Casa Punta Elephante - Hacienda Style Villa SurfCity - Villas for Rent in La Libertad, La Libertad, El Salvador

Words are not enough to describe how beautiful the house is. We were a very large group and this house was perfect for the number of rooms that we needed. From the moment we arrived and met Herbert we were amazed on how attentive the staff was. I am greatful to have the opportunity to stay at this beautiful hacienda style home.   Daniel and the house staff were very helpful with anything we asked for. The rooms are spacious and very well maintained. The property is beautiful and meticulously clean.  The suite with the pool outside the bedroom is breathtaking and a dream come true. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this location. Thank you Herbert for allowing us to experience a little bit of heaven.

Our stay at Casa Punta Elephante was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Herbert and his incredible team welcomed us with genuine hospitality, helped unload our cars, and made us feel right at home. Hearing the beautiful love story behind the home made the experience even more meaningful. The property was immaculate every day, with breathtaking ocean views, multiple pools, and amazing tide pools our kids loved exploring. Herbert also arranged incredible massages overlooking the ocean and helped coordinate grocery shopping and delicious home cooked meals, making our stay both relaxing and affordable. After traveling all over the world, this is without question the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had. Calling it an Airbnb doesn’t do it justice. Casa Punta Elephante is a world class experience. Thank you, Herbert, your family, and your wonderful team for memories we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful home. Herbert was incredibly helpful to us as we organized activities around El Salvador.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Punta Elephante. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly, and the house itself was beautiful and easy to access. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We didn't even feel the need to leave the property because the house had everything we needed. Thank you for a great experience.

Herbert, Punta Elefante and his staff are an amazing crew.  I will book here yearly from now on. The place was able to sleep 16 of comfortably!!! Love this place and the people.  Highly recommend it people from all over the world.

Herbert was an amazing host. He was quick to communicate. The staff on site were amazing as well. So kind and always helpful. They cooked us breakfast for two mornings, and it was amazing. The house is exactly as appears in images. It’s an amazing spot. We were able to relax at the house many days. Could not recommend this place enough. Definitely will be back!

Incredible stay at Herbert’s Villa! Communication and planning before and during the trip couldn’t have been better. The location is stunning and walkable to El Tunco. incredibly friendly and respectful staff. Would absolutely recommend staying here!!

Hands down, this was the best airbnb experience I've ever had in my life! I hosted my first yoga retreat at Punta Elephante and it was an absolute dream. Herbert went above and beyond to help us plan an itinerary, hooked us up with local contacts and was patient with our relentless questions. The location is priceless (you can walk to town or get a $4 uber) and absolutely breathtaking. The staff on site were attentive, friendly and incredibly welcoming.  We loved the villa so much that two of us actually got tattoos of an arch with a hammock - the tattoo artist came to the villa! We plan to return in January and then hopefully annually for the rest of our lives! :D

OMG!!! You guys are so kind. Thank you for those words. We really appreciate that you loved our home but especially our country El Salvador :)

Spectacular location and lovely pools. Very kind team and staff!

Nice house and amazing suite, unfortunately some lines were stained

Hi Ivonne, We are genuinely disappointed by your review, as it does not reflect the reality of your stay or our standards. During your previous stay with us last year (in one of our other Airbnbs called Brisas del mar ) , despite a power outage completely outside of our control, we still issued you a full refund to ensure your comfort because you were being very unfriendly about the situation. Based on that experience, we went above and beyond in good faith. For your recent stay, your claim regarding “stained linens” is simply not accurate. We maintain strict cleaning protocols, and any linens that do not meet our standards are immediately removed and replaced. Cleanliness is one of our top priorities, and we stand firmly behind the quality of our property. Given this, we find your review to be unfair and inconsistent with both your experience and our proven track record. This is our first 4-star review, and it does not align with the level of service we consistently provide. You are no longer welcome to our Airbnb's in El Salvador.

This place is incredible.  Do not hesitate to book.  Will accommodate a large group.  Mercedes and Daniel took care of us.  Mercedes is an amazing cook.  We especially loved her pupusas.  Tip them well they deserve it.  Herbert was a great host.  He booked excursions and transportation for us.  We absolutely loved this place and can’t wait to come back.  Also- Daniel took our laundry to get cleaned several times which was a great perk!

Absolutely love Herbert’s place! This is our third or fourth time staying at his place and it’s always a great experience. His entire staff who take care of the property are very friendly and helpful. I will look forward to staying here again in the future!

Here’s your updated review with the views included: ⸻ We had an incredible stay at this home in Olivedale, El Salvador. The house was spacious and had more than enough room for every member of my family. It was spotless upon arrival and immediately felt welcoming. The views were absolutely breathtaking. We had ocean views from every area of the home, and the sunsets each night were unforgettable. It truly felt like paradise. The host went above and beyond to make us feel like his home was our home. The staff was exceptional — amazing cooks, great communication, and always attentive. They made everything simple and stress-free. The additional services were top-notch. My family especially loved the coffee experience, massages, and daily breakfast. Every detail was thoughtfully handled. I would 100% return. I can’t say enough great things and am already recommending this place to friends.

The most beautiful accommodation I've ever been to in my life, no complaints just excellent!

Le plus beau logement que j'ai été de ma vie, rien à dire juste excellent!

The other reviews are right, the listing doesn’t do this place justice! We went for ten days with 8 adults and kids and had the BEST time. We barely left and when we did we wanted to be back at the house. The grounds are green and beautifully maintained, the food that Mercedes made was delicious, and Herbert was so helpful in setting us up with airport transfer, rental cars, grocery runs, and local food recommendations. The rooms were comfortable and everything was so clean! No ants or flies and felt very safe. The pools were beautiful and clean, and we spent most of the day swimming or hanging out there. The temperature always felt perfect with the breeze coming up off the top of the cliff, and we loved having drinks and watching the sunset. We will 100% be back and maybe make it a yearly trip. Can honestly not say enough, we loved it all!!

Awww ☺️ thank you so much Mary. You’re so kind. You guys are welcome back anytime you want.

Amazing stay at Herbert’s place. The house is magnificent and has a cliff access to the beach with natural pools within it. Herbert’s continuous support was also noticeable for laundry, ordering food, being transported around etc. recommended!

We brought a group of friends and family to Punte Elephante for a birthday celebration. We wanted a place on the Ocean and away from the city. The communication and responsiveness from Herbert from start to finish were an A+. Herbert arranged  transportation from the airport, excursions and recommended tours and restaurants. When we arrived at Punte Elephante, we were energetically greeted by Herbert and his staff and after introductions were given a tour of the expansive property. The grounds were well kept and the rooms clean and ready. It was like a small resort all to ourselves with everything we needed including a responsive staff, access to the beach, amazing views of the ocean, sunrises and sunsets. Our stay was excellent  and I have to highlight the service, service, service! Everything we asked for was provided as soon as possible, if not immediately by Daniel, our concierge and the rest of the staff. We are very pleased with our stay at Punte Elephante! Well done !

What an absolutely amazing vacation for my extended family over the Christmas holidays. We were a group of 11 people ranging from ages 3 - 80 and was the perfect spot. The property is stunning on the cliffs with sunset views and opportunity to swim and cave explore when tide out. Nearby restaurants and groceries stores. Herbert and his team are amazing and went above and beyond. Have stayed in a lot of AirBnBs throughout Central America and this is best. Highly recommend.

You guys, thanks so much for that review. We sure hope you come again. We have 15 other properties that vary in size, so next time please write me so I can send you the links :)

Amazing service and for sure will come back

Amazing spot! Will definitely come back. Amazing views. Staff was really friendly and honest. Loved the privacy, specially the gate keeper.

A fabulous place!!!!! Recommended 100%!!!!!!

Un lugar fabuloso!!!!! Recomendable100%!!!!!!

Everything was amazing. Good AC and shower. Pools were incredible and access to the beach was insane

This is my second time in this amazing house. I will go back as much as i can. Love this house and the beautiful view  Herbert is great.

Our stay was absolutely incredible! The house is gorgeous, cozy, and perfectly designed to make you feel relaxed the moment you arrive. The stunning private ocean views were truly breathtaking! waking up to that scenery was unforgettable. The location is AMAZING, just a quick 10-minute walk to El Tunco Beach, plus plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Herbert was extremely accommodating, and the staff went above and beyond. They were attentive, helped with store errands, and even washed dishes, which was the cherry on top of an already relaxing stay. We also enjoyed the on-site amenities; several members of our group got massages, and we tried the private chef. The food was good, though for the price we hoped for a bit more. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations in every way. I only hope to come back again soon!

Our host was extremely helpful. The onsite assistants were also very attentive and flexible with our special requests: grocery shopping, meals, laundry. The property itself is special and comfortable.

Booked at punta elefante for my family of 16 for a two nights stay. And had to add 4 more with additional fees. I booked for my family for a destination wedding. The place was beautiful, spacious, and clean! My family didn’t feel crowded there was plenty of room for them to enjoy the amenities of the house. The kitchen was fully equipped since my family was able to cool all their meals at the property. The bends were comfortable and the views were breathtaking! My family included seniors and enjoyed the fact that this place didn’t have a lot of stairs or steps. Senior friendly bnb. The hosts were super friendly, attentive, and adaptive to our needs. They knew I wa stressed out before our wedding so they accommodated the extra people and told me I could pay the fees afterwards. That gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend this stay for a wonderful time with family or friends!

Very beautiful home! Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean environment and all accommodations were met. The place was just like the pictures. Salt water pools were our favorite. Thank you again and we will be back

I got to say this place by far one of the most amazing Airbnb’s I ever stayed at. The amenities, the views, the space and the service. The young lady and her husband were always ready to help out and her cooking..delicious. Also Daniel was freaking awesome that’s all I can say. You need to experience it yourself. Thank you Punta Elephante for allowing me to celebrate my bday here !

muchisimas gracias Alejandro les esperamos deregreso cuando gusten

We have stayed in La Libertad previously, but staying at Punta Elephante elevated the entire experience and location. It was a gorgeous tropical retreat with an incredible open layout. There is so much for everyone in the family or friends to enjoy. From the 5 pools, the oceans waves always in the background and the incredible staff who helps with all of your needs and answered any questions. Herbert treated us life family and is always available for any questions or local advice.  The house has 3 staff members who are constantly around to assist in the day to day. Thank you to Mercedes, Alboro and Daniel for going to the extra mile each day for us.  We cooked everyday and constantly utilized the kitchen and outdoor spaces. We only left to go the super market and back, or else we cooked, played and made memories and I would highly recommend the same for anyone thinking of staying. Thank you again for everything and we hope you will have us back in the future! Gracias por todo!

The place is spectacular!!! The attention of the owner and his team, incredible!!! We want to come back!!!!

El lugar es espectacular!!! La atención del dueño y su equipo, increíble!!! Queremos volver!!!!

I highly recommend Punta Elephante! Herbert and staff were welcoming and responsive and I felt at home while staying here. The location is beautiful and I can't wait to go back.

Way more beautiful in real life than in pics. 10 stars best Airbnb experience ever

Punta Elephante was nothing but exceptional! Pictures and videos don’t do it justice. Truly a place you have to experience first hand! Herbert and staff were very accommodating and responsive! Can’t wait to go back!

Our stay at Punta Elephante was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed - they were friendly, professional, and always ready to help, whether it was ordering from nearby restaurants to arranging local laundry services for us. The house was spotless, spacious, and beautifully maintained. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible variety of pools. The ocean water pool was a personal favorite, offering stunning views and a refreshing swim. Every detail of our stay was perfect. Highly recommend Punta Elephante for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

Herbert’s place was perfect for our group! Daniel and the staff were very helpful and friendly and provided us with great service. Beautiful place! Excellent service! Definitely will be back!! Thank you!

Our stay at this Airbnb in El Salvador was nothing short of magical. The property is visually stunning — from the architecture to the decor, every corner was picture-perfect. But the real showstopper? The views. Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee or watching the sunset, the scenery was simply unforgettable. What made the experience even more special was our host, Herbert. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and treated us like family from the moment we arrived. His warmth and hospitality added such a personal touch to our stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with jaw-dropping views and a host who truly cares, look no further. We’re already dreaming about our next visit!

Pefect in every way! Our group of 6 adults & 5 kids had the most enjoyable week at Punta Elephante. The property is spectacular with a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of space to stretch out as a big group, well appointed bedrooms each with their own bathroom and outstanding views from everywhere. We spent time in all of the pools and the highlight was the salt water tide pools which we got in almost every day, so fun & unique. Herbert was so helpful in planning excursions and a special papusa making class for our whole group. Daniel, Mercedes & Alvaro take care of the house and anything you need you while you are there. They are always available but never intrusive. El Salvador & Punta Elephante are special places and we cannot wait to return. Thank you for a very memorable trip!

Can't say enough! Beautiful home. Staff was attending to our needs for everything. Our family of 14 loved this place. They can't wait to return and will be booking this location again. Home was clean, lots of room for family. Herbert is a great host and offers many services including Massages at the Airbnb. Thank you punta elephante!

It was just the perfect home. My family and I had the best time and can’t wait to return to La punta de elefante again in the future. I absolutely loved everything about it especially all the people that worked there. They were amazing. They felt like family, and they go above and beyond to meet your needs. Thank you for everything that everyone did for our family, we had a taco night experience that was absolutely amazing. Thank you. Thank you so much, we look forward to going back again for another visit.

Herbert and his staff were very supportive and gracious. It was my first time in El Salvador and Herbert and his staff had great recommendations and helped to plan our day, providing helpful tips and advice. They also helped with transportation to the airport, nearby downtown area, and local restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again and one day hope to return with my family to show them just how wonderful of a country El Salvador is. I'll always remember my visit fondly.

We had a wonderful family stay at this beautiful home. The house was spotless, well-maintained, and located in a great area close to everything we needed. The host was fantastic: always available, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay!

Punta Elephante was amazing!! The views and the crashing waves were pretty of our daily activities.  it was so hard to leave unless, to surf. We even decided to eat in every breakfast and dinner!  Herbert and the staff are super friendly, helpful and even watched out for us. All the adults and kids in our party will have Punta Elephante in our minds every time we think of a surf trip

Location is beautiful . Great place to go anywhere so many things to do around the house . I got a massage on the balcony by the ocean and that was a dream.! The main thing was the service . Omg I never had such great service . Daniel the house keeper was amazing. He would make drinks clean make our coffee coordinate laundry pick up or order for food . He was on point on everything and honestly he’s the main reason why I would go back. This was a true vacation best !

Herbert and his entire team were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay seamless! They helped us with transportation, arranged private chefs and tours, and shared excellent local recommendations. His staff included Daniel, Alvaro, Hugo, and Mercedes, who were all warm, attentive, and truly made us feel welcome. The property has four bedrooms with flexible setups, including singles, doubles, and one room with five beds, which makes it perfect for larger groups. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are all outdoors in an open space concept. Just keep in mind the possibility of weather changes, falling leaves, bugs, and the occasional cat that might stroll by. The house was beautiful with a relaxed and thoughtful design. Every detail felt intentional, and the entire space had a peaceful and inviting energy. We felt completely at home and would recommend Herbert and his team, as they made our stay in El Salvador that much memorable!

Herbert was excellent. By far, one of my best Airbnb experiences yet. Him and his team go above and beyond to accommodate your needs and make you feel right at home.

Incredible! I came for a bachelorette trip with my bridal party and we were all blown away. Gorgeous views, clean, responsive staff and amenities that make you feel you’re in a hotel not an Airbnb. The caretakers are readily available and easily found as they are doing upkeep to the property, so asking questions is easy. Short 10 min ride to El Tunco. Will return!

Just got back from a most incredible location and well laid out oasis Puenta Elephante is extraordinary!  Herbert and his team catered to our every need and question with our family of 7.   From the start of the trip to the end of our 8 days,  we were treated to endless gifts that El Salvador has to offer.   The property is incredible,  with plenty of beds, pools and large kitchen for cooking meals.   Everyone could find a space to hang out with the group or not.   The tide Pools were the feature area as its the highlight of the property.   We had an incredible stay from start to finish and we couldn't have done it without Herbert and his team.  THANK YOU!!!!

Our group of 11 was fascinated by the service, amenities, and beauty of the house. The experience is totally worth it. It was our first stay visiting El Salvador and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Our 2-3 days there were not enough, absolutely recommended. Herbert, Daniel, and the whole team are the best.

Nuestro grupo de 11 quedó fascinado con el servicio, las amenidades, y la belleza de la casa. Totalmente vale la experiencia. Fue nuestra primera estancia visitando en El Salvador y no pudimos haber escogido un mejor sitio. Nuestros 2-3 días ahí no fueron suficientes, absolutamente recomendado. Herbert, Daniel, y todo el equipo son lo máximo.

Great stay! Extremely clean! Great host and very responsive. Beds were comfortable. Alvaro and Mercedes were so attentive. My family really enjoyed it.

Let’s start by saying, the views alone sell this place. WOW! WOW! WOW! Pros: Views, the 5 pools (only have access to four, unless you include honeymoon suite; which I did not know about at time of booking), the rooms and AC were great. Let’s talk about the AMAZING staff! Herbert was extremely responsive. Daniel, Mercedes, Alberto were all absolutely wonderful to communicate and organize everything with. Food runs, alcohol, any accommodations, you need it? They make it happen. I cannot say enough about this place. It is an absolute must if you come to La Libertad. Cons: the water pressure in the showers is very light, which is shocking because of what you pay for. BEWARE of scorpions and bats. This was expected as they are common for the area, but for newcomers; be aware. We did have to kill 3 scorpions as they are/can be venomous, (one was on my nephews backpack) so please be careful about putting bags on floor and ALWAYS double check bags and beds every morning and night.

Host is top notch. The team at the house was responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. Wonderful house and the Property was big enough to spread out and still have plenty of space for all. Group of 14 adults and teens. We ate dinner at the house almost every night cooked by the team or an outside chef, meals were great. Location is good, the drive to the Sunzal surf break is about 5-7 min. On low tide times we walked to El Tunco. Definitely would stay again!!

awesome place made our family vacation  memorable ❤️ 💙

This home was absolutely incredible! It features 4 spacious bedrooms in the main area, along with 2 additional separate apartments, offering plenty of space and privacy. The staff were incredibly helpful, particularly when guiding us along the beach during low tide, which made exploring much easier. We also hired Mercedes to cook all of our meals, and they were not only delicious but also very convenient—highly recommend! The only downside is that getting to town can be a bit tricky. Depending on the tide, walking via the road or the beach can be challenging, so keep that in mind if you're planning to venture out frequently.

Herbert and the whole team at punta elephante were absolutely amazing to say the least!! The house was a gorgeous, well kept and exactly as pictured! Daniel and the team was soo amazing and accommodating to our every needs. Anything we needed or wanted to do while in El Salvador they were able to make happen without any stress! The drivers were sooo nice and willing to stop for our every needs. It was nice to feel pampered, especially during our morning massages!! I would definitely comeback and recommend this place to everybody!! Thanks again for an amazing stay and making my birthday special!!!

Our host was always incredibly responsive and helpful, and the staff was great

I stayed at Herbert’s place with 10 friends for a special occasion. Herbert was accommodating, communicative, the place was great and the location is close to El Tunco town with great restaurants, bars and more. Highly recommend if you’re staying in the area with a big group.

This location was beautiful! My family and I were amazed with how amazing it is. The pictures don’t do it justice. Herbert was always available to help. The staff was AMAZING! Daniel helped us with so much! Don Álvaro and Doña Mercedes were so sweet and helped with groceries and meals. Daniel kept checking on us  if we weren’t out and about. He also helped order pizza for the kids a few times. He makes amazing mojitos! We even got to meet Herbert Sr and he was just the sweetest! My father is hard to impress and he was surprised with how amazing everything was. We were all so sad to leave just a wonderful place. Will definitely be returning to this paradise in the future! Thank you Herbert, Renato, Daniel, Don Alvaro and Doña Mercedes for everything. You made our vacation so special!

If you're considering booking this house, I highly recommend that you go for it! The experience exceeded all my expectations. The property is truly stunning and offers everything you could hope for and more. Additionally, Mercedes Alvero and Luz, the housekeepers, provided exceptional service that made us feel like we were at a luxurious resort. Each morning, Mercedes prepared breakfast for our group of 14, which was a wonderful touch to our stay. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

Herbert’s place was amazing! This is the second time our family stays at his place and both time the stay was just perfect. Herbert and his team are all very responsive and always ready to help whether that’s by getting some fresh coconut water from the many coconut trees in the property, to helping us order food from restaurants nearby. Additionally, the view Herbert’s property has was just a dream come true, specially during sunsets. Overall this was a great place and we would highly recommend. We hope to come stay here again soon!

We rented this beautiful villa with 15 friends together and each of us loved it! A prime location on the beachfront, numerous swimming pools, caring staff, unparalleled cleanliness! A stay we'll remember for a long time! Thanks again to Herbert, Daniel, Mercedes and Alvaro! <3

Nous avons loué cette magnifique villa 15 amis ensemble et chacun d'entre nous a adoré! Un emplacement de choix sur le bord de la mer, de nombreuses piscines, des employés aux petits soins, une propreté hors paire! Un séjour dont on se souviendra longtemps! Merci encore à Herbert, Daniel, Mercedes et Alvaro! <3

What an amazing home! We felt like family during the week here. The staff were all so attentive, kind, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. The home is spectacular with its rustic feel and natural decor. Staying in this home felt like a paradise, like another world where we felt we had no cares at all. We saw whales playing in the ocean which we never knew was something we needed to see. We explored the caves beneath the home and caught sight of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. They all were different, each was unique and majestic in its own right. We would certainly go back, in fact, we have started planning our next holiday to this utopia, Punta Elefante.

The place was beautiful. Herbert and his staff go above and beyond! The pool was clean and water felt great. The views and sunset looking at elephant point was awesome! Daniel, (concierge) was attentive at EVERYTHING. He had fresh made coffee from Herbert’s familiar coffee farm in the morning and handled little grocery runs for us. He ran over to a local mini mart for pastries in the morning when we asked about it. He took care of everything from taking the luggage out, to putting it back in the cars when we left. We also booked massages at the house, Herbert arranged everything, and had massages in the morning overlooking the ocean. We were 9 people in total. Highly recommend. Thank you Herbert and thank your staff again for us. Very impressive.

I can't begin to express how happy my family and I are to have stayed at Herbert's incredible home. The oceanfront views, the size and comfort of the home, and the convenience of its location relative to El Tunco, El Zonte, La Libertad were all just the tip of the iceberg. Herbert and the on-site staff were the real highlight. They made us feel like family and made themselves available to every need and every request we made. My family and I will make Herbert's house our preferred place to stay on extended family vacations to El Salvador. Thank you, we'll see you again soon!

Thank You so much, Gerson; so Kind of you. I will extend your appreciation to our Staff; see you guys soon :)

Our trip to Punta Elephante was everything we could have asked for and more. Herbert's place is absolutely stunning. Open aired, with ample space to move around. Pools were clean and refreshing. Rooms had plenty of space and the staff was always helpful. We arrived to Punta Elephante on the back-end of a family re-union. I have family in ES and even they were blown away by this little slice of paradise Herbert's place offered. Our only regret was not staying there an extra day or two. Only 45 or so minutes from San Salvador. The exit off the main road was a quick one, but once you find it, Herbert provided us with videos and clear instructions for entry. We had small kids in our group, so anything being "walking distance" for us was not a factor. Short drive from El Tunco and Sunset Beach. The staff coordinated in-home massages for us on one of the levels of the home where all you hear are the waves crashing. Can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Herbert, Daniel and co.!

My family and I had an incredible stay at this house! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a 5 star home . The space was beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches even the hand made chairs !!! throughout that made it incredibly cozy and inviting. The rooms all had bathrooms , making getting ready a breeze , and the living areas were extra spacious, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The outdoor space was also fantastic , providing a great spot to unwind. Communication with the host and the housekeepers omg was seamless, and they made sure we had everything we needed. we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious retreat.  We Can’t wait to come back we already are planning on coming back next year and actually staying longer.

A beautiful house to rest and spend it with the whole family. The great attention and the photos do not do justice to the beautiful of the place ☀️

Una hermosa casa para descansar y pasarla con toda la familia. La atención buenísima y las fotos no le hacen justicia a lo bonito del lugar ☀️

We stayed at Herbert’s beautiful home for 8 days. Our group was 8 adults; the 4 rooms were spacious with comfortable bedding. It was the perfect place to relax with friends with great surf locations only 10 to 20 minutes away via car. All of our hosts were so kind and accommodating. We had a private chef one evening. Herbert sent us delicious ceviche one evening. We lit up the grill and cooked one night. There are a few hotels within walking distance with restaurants too. The saltwater pools are amazing. I can’t say enough good things about the property and the service. We highly recommend this property and hope to return one day.

Thank you to Mr. Herbert for letting us stay in this amazing hacienda style home. Him and his team treated my family with complete hospitality and kindness. They were very attentive and made us feel like royalty. We definitely plan on retuning to this Airbnb. The location is a 15 min walk from El Tunco. Rooms were clean and had all necessary equipment. Thank you to Daniel as well who woke up early and ensured coffee was ready by 5 am along with ensuring our daily needs were met any time of the day.

This was truly the best Airbnb experience I have had to date. The pictures do not do the property justice. The views are otherworldly. The location was perfect in that it was peaceful and private, but it was also walking distance to amenities, the beach, and nightlife. What stood out the most about our stay was how Herbert treated us like family from the moment we arrived. He responded within minutes when we needed absolutely anything. The service was above and beyond what we could have possibly imagined it would be. It was clear that Herbert and his staff are genuinely so passionate about showing their guests what El Salvadoran hospitality is all about. A special and sincere thanks to Daniel, who took care of our every need, night and day, and ensured we were comfortable and relaxed throughout our entire stay. Thank you to everyone at Punta Elephante for making our experience so magical, we hope to see you all again soon.

I highly recommend Punta Elephante.  Herbert was very responsive both before and during the stay.  The property was clean, and location is phenomenal and beautiful.  Staff on site were invisible when we didn’t need them but always seemed to be there if we needed anything, and they volunteered to help us in ways that we didn’t anticipate.  There are many sitting areas throughout the property, so it’s easy to gather in groups or find solitude if desired.  All common areas are outdoors (many of which are well covered, and fans are available) so if you want to sit around as a group in front of a TV inside, this isn’t the place.  However, if you want to enjoy the multiple pools, the ocean, or relax in a hammock, this is the perfect spot.  We had a group of 11 and more than enough space.  I will absolutely seek out this house if we return to the area, especially if we have a need for multiple rooms.  It’s about a 10 minute walk to El Tunco or a $2-3 Uber ride, and Ubers were easy to get.

Paradise in El Salvador! The perfect place to gather with friends or family. Excellent for families, the kids loved the pool. The hosts helped us get a chef and arrange massages and were all-around welcoming and friendly. Our whole group highly recommends.

Amazing stay! Very relaxing! Herbert was really responsive. Will definitely come back

We booked the Punta Elephante villa for our annual family reunion. I being in charge of planning the trip was a bit nervous about coming to El Salvador, but not only is it a beautiful country but we felt completely safe and welcome the entire trip. Our host Herbert was very responsive and helped arrange cooking staff, yoga, and massage and has always available to help translate to the caretaker if anything was needed. The villa is amazing. gorgeous design and we'll appointed entertaining areas including the central pool. Our party got the additional honeymoon suite which has a private kitchen and pool and is well separated from the rest of the complex. each room has its own AC Unit and there was plentiful hot water for showers. For large groups this was a hotel expirence with all the privacy of a luxury villa Airbnb. I highly recommend

It was a pleasure hosting Cyrus 🙏 and the whole family. I am so glad that I was able to represent my Country with all the services provided and that you felt safe in the new 🇸🇻 El Salvador. Spread the word.

Such a great place to stay. 10 minute walk to Tunco town or just a 2 minute drive. Nice restaurants located just down the road. Multiple great surf breaks withing 5 minutes. The staff is very kind and always one step ahead of everything. Best place to stay by far.

The view and dining area are so beautiful. Honestly the whole house was so peaceful. My family and I chose this as our family vacation home, we couldn’t have picked better. The host were very responsive and attentive. Highly recommend.

The host and staff were super friendly and kind. They were able to meet our every needs. We got relaxing massages with a beautiful view. The staff was kind enough to go grocery shopping for us and even managed to help us buy decorations and cake for a small and quiet birthday. We are forever grateful and fortunate to have met such amazing people and to have stayed in such a welcoming place. Definitely recommend to anyone trying to unwind and enjoy some time with family.

El Salvadorian hospitality is unmatched. Herbert from day one of booking was so passionate in us having the most wonderful trip possible. He helped us in finding the best activities, accommodating us with booking in house masseuse, dining, tour guides, etc. I bothered him sooo much with endless messages and calls but not once did he ever seem to mind. It was such a luxurious experience and our group was so appreciative of everything him and his staff did. It felt like we were at a private boutique hotel with stunning views and a beautifully built villa. I wish I could have stayed longer, this was the best airbnb experience by far. Thank you so much for giving us an incredibly memorable trip. Everyone in our group was stunned by how perfect everything was!!! Muchas gracias!

Thank you, Cindy!!! MI casa es su casa, I hope this is your 1st of many trips to our beautiful country

Our stay at Punta Elefante was absolutely unforgettable. The property boasts breathtaking views that are truly mesmerizing, especially at sunrise and sunset. The expansive grounds are beautifully maintained, offering plenty of space to relax and explore. A special shout-out to Herbert, who was incredibly attentive and made sure every aspect of our stay was perfect. The caretakers, Karla and Joaquin, were equally wonderful. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail made us feel right at home, whether it was arranging for take-out meals, or cooking a delicious meal for our family. Punta Elefante is a gem, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend this beautiful getaway for anyone looking to experience the best of El Salvador!

Very large and spacious the house, its beautiful surroundings. Very nice atmosphere, especially the attention of the staff, excellent. Joaquin and his wife were very helpful and kind. We really enjoyed our family vacations. We would come back again.

Muy grande y espaciosa la casa, sus alrededores hermosos. Muy agradable el ambiente, sobre todo la atencion del personal, excelentes. Joaquin y su esposa fueron muy serviciales y amables. Disfrutamos mucho nuestras vacaciones en familia. Regresariamos de nuevo.

Such a beautiful place, we’ve been here two times and somehow it keeps getting better, the rooms are very clean the service is amazing, very welcoming and definitely makes you feel at home. You will not regret your stay!!

Man, where to start… this was much more than what we expected. Herbert & Renato were so humble, welcoming and sweet. My family and I really enjoyed Puna Elefante. Herbert & Renato were quick to respond to questions answered gave us so many recommendations. The place is literally home away from home. My kids (ages ranged from 17-3) loved everything. Everything was super clean and accessible. And what can I say about Joaquin and Karlita, such sweet, humble and caring. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making Your home our Home. We really appreciate each and every one of you.

Great stay with the family. We enjoyed our time in this location. It was right on the coast. You can hear the waves crashing. All the staff was extremely helpful and kind. We enjoyed great tortillas and coconuts! The rooms were clean. Towels were available.

Beautiful scenery  and the hospitality  was outstanding.  From the minute I booked the reservation Herbert was there to help.  Chef Kevin’s cooking was delicious.  I will most definitely visit again.

Can’t put into words the experience we had at Punta Elefante, my sister, cousins, niece, and my significant other, had such an amazing experience here, from Herbert’s recommendations/experiences that came with the house, to local places to eat, everything was just perfect. Herbert and Herbert Senior were so amazing, Carla and Joaquin who are there to help through out the stay were simply just amazing people, they deserve any tips left to them, they did such a great job keeping the place clean, helping out if we needed anything, and just felt like family. The Taquiza experience is something everyone staying should do, TACOS were to die for. The coffee experience we learned so much, and what a treat. The staff overall was just so accommodating. We surfed next door, toured nearby places and ate our way through. Maria was the sweetest touring the house and letting us know they were there to do anything to make our experience exceptional. Truly amazing after not having gone in 34 years!

I have stayed in numerous Airbnbs around the world and Punta Elephante is easily up there with the best I have ever stayed at. There was 11 of us guys who stayed at the Airbnb, and there was more than enough space for all of us. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Maria greeted us and showed us around the Airbnb despite our very late arrival (after midnight). Karla and Juoaquin kept the place spotless, and provided us whatever we needed throughout our stay (clean towels, made us coffee in the morning, swept and mopped the rooms / bathrooms, etc.). And Herbert - where to even begin with Herbert. What an amazing host, and I cannot emphasize that enough. He was extremely responsive from the start, and helped coordinate whatever we needed. Transportation to all of our destinations, grocery shopping, surf lessons, yacht rentals, restaurant / discotech recommendations, private dinners at the house - you name it, and Herbert was on it. Cannot recommend Punta Elephante enough!

This place was beautiful!! We really enjoyed out time here. Herbert and his team were very helpful and flexible with us. The rooms were clean and the AC was cold (It was tremendously hot out there).  Pool were clean, dishes were kept clean, the restrooms were clean. No complaints and would love to visit again.

Herbert was a wonderful host I have stayed with him 2 times now this year and he definitely treats you like family. Anything you need he will make sure it’s available. The staff takes care of the property as if it was a resort.

One of the top Airbnbs I've had the pleasure of staying in comfortably accommodated our group of 10 adults. The property offered plenty of space, great views, easy parking for any vehicle, and nearby restaurants that would even send waiters to the home for your convenience. What truly made our stay exceptional was the host and their team, who provided excellent extra services. We enjoyed a unique coffee tasting experience right in the home, seamless communication, and a range of other thoughtful amenities. The standout feature was the exceptional views that this property offered, making it a truly memorable stay.

One of the best airbnbs I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. We came as a large family trip of 10 adults and a kid. And this place still had PLENTY of room. The views were great, parking was easy, accessible by any car. Restaurants close by that will even send waiters to the home to take your order! But the real standout is the host and all the extra services he offers as well as his staff. We did the extra coffee tasting experience (which was in the home so it was very convenient), messages, and also added the upgrade of the honeymoon sweet that is built right into the cliff over the ocean with a small private pool. One of the best views I’ve ever seen! Overall, the place was amazing. Herbert was fantastic. I can’t wait to come back!

This home is paradise in El Salvador.  Herbert and his staff are amazing. They went beyond expation with any question or request I had. The private surf lesson is a must. Three professional surf instructors came to the home, we walked down to the beach at low tide and had the best lesson. The moment we walked in, my family felt at home. We felt safe and secure at all times and never had a complaint.  We can't wait to return to paradise.

Let me start off by saying, I just got home and miss Punta Elephante and El Salvador already. From the beginning to the end, Communication with Herbert was incredibly easy. He was very attentive and made sure to answer quickly. Anything that could have possibly been needed, he provided and made an effort to make sure we felt at home the whole stay. Directions to the home was extremely easy and check in was a breeze! Maria greeted us with an incredibly warm and inviting smile and walked us through this gorgeous home. If you’re renting a vehicle, parking is inside and very secure. As soon as you walk through the hacienda style home, you feel like you’re in paradise. It is the most beautiful home with amazing views. Prepare to be rocked to sleep by the sound of the beach waves and be woken up by the beautiful chirp of the birds. There is so much that this home and Herbert offers, I have to say the tours are amazing, the Coffee experience is a must and the surf lessons can’t be missed!

El Salvador has many nice airbnbs. This one in particular is a must see. The caves, the pools, the homes history, local bar, el tunco down the street, surf city a short drive, and the capital 35 mins away. It truly doesn’t get any better. Reserve it before everyone around the world knows about it!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. Herbert helped arrange so many exceptional services for our group such as grocery delivery, airport transfer, coffee experience, scuba diving, surf lessons, massages, and even yoga! The common areas, rooms, pools, and kitchen were so beautiful and so clean. The stunning terrace views were top-notch. Herbert's commitment to ensuring an unforgettable experience sets him apart as a remarkable host. I can't wait to return and create more amazing memories at Punta Elephante!!!

Wow! The home really is a gem!! We were all blown away with the views, the home, and the amount of activities that were made available to us right on site. Herbert and the onsite staff were amazing, they made any request come true. We took advantage of the on site massages (we booked approx 20 massages within a week for our large group), restaurant recommendations, and surf lessons from a nearby school that brought boards and three instructors to the home for our convenience. It was amazing!! The home is also worth mentioning! It feels like an Italian villa, with a lot of greenery, palm trees with coconuts (if ripe they climb up and get them for you), and endless pool options. The rooms are larger than we expected with high ceilings and a bathroom in each room. They are very clean and have air conditioning that cools the room very quick, no concern there. Lastly, make sure you take a stroll on the beach when the tide is out! We cannot wait to come back!!

We stayed at Punta Elefante with our family after our wedding. We had an amazing time at one of the most unique airbnb I have ever stayed at. Herbert and his team were really nice and also showed us around (e.g. caves at the beach break). I can recommend staying there a lot!

thank you Tobias i was a pleasure to host you :)
