My husband and I had a fabulous stay at Vilma’s secret hideaway! The location was superb! The breakfasts were delicious! The best part was the thoughtfulness from both Vilma and Jose. We stayed for a week and couldn’t have been happier with this gem and the gracious hosts! We will be back!

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.

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!

Hidden Gem

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.

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!

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!

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!!!

A Hidden Gem

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.

6 Nights at Xanadu, La Libertad El Salvador

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!!

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.

About the host

I am still in travel agency business . I have been a travel agent for the last 25 years, I have traveled many parts of the world, and the most I have enjoyed is the ocean and warm places, and that is why I decided to find a place to live and keep enjoying life at the beach.

Why they chose this property

I could not find a more charming and romantic place than a cove in this small and very private beach perfect for a romance and relaxation, where you can have the beach all for yourself and do whatever you please.away from the crowd.or get romantic in a salt water pool at anytime at night or wait for the sea turtles to show up for nesting. after a candlelight al fresco dinner at your own balcony. You are welcome to cook your own meals or arragements can be made for a cook or chef if you are in the mood for an exotic Thai food.or an Spiritual yoga class.

What makes this property unique

This is a walled and gated property with free parking, air conditioner, mini frige, hot water, ceiling fans, wireless internet and WiFi . . Airport transfers available & laundry service upon request. Massage, surf lessons and tours also available.
we change linens every 4 days, also bath and hand towels.
we serve full breakfast,right on front of the ocean (amazing view) including fresh fruit,juice and coffee too, daily at any time you wish. Or we can also cook for you , for any special occasion on the area of your choice, (the beach, your own terrace, or at the infinity pool area al fresco area or under the palapa.)in a romantic settings. (at night is very impressive and festive atmosphere).
Impossible not to fall in love.
