with A/C, WiFi and TV. The weather is hot. Overall I enjoyed because of the views and food. They're amazing.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and the people are friendly location is a bit dificult to Find.
- PedroAviles (4/5): - I was not able to find the property last night after looking for the place for more than 40 minutes in a ca. After calling several times with no success I gave up and had to book a different hotel. There were no visible signs pointing to the propoerty and the GPS could not provide durections. Since it was late at night and the country is suffering from high levels of insecurity the cabdriver refused to continue looking. Please advice property to put up visible signs and to have directions on its website.
- Jose (6/5): - Great place, but no a/c, WiFi, and TV. Nice place for surfers.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This hotel is very nice, an eco-friendly experience.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Everything was good If you like nature is the perfect place to enjoy but is better to go with your partner is very romantic place but to be honest I didn’t feel safe there is too dark at night
- Verified traveler (10/5): Prime Surfing Hotel Right on the Beach! - These villas are beautiful! They are so clean and well cared for. The hotel staff are very pleasant and professional. I definitely recommend this hotel!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It's a beautiful place. The pool is really nice. The rooms are pretty plain though. Although the are cool looking huts, no tv, no fridge,no food or drinks allowed, and the restroom/shower is outside.
- Beth (8/5): Nice hotel on the beach - We stayed in the larger hut, with a private room and bunk beds on the second floor. It was really nice and so close to the beach you could hear the waves all night. The food was a bit pricey (pretty good though) and the pool area was very packed. The shuttle service was also very pricey. It’s a nice stay for a night or two to get away from the world but definitely not somewhere I’d stay for long.
- Caroline (8/5): - Mandala was a pretty nice place to stay. When we first arrived the pool was not very clean, but it was cleaned the next day and was much nicer. The restaurant was often out of food items and there weren't really other places close by that were easy to get to to eat. We were only there for two days, so it wasn't a big deal, but would have been inconvenient for a longer stay. We left very early in the morning and the staff was nice enough to make us a to-go breakfast of fruit which was greatly appreciated.
- Matt (2/5): - Hotel was is picturesque of course, but no ac, ceiling fan is useless, I was so hot I couldn’t sleep a bit. Got destroyed by mosquitoes all night. Restaurant closes too early, got not dinner. No WiFi. No beach access. No bottled water in room. Not coming back, I would not recommend
- Verified traveler (6/5): Dirty sheets! - The sheets were dirty with blood spots!! They close the restaurant at 7 pm so if you want something like water you can't have it and there are no stores close to the place. There isn't an air conditioner and is really necesary.
