This is my second time reserving Rancho El Angel and again it did not disappoint us. A beautiful view of the beach, spacious for big groups, clean and comfortable rooms, clean kitchen, a place to relax and enjoy! Be ready not to want to leave therefore I recommend 2 nights minimum stay….

With Velia, everything was easy. Very good communication and flexibility on her part with our stay. Highly recommended place and host.

Secluded and peaceful place to stay in with you family especially if you are bringing large groups. Luis was very attentive and place was spacious and clean. You may have want to bring your own food, drinks with ice. cook your own food please but We recommend to be precautious with ordering food with the recommended place the place offers since 3 of my family members got sick overnight and following the next day. They ordered burgers and fried fish. Stomach aches and vomiting. Overall place was great

The place is very clean and very quit to stay, however we share space with another unit, there is a common area to share; lucky we the only guests that day, too expensive to share with strangers.

Host Response

Thank you for staying with us. While we’re sorry to hear that your stay did not fully meet your expectations, we appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve. Communication throughout the reservation was great , everything we offer including the fact that beach access is shared is in the description of our beach homes. As far as our pictures, not matching with our property the only comments that we have received on that is that , photos simply can’t capture how beautiful this place really is. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

Our family truly enjoyed our weekend at this beautiful rancho. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful, welcoming, and exactly as pictured. The location is amazing—having the beach so close made our stay even more special for walks, swimming, and relaxing by the ocean. The pool was clean and refreshing, and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing together as a family. The rooms were exceptionally comfortable, clean, and cozy, creating a homely atmosphere. Luis, the caretaker, was outstanding—very responsive, helpful, and always available when we needed assistance. His friendliness and support made a big difference in our stay. Overall, we highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach getaway. Just be sure to bring your groceries, as the nearby mini market has limited options. We would definitely stay here again!

The ranch at Icacal beach was a gorgeous place. the grounds are perfectly kept. I was very pleased with the maintenance of the entire place. The rooms and the entire house was very clean and it looked like the place has been upgraded recently. Pool was crystal clear. I had never been to that beach and was surprisingly amazed by it (I am not a fan of the pacific ocean and don't like to bath in it) but this beach felt very safe. There are no underwater currents which make it safer to swim. I actually went into the ocean every day I was there and finally enjoyed the Pacific with peace. I highly recommend this place and will gladly come back. Beach feels very private. Owner responds quick to any inquiries you may have and the property keeper is very polite and helpful. The road to get there was a bit uncomfortable but once you get there you will be have a very pleasant surprise.

I absolutely loved staying at this place. The beach was amazing. My family had a very pleasant time both during the day and at night. We did have a small incident, but Don Luis and Don Orlando took care of it right away. That’s another thing I truly appreciated about them…their dedication to making sure their guests have a great experience. And we absolutely did. My family and I will definitely be staying here every December. In addition to this, the pools are amazing, and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. Don’t think twice book it and be ready to have a great time!

As a recommendation, it needs a washing machine and dryer, based on our experience in other places. To spend several days, as was our case, you can't take so many clothes, especially when there are 8 of us. Otherwise, everything is fine. Very nice place. Don Luis, the caretaker, was very friendly. He solved what we needed. I recommend it. The beach is one of the best, if not the best, on the entire east coast. Charming and very safe to enjoy with family and friends.

Very private location. Beach is steps away. Make sure you bring food and drinks because there isn’t much around. It was very peaceful. Great for family getaway.

Great ranch with a private exit to the beach. If you wish to spend a lot of time at the beach without a crowd or tourist, this is the perfect place. We had the whole beach to ourselves. The closest business is a small resort walkable distance 5 minutes away; that is where you will see others enjoying the beach. We walked there a few times to enjoy some drinks at the bar. Ranch is located within a 15 minute drive away from the main road, so plan accordingly. We had forgotten to buy charcoal and some other food items and the host was very nice to bring them for us by paying him a small fee.

This is our second time staying at this house. Nice clean rooms with modern bathrooms. Air conditioning in all the rooms and in the kitchen which is great give how hot it is. Beach is beautiful. It’s off the beaten path so bring what you’re going for here but there is a small tienda nearby for basics. Host very response and accommodating.

El Rancho el Ángel is fantastic, we had the best, my family enjoyed the stay to the fullest. Luis, was attentive at all times and welcomed us and attended us wonderfully solving any impasse in the instant, he recommended a bar and restaurant that is a few meters from the property and was incredible. You can enter every type of vehicle, at most it is 1.4km on terracería road. The beach a spectacle and the super-clear and mega clean pool. In short: a private, safe and friendly place.

We stayed at Rancho Angel for 5 days. The property is divided into 2 different Airbnb rentals. Each rental is separated with their own amenities. We stayed in the bigger rental. The only unfortunate part is that there is no indoor common area to congregate as a family. The space is designed to spend most of your time outside as group. The kitchen is well equipped. There are bathrooms in every room & the decor is very modern and updated. The ACs work wonderful and bedrooms are clean.The rental has a lot of parking available. The only unfortunate part is that getting to the place is not as easy because the roads are extremely narrow and not paved to the property. You also can't reach the home via Google Maps, only via Waze. We only had internet for 1 day because after the first night there was a storm that burned the starlink satellite and router. It was not fun, but made us disconnect from the world. The beach is very nice and we enjoyed the privacy.

Excellent place very nice. We really enjoyed with my family. The only recommendation. Bring your own water, but if you do not bring there is also a shop nearby and they open at seven in the morning and close at seven in the evening

Velia's place is the perfect for dream getaway!! My family and I loved it!!

Great place once you get there. Luis, the caretaker, was very attentive and very caring. We asked for a car to take us to the closest town. When we took longer than expected, Luis called the driver to check on us and make sure we were safe. El Salvador is very safe and felt right at home.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The new house has new and clean rooms without clutter and it’s a nice air conditioned kitchen. There is ample shade and common outdoor space. Beach is beautiful and private. Lovely place for a group vacation.

Host Response

We are so glad that you had a great time!!

Loved the stay at this beautiful place!!!! Highly recommend that a 4x4 vehicle is used to access this location. The road to the air bnb is a bit rugged but it was being worked on during our stay. Luis (the grounds keeper/ maintenance man) was very very helpful with any questions/ needs we had. We definitely look forward to booking this place again in the future!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!

Host Response

Súper encantados de que la pasaron bien en nuestra casa de playa ! Es para nosotros también nuestro paraíso y nos encanta compartir con personas que si apreciamos la naturaleza y privacidad que nos brinda esta casa de playa los esperamos gracias!! 214 546 7377 ese es mi número por si desea comunicarse con nosotros

Nice beach with wildlife (birds, crabs, etc.) there’s a restaurant on walking distance you just had to walk on the beach to get there. Has a nice small pool for kids and adults. Really good attendant Luis who was very helpful! On the other hand, the road as of today is not finish yet, really difficult to access, the property has two buildings one of them it’s new but the other building was really out of date and not up to code. The showers had dirt inside with rusted decor, in one of the rooms the shower handle came off, We fixed it, beds barely fit in the bedrooms, beds also had this moist rotten mattress smell as well as I found big bugs inside the pillow cover where I was laying on, the kitchen had hand prints all over and the toaster oven had burnt crumbs left inside. We had to stayed on the new building. It was way too expensive to rent out and not worth it. Besides that, we loved the beach, amazing sunset, and if you want a really private and peaceful place, this is it.

Host Response

Hello Edith! Sorry to hear that we did not meet all your expectations. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, We strive to always be at our best. Unfortunately we don’t have any control over the road construction. We do advise our guests of it and recommend off road vehicles be used specially now with the construction and the rainy season. To get to our place our customers use WAZE it gets them there, with out any problem. We do let our clients know to bring everything they will need for their stay such food and drinks since the closest store is about 20 minutes away. There is two restaurants 5 minutes away. Yes there is two buildings, One is the original house and the second one is a new addition. As far as code everything is up to code , to the regulations of that country. As you state on your message we respond promptly, either on line, by phone or in person. Since our house keepers live next to our property, and they are available 24/7 for our customers. I wished you would have mentioned to us or to Luis about everything else that took place during your stay so that we had addressed it immediately and made your stay more pleasant. Our customers love that we are located in a remote and private area that way they can relax and are not bothered by anyone. The Beach is all to themselves. Again sorry for any inconvenience. Sincerely, Velia & Angel Rancho El Angel

Casa El Angel is beautiful and peaceful. Just what the doctor recommended. It is located steps from the beach and has beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset. Luis was so friendly and helpful, he and his wife Glenda, were responsive and answered all our questions. Luis comes over everyday to prep the pool and make sure the home is intact. When we visited, the road was under construction which made the drive to the home bumpy, but hopefully the construction will make the home more accessible for the next time we stay. We loved everything about the home so there will definitely be a next time for us. Thank you for hosting us and for making our visit to El Salvador a wonderful one.

Rancho el Angel was great! Velia was always communicating with me regarding our stay. Very suitable for my large family and everyone felt comfortable. We felt safe and were able to relax. The pool was nice and the beach very clean. Luis was there to help us with all our needs and made us feel welcome. I just recommend purchasing all your needs prior as the store nearby is very small. There is a restaurant nearby who delivered when we ordered. I would definitely stay again!

We had a very nice time with our family in this place. Regarding the accommodation, there are very good things and others that could be improved to make the experience truly unforgettable: The good thing: - Don Ángel, the owner, is extremely friendly and responsive, gives a lot of importance to the requirements of his guests and that is very appreciated. - The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the A/C works well and the bedding and towels are adequate, the beds are comfortable. - The pool is very nice and the area to be near there is very enjoyable - The beach is beautiful and very private. What could improve: - The kitchen area is very small, it does not have enough utensils and the stove and oven are also small. - There is not enough furniture for the number of guests. The dining room table is for 6 people, the living room is also small. Overall our experience was very good and it introduced us to a beautiful beach in the east of the country.

A great place in spaciousness and infrastructure , it has items for use in the kitchen and grill for guests, the pool is clean , large , renovated and with area for snacks and drinks plus area for children. The beach is opposite , despite having gone on the holiday it stayed with little influx of people , hundreds and hundreds of meters of sand and sea just for us. Spacious and very clean rooms , pleasant smell and even with a touch of hotel decor. The hosts were very attentive to us at all times and responded to requests within minutes , I congratulate them on that disposition, we felt accompanied in that regard Observations : - there is an area under construction near the pool that does not affect the use of this one but if one has children those things are important to keep them in mind to prevent tragedies -2 rooms have full bathrooms but a third does not have it, the third bathroom is in the pool area and if it rains it already runs out of access to it. We shared the 2 bathrooms of the other 2 rooms and I think that was the only significant inconvenience For me it has a 10 (despite the comments) , I would definitely go again and I recommend it to large groups of friends or family who want to spend a memorable time sharing in a tropical paradise.

This was my first time to El Salvador , let me tell you something , I had a really bad perspective of the country , but nothing like that @ all … overall my trip has been amazing but this rancho El Angel was the cherry on top !!! The place is amazing , view , pool , rooms amazing !! The only thing I was scare of , was getting there because the road is a very lonely road and rural . I want to thank Luis he was the one who made sure we were comfortable and made sure he was there for us 100%…. I will be coming back to el rancho and I CANT wait to see the new construction that is being done with more rooms and outside restroom . My kids and my family enjoyed the privacy of the pool , beach very secluded … family said nothing compares to this. Amazing stay for the family that lives here , has never experienced something like this … thank you rancho ángel we will be back …

Me and my family had a great time at this Ranch! I’m a big believer in you make your own experiences and how well or not well they end up but the surroundings tend to aid in the decision . It was an easy booking and the owners answered some early questions we had from the beginning which was a great way to start. The owner Angel was trying to get a hold of me a few days before we arrived to let me know there is some construction being done to the property, but assured me none of the construction (which was non active while our family stayed at the ranch) would interfere with our stay. Which I appreciated that he tried to alert me before we arrived versus not letting me know and me and my family walking into that scenery . We arrived and the concierge Luis met us and walked us through the rooms which were clean and set up nicely. Walked us through the property, answered our questions and was very helpful. We noticed the kitchen wasn’t as big as we seen on the pictures but, it had all the amenities it mentioned on the listing and overall did what we needed it to do . The pool was great for kids and my family enjoyed our time in it . The luxury of having the beach just steps away was just a huge plus to our stay. The construction was visible and one of our family members did step on a nail (she was not barefoot thankfully) but she wasn’t hurt or anything , we were just thankful it was an adult instead of one of the children walking around barefoot (construction was by the pool area). Overall as I said , my family and I had a great time . It was a very quiet and quaint location and our rooms were clean and comfortable and when we reached out to Luis or his wife Glenda , they responded quickly. We had some issues with the toilet and the electricity in the kitchen but we let Luis know and he was on it to help us out with it. Everyone was very attentive and friendly and I would recommend this place to friends and/or family.

Try to arrive early because the road is a little bumpy.

Wonderful stay! We wish we could have booked it for longer because it is a beautiful house in a perfect beach location! Luis was beyond AMAZING! The house was spotless when we arrived, the pictures really don’t do it justice, everything was on point! Quick tip for travelers… because the journey is a bit rustic, our best suggestion is to arrive during daytime/daylight and not at night when first arriving, the roads are pitch dark so don’t use google for directions, strictly use the Waze app. Muchísimas gracias por su atención y cortesía Luis! Usted fue gran parte por la cual estamos encantados con esta casa!
