We stayed at Vista Las Olas toward the end of our 10 day visit to El Salvador. After seeing several other accommodations throughout El Salvador I can say this is definitely one of the nicest in the country. The hotel itself is beautiful, set between the ocean and the beautiful jungle. We stayed in the room directly in front of the pool, we knew there would be less privacy this way (our curtains had to stay closed the whole time to not have our whole room exposed to all the guests) but that was fine as the room was very convenient for our two kids who swam a great majority of the time. The room had one small window with a screen, but everything else was just glass and had to be closed. Not a complaint but just something to note if you’re expecting to hear the waves crashing with your windows open at night, this won’t happen. A/C in the room worked great. Something to note, especially if you’re used to American hotels, this is El Salvador, this is the jungle, there are bugs. Bring bug repellent. If you’re looking for a hotel with N. American cleanliness and N. American standards, look in the US. The restaurant was around the corner from the rooms and up a set of stairs. While the prices are high for El Salvador, the service was excellent and so was the food. Everything we ordered was top notch. There are rocky stairs (wear shoes) to the side of the resort that lead down to the beach. When the tide is high you can still access a medium sized crescent beach at the bottom of the stairs. When the tide is low you can walk the whole length of the beach in front of the hotel all the way down to other hotels. The beach is public but not crowded at all. The town of El Cuco is about .5 mile walk from the hotel. We walked there a couple of times and had some icecream and some pupusas. El Cuco is a small fishing village, a mix of traditional El Salvador and touristy El Salvador. The hotel offered a service to have a driver drive us to San Miguel to take our covid tests we needed to re-enter the states. The driver was very professional and nice, the car was clean and safe. We also arranged to be driven to the airport on our departure day and again had a nice, clean, safe experience. Our whole experience was excellent, all of the staff we encountered was professional and very nice. We will definitely be visiting again.
