Disappointing is an understatement
Other reviews stating renovations are needed, are an understatement. The location is lovely, and the main pool beside Vilma's house was maintained well, but that's where the good ended. The images online show a pool down on the beach.The pool is there but there is no water in it, only sand and garbage.

True bed 'n breakfast in a spectacular location
The accommodations were spartan (no hot water) and a bit rough around the edges. But the temperature was in the low 90's the entire week, and so.. a cold shower was in some instances not only tolerable, but necessary to avoid heat exhaustion! Lol. The location was spectacular and Vilma's full breakfasts were delicious! We enjoyed both traditional Salvadoran foods (frijoles, fried sweet plantains, huevos rancheros and fresh local fruits, papaya, mango, watermelon & cantaloupe) and what Vilma termed an "American breakfast" that included scrambled eggs, bacon, french toast with bananas and blueberries.. plus the ever-present sweet plantains!Vilma was instrumental in arranging a driver to bring us to her place and back to the airport (45 each way). And she also arranged for us to rent a small car (Kia Soul) from a local guy for two days (30 per day) that enabled us to meet up with friends in Ataco.Beto's Restaurant was conveniently only a short walk away, and we dined there three of the seven nights of our stay. Note: a 10% gratuity in included in the bill, but you are free to tip your individual server in addition. They were always very grateful.All in all, we think our stay at a "Small Hideaway on a Romantic small Private Beach with Exquisite Views" was well worth the price!

Beach escape
We had a fabulous time at Vilma’s beautiful clifside property! There was a slice of beach with great water for wading or wave surfing, and a lovely pool with plenty of shade. Our room was the perfect size for the three of us—my partner and daughter—with a kitchen to prepare meals. We loved the breakfasts!!! José took great care of us too. Wonderful people and super chill vibe. Also the location was fantastic, not far from the city, close to restaurants and busier beaches. Would return for sure!

We had a great stay. Ms. Vilma was a warm host and was quick to respond any questions we had. We stayed in a little hut that was very beautiful, breathtaking, and relaxing. There are nice restaurants in the area. Ms.Vilma was so sweet she served us with her home cooked typical salvadorian breakfast, it was delicious. We cant wait to go back.

The most romantic experience of your life!
Second time staying on the property and just as memorable! Vilma is an amazing hostess. Incredibly accommodating with the most romantic setting anyone could ask for. A private beach that can’t be reached by anyone even at low tide from the points. Epic sunsets combined with lush, tropical surroundings make for an incredibly relaxing time! Can’t wait to get back!

The property was above and beyond anything I could expect. Vilma as a host is like family treated me so well and always was helpful. She goes above and beyond to help you feel welcome and at home. The beach was private and was basically heaven, always available and a dream come true. I plan to come back next year and see my friends again 😁.

This place is fabulous. Vilma is a great host and Yanira was was so willing to meet our requests. The only thing I would suggest is to let guests know that there are a lot of steps to descend and climb. It's good exercise but not the thing for some guests. We love it and hope to come back. Thank you Vilma.

Truly a secluded paradise!
This property is breathtaking! Stunning views of the water from every step. Each bungalow felt private and secluded, almost like we had the place all to ourselves even when we had neighbors. It was so soothing to fall asleep and wake to the sound of the waves crashing. Each bungalow has its own terrace with comfy chairs and plenty of hammocks throughout the property. The sunsets were so beautiful and we were able to explore a bit and find a whole family of crabs. A fantastic place to completely unwind! The beach is semi private as there are only one or two other properties that can access it but for the majority of the stay, we had the beach to ourselves. Breakfast was amazing every morning with some of the best coffee I have ever had. Vilma and her staff went above and beyond with every detail. Helpful and funny! Even gave us recommendations for the best pupusas in El Tunco and helped us find our way to the closest supermarket. Can't wait to return to this wonderful location! Thanks to the entire team for making our new year vacation so special!

Gorgeous Secluded Getaway
These are four beautiful bungalows right on the ocean. Very peaceful and awash with sound of the ocean. We had a wonderful stay. Vilma and Yanira are wonderful hosts and went the extra mile to make out stay comfortable. The rooms are comfortable and have a much needed AC and mini fridge. Kitchen constitutes of a portable stove outside the bungalow under a shed. The property is peaceful most of the time. However it seems there are guests on a day pass (not over night) who come to hang out on the beach and that does take away from the 'private beach' vibe. All in all had a wonderful time and would recommend it. For those who surf, Sunzal is about 1.5miles away which I walked back and forth every day for about two weeks. There are a couple of nice restaurants by the property, though not cheap I have to add.

Perfect location, very good service by Yani, poor accommodations. The bungalows had multiple leaks, the doors got stuck, poor illumination, the whole place needs to be maintained properly. I am not coming back to this place for sure. However, this place has a lot of potential!!

Amazing simple bungalow cool n the beach
We loved this spot. You can’t be any closer to the beach, the sand a few feet from your sliding glass door. Vilma the host was incredible, so accommodating for anything extra we needed. Our room was super basic but all we needed and comfortable listening to the waves lull us to sleep each night, daily walks on the beach and dips steps from our door and mid day when it was hot just laying in bed in the AC still overlooking the ocean. I highly recommend and I will be back!!!

Xanadu Bungalows
We stayed 3 nights in one of the bungalows in Xanadu. Vilma was an exceptional host and made the best authentic breakfasts that were always accompanied with fresh local fruit. Communication prior to our arrival and throughout our stay was great. Vilma always made us feel welcomed and was always accessible. The location of the bungalows was hands down the best selling feature. The beach was private, stunning and most times we had it all to ourselves. We highly recommend dining at Beto’s restaurant next door and also trying out the local brewery Cadejos a few restaurants down (about a 10 minute walk). The bungalows themselves could use some updating and minor repair. However the value is in the location, the beautiful black sandy ocean front beach and the stunning views. Thank you Vilma for being a wonderful host! We hope to return in the near future : )
