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!

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

Nice house and amazing suite, unfortunately some lines were stained

Host Response

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.
