I stayed at La Cocotera for 6 nights and loved it. It is a beautiful property running from ocean beach to estuary. The rooms are huge, modern, lvoely and spotless. The food was uniformly excellent (and very plentiful). Nice pool and activities and perfect for just relaxing. Best of all, the staff is incredble - the friendliest, most attentive staff... More

A great escape. We really enjoyed ourselves at La Cocotera. The accomodations were superb. The attention to detail of a four star hotel (beautiful shower, air conditioning, clean, comfy, beautiful El Salvadorean art) combined with a casual indoor/outdoor living that you look for in a tropical environment. The property is also gorgeous. The "ranch", where meals are served, is a... More

The bungalows and property were stunning. The bungalow had v powerful air con, TV which was only for DVDs, comfy bed, safe but no phone and no wifi. The wait staff - Gabriel, Glendy and Sandy were fantastic even though they didn't speak English. Unfortunately we were not given a tour of the property so didn't know about some of... More

The staff, from Ricardo to Ivan, to Sandra and the Chef, Angelique every thing was terrific. Each day there were three... More

A friend and I spent a weekend here while traveling in El Salvador. You can't beat the location and the staff was the best. The resort is small and the attention to detail is big. The food is simple, local and delicious.... just like an ecoresort should be. The rooms are clean and spacious and the beds are really comfortable.... More

The hotel rooms are nice, some facing the ocean, very clean and new! The service from Ricardo, the manager is terrible, as if this were his first customer service job, the rest of the staff are friendly but somehow they seemed terrified to be friendly. Regarding the food... One day the choices for dinner were scrambled eggs or nicoise salad...... More

There are many reasons for an owner NOT to respond to reviews - including lack of time, energy, Trip Advisor's long list of rules that make responses limited, blatant lies by upset people, etc. However, when it comes to putting down the staff at La Cocotera without any reasons or examples, I take serious offense. The staff at La Cocotera... More

Spent a couple of nights here in February 2011. We slept well and enjoyed the views from the estuary side rooms. Super pool area, good food and attentive service. Great place to relax for a few days. More
