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!

The pool directly next to water is so amazing. Beautiful views! We loved ordering food & drinks to our room and eating with the view of the ocean. Food and drinks were decent. The room quality was very low, showers always cold, broken toilet seat.
