This is my 2nd time staying and dining at Olas Permanentes. I absolutely love this place. The staff is super kind and friendly, and they always have a willingness to help and accommodate you. (Make sure to tip the staff and treat them with kindness) If the staff treats the customer right, it only means that the owner or manager of this place takes good care of them, as they should. The food is delicious. I haven't tried their whole menu yet, but I intend to. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. My 1st stay was in the Dolphin room (shared bathroom), and my 2nd was in the Turtle room. (There's a bathroom in the turtle room) Both times, the rooms were air-conditioned and clean. I slept like a baby. The 1st time I visited, there was a warrior dog named Kira. She was the most protective and cheerful dog I have ever seen. She keeps us company while we head down to the beach and walks us back to our room. I love that they are pet-friendly. I was sad to hear Kira is no longer with us, but she will always be remembered. I took pictures with her; who knew even a dog could make such a difference in your stay? I hope to come back very soon to watch a sunset while enjoying a ceviche de camarón and sipping on a Suprema.

Great location right next to the beach. Food was pretty good with many options available. However rooms are situated right beside the restaurant so it can be very noisy with people walking by all the time. Overall, the property needs updating.

Came for the first time last year in March, fell in love with it and I’ve been back to El Salvador 5 times and each time I make sure I stay here at least 2 days. Beautiful place with wonderful staff. Shout out to Mike the waiter who always remembered me and always gives great service.

Perfect location, right on the beach. Small, which is what we like. Great food, great staff. Noisy at night, especially on weekends, so can be a little difficult to sleep. No hot water, which was a surprise, but we managed. We would stay here again.

The place is very popular, there is no complaint about that. The waiters are good, the kitchen is good. The only bad thing is the room, it has no ventilation, the air conditioning was not working. The room had a bad smell.

Needs some work

This hotel is super run down and needs some work. It looks nothing like the pictures now. The water barely trickled out and shut off in the middle of a shower, although it worked fine in the morning time. There is no hot water. There was sand in the shower from the previous tenants. The hotel is right on the beach which was lovely. The staff were helpful and friendly. The restaurant was ok but the breakfast was good. You can walk along the beach to other restaurants and watch people surf. Not worth the $125 we paid.

Adventure at the beach

It's definitely a place you go for a getaway and relax mostly spending time at the beach. I would recommend for the facility to have safe boxes in the rooms for peace. Definitely exo friendly. Rooms were cleaned after we checked out.
