Hotels in El Salvador

I have stayed three or four times in the Courtyard Marriott in San Salvador. The hotel itself has all you would expect of such a hotel. The attitude and friendliness of the staff is excellant. One of the best features is not even the hotel itself, buts it's location next to the Gran Via shopping Center. This is a meeting and social area for many in San Salavdor and the music' lights and festivities ensure most enjoyable evenings. there are more plush (and expensive) hotels in San Salvador, but no better place to stay in my view.

Nice hotel, attentive staff. Not much to do in the area but it is El Salvador. Great beds. The food is acceptable. Nice pool and grounds. The water is a bit chilly. We've stayed at several hotels in San Salvador including Hilton and Intercontinental but like the Sheraton the best.

I enjoyed my stay in San Salvador. The Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, they spoke fluent English which also helped. The Hotel was in a great location surrounded by great nightlife establishments.

This is an excellent value: 2 persons, 3 meals a day, open drinks, and an air conditioned, clean room with a Pacific Ocean view, in the Tropics! The Maya sculpture reproductions and well tended gardens made the place very inviting, and the buildings are well kept and pools inviting.We do recommend staying farther from block 1/Lobby 1 and the low numbered rooms of block 2, as the disco and bar and pool music are quite loud and close to lobby 1 . Blocks 3 and 4 look good for that reason, block 5 is quiet but farther from the ocean. Make your room choice wishes known when you make reservations, as check in is en masse in the convention center in a huge room, your name will be called and to a table number in Spanish to check in for your keys; you will probably need to wait for another room to open up in a day or so to make changes.Think of it as run like a cruise ship on the beach, and you will navigate the system! All rooms have an oceanside view however. Not all rooms have a refrigerator, even though the Hotels.com summary says so. The pools are clean, the drinks plentiful (but not strong), lots of activities for kids and adults, there is a decent gym for free, free wireless internet, nice spa services; the best of the reservation only restaurants we tried was the Maya Steakhouse, the Bambu was a very poor imitation of Thai food, and Fusion was okay if you can eat seafood. Be sure to make dinner reservations in the morning as space is limited and there is competition for reservations, there are 2 seatings a night en masse (like a cruise ship). As an alternative, the main dining halls are on a drop in basis and have decent food selections for breakfast and dinner, and there is a snack/lunch available as well. The security was impressive, and there is an on site tour planning office, with great tours to archaeology sites like Ceren and Copan. You can hire a driver and do your own tour thru this office as well, if you are feeling secure enough to know where your are goin

Overall this hotel is nice and clean and well located.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and everyone at the Hotel was very courteous and accommodating. My only recommendation would be that the Hotel should have someone at the front desk that speaks fairly good English. It was difficult at times to communicate with the staff.

The only down fall of this hotel was the the front security person did not know the name of the Hotel. Other than that it was fantastic - from the food to the staff everything was great.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
