El Palmarcito Beach is 2.8 km from the guest house, while San Salvador Bicentennial Park is 50 km from the property. The nearest airport is El Salvador International, 51 km from Beach On The Rocks, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

The property is excellent , it’s an oasis set just far enough back from the foreshore to be totally peaceful, there’s only 4 rooms that surround the pool area , set on an acre of manicured gardens, Fanni & Omar are perfect hosts , nothing is too much trouble, so very helpful from the minute u arrive and can even arrange a private car to the airport for less than the tourists cars charge. Very secure , 1 minute walk and you are at the beach 10/10 experience, it’s better than their photos, & as a comparison, the places my 2 friends stayed at were dumps , 🙏🙏🙏

The units at the guest house are equipped with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. With a private bathroom equipped with a bath, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi, while some rooms are equipped with a terrace. All units will provide guests with a wardrobe and a coffee machine.

Super comfy bed, AC, very clean, amazing pool, fridge in room, TV with netflix, a very comfortable few nights stay! We enjoyed it. There is road noise but the white noise of AC cancelled this out, we slept well. We could leave our bags there on arrival and departure.

    I am happily returning to this hostel on my way back south. Bedside plugs, light and fan, well-equipped kitchen, very pleasant common area. Super friendly and knowledgeable owners: they know their shuttles, local and next-town buses and attractions and give very personalized help. Thumbs up.

    excellent value for money. Kike was a great host, very attentive. it felt more like an airbnb than a room because we could make full use of the facilities - great kitchen, pool, outdoor space, washing machine. very private in a gorgeous area.

    A really welcoming, friendly hostal where you can pick up the nice local vibe. Great location, walking distance from the beach. We loved the swimming pool to cool off in and the nice green garden around it. Our son had lots of fun in it. The owner and his crew make some amazing tacos as well. As for the facilities, there was Wi-Fi and air conditioning in the rooms.

    The hostel has a very good location and the rooms are also nice. Pool, outdoor shower and kitchen are available which makes it perfect to chill there as well. The staff and especially the owner Julio are super nice and very helpful and made our stay so special. He gave us plenty of recommendations for surfing and cool insider tips throughout El Salvador. We stayed longer than planned, as we didn’t want to leave this lovely place, so we can highly recommend this accommodation.
