Hotel Majahual Resort

8/10 Good
"We had a great stay at Hotel Resort Mahahual! The location was perfect for us—very close to Majahual Beach, making it easy to enjoy the beach and then come back to relax by the hotel’s nice pool. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We especially appreciated that the cleaning staff always gave us a heads-up and asked if we wanted the room cleaned before entering. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, including AC, a TV with Netflix and YouTube, and a functional bathroom with a shower and flushable toilet. The rooms and bathrooms aren’t the most modern or luxurious, but they were comfortable and had all the basics we needed. Breakfast was included every day, which was a huge plus! My kids absolutely loved the pancakes. We also enjoyed the drinks—especially the margaritas and beers—and had lunch and dinner at the hotel. The pasta was delicious! Overall, we definitely recommend this hotel. Just don’t book it expecting a fancy luxury resort. It’s a comfortable, clean, friendly place that was perfect for our family: a place to sleep, enjoy breakfast, relax by the pool, and then head out to explore beautiful El Salvador. For what we needed, it was great!"

"The room was excellent with air conditioning for the hot climate in the area! Loved the special look of the village! Breakfast was great with the exception that I had to self order each meal and drinks because they seemed low on staff. Over all my stay was great I would recommend giving this special place a chance - however is more suitable for couples than family"

"This hotel is the perfect place to relax, unwind and recharge. Its very close to main attractions at La Libertad, like Tunco beach. The rooms are more than spacious, very comfortable and clean. The food is pretty good, and the staff always very nice. The views from the hotel are also very nice and what I loved most was that is ocean front. You can go to the beach at anytimes by just going a few steps out from the same hotel and then come back and take a swim or just relax by the pool. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to come back soon."

"I LOVED THIS PLACE. I’m so glad I found this place and chose to stay here. It’s minutes to the beach and it’s so safe to walk around at night. I’m a solo female traveler and there was never a moment I felt unsafe. I booked the room with hot water and honestly, I could’ve been ok without because I used the outdoor bamboo shower to rinse off the sand and the water felt amazing. The property is so cute ! The breakfast was delicious. They have a bar and restaurant and the food is great if you choose to have a night cap there, if not, plenty of great restaurants steps away. I used the pool and it was so cute. There’s a convenient store couple doors down for water and drinks. They close the gate at night so it’s secured. The staff were all so friendly and happy ! I’m going to come back and stay here again. Thank you staff !"
