Each room has its own bathroom which made it convenient for our stay. There were enough beds and towels. It’s a really quiet neighborhood and local neighbors are really kind. There’s a small tiendita nearby with fresh coconut water, it was so convenient.

Thx for taking the time to leave a lovely reviews. Always welcome to stay with One Wave Surf House and now you have our deets to book in dIrectly
Our stay at this magnificent property was wonderful. We love that it was a gated community with security, the pool was clean and lovely when needed to cool off. The rooms all had A/C and worked perfectly. The property overall had alot vegetation and friut trees makong this a lovely place to wake up in and spend our night.
I stayed in this property for one night. Loved the pool it was my favorite part of the stay. There are many mosquitos late in the evening, would recommend preparing for that. The property was clean overall good for what is expected in El Salvador. My only negative part of the experience was the cleaning people arriving so early in the morning to clean while people are still there. They arrived at 9:30 am while we were still using the place and went directly to the kitchen to which we had to rush out because it became uncomfortable to be there with unknown people who were just waiting for us to leave. I love the location for the quiet and private experience.

Caretaker on property was prompt in responding to questions or request made. Beds could use an upgrade. We did have plumbing issues in 1 bedroom, but there was 2 other full bathrooms to use in lieu. More lighting would have also been useful when walking upstairs. I can’t stress enough that having working AC units in each room what the best.
