Very convenient and very nice, but the mattresses are *awful*. If they upgraded those (not even significantly), it would be perfect. I’d still consider staying here again, but only for a night or two.

We arrived and were greeted with such pleasant kindness from Fabiola! The property is in a great location, and the converted cabins are literally the most awesome little houses! Literally all the amenities you would want, but in a minimalist kind of space! Can’t wait to come back again.

I stayed 4 nights at the Cabins. I’ve stayed at quite a few budget hotels in Central America so I feel like I have a good understanding of the standard. There wasn’t a cleaning service any of the days. In El Salvador you can’t flush, and so toilet paper goes in the trash can. The trash can did not have a lid. The shower floor was somewhat at a tilt so didn’t drain and stayed stagnate over several days. Towels weren’t replaced, which is necessary since lots of sand and sweating. The walls were stained. There wasn’t clear communication during my check in and apparently not someone else’s because I had someone knocking on my door and trying the code to get it at 10 PM one night. As a single solo traveler especially, that can be a little jarring. The pool was dirty, needs repairs. Does not look like it does in photos. No one swam in it or really even got in. :/

The Cabins has potential and is a great idea but unfortunately it wasn’t executed well. The drains in our room smelt really bad and there was a problem with the water. The shower was cold and the bathroom could have been cleaner. There were also ants everywhere in the room, including on the bed. However, the location was good and really close to town although can be a bit noisy at night from the road but this didn’t bother us.

Excelente hotel. Cerca de todos los restaurantes y bares. De muy fácil acceso. Y la habitación muy bonita. Me impresiono lo hermética que es, no se escucha nada del ruido de afuera, así que puedes dormir tranquilo si quieres. ¡La regadera que da a la piscina, es deliciosa!
