Wow! Where do I even begin!! This was the WORST Airbnb experience EVER! Here is what was wrong: 1. We could not find the place at night. The instructions were not very clear. 2. No drinking water at the location. Only 2 mini water bottles for a family of 5. 3. Not enough shower towels. Only 4 for a family of 5. 4. The home was listed as a 3bd but one of the bedrooms is detached from the rest. Unable to use. Never told us the 3rd bedroom was separate from the house. 5. No curtains in the main living room or showers. People could literally see you shower if there was someone in the back yard. 6. They decided to do construction while we were there. Construction from 8am-4pm. We had to leave the house everyday they were doing construction because of the noice. William and his employees lied and said no noise but it was horribly loud! 7. The construction workers towards the end of the stay put a black tarp across the back yard which blocked our view. 8. Lost power and water, etc.

Loved our stay! The home is beautifully decorated, the patio is stunning, and the hosts were incredibly kind and attentive. One thing to keep in mind is that the road leading to the house is unpaved and fairly rough. While that's not unusual in El Salvador, I'd recommend renting a 4x4 or pickup truck to make getting in and out much easier. Also, avoid leaving the windows open for extended periods since there are no mesh screens and the home is surrounded by nature, so it's easy for insects and other small critters to get inside. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

This Airbnb was great. It was so peaceful and private but also so close to numerous bars and restaurants. Fully stocked if you want to cook a meal Both of the main rooms are very spacious super comfy beds. Great water pressure and hot water. The pool and deck was amazing. And we were very thankful for sixto and cleaning the pool twice a day because at nighttime there’s a lot of bugs that end up in the pool. In all honesty I would consider this a two bedroom. The 3rd bedroom is not the greatest as mentioned in the listing it is not inside the actual home. The room is really small. It’s a lil creepy you do see bugs and other creatures. and none of my party wanted to stay there. Overall I would stay here again. And truly enjoyed my stay
Host Response

Feedback like yours motivates us to continue providing a quality experience. We also appreciate your comment about the single room. As described in the listing, it is an external studio-type room (outside the main house), designed as an additional option. We will take your comment into account to continue improving the way we communicate its features and thus ensure that our guests' expectations are always clear. It will be a pleasure to welcome you again in the future.

Had an amazing stay here. The home is very cozy, well kept, and the views are honestly one of the best parts super peaceful and exactly what you want when you’re out in El Salvador. Location is a huge plus too. You’re just minutes away from all the El Tunco beach bars and restaurants, so it’s easy to go out and enjoy everything and still come back to a quiet spot. Only thing to note is the entrance road it’s a bit rough getting up there, so I’d definitely recommend a truck or 4x4. That said, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. Overall, great stay and would definitely come back.
Host Response

Staying at William’s place was one of the highlights of our trip! It was private, peaceful and the view was spectacular!! It was a quick 7min drive to El Tunco, and a short distance to the supermarket. Ideal location to relax by the pool and enjoy sun!
