Food is expensive compared to other places within the area.

2/10 Poor

I liked the direct access to the beach. I disliked the cleanliness and the amount of drunk people roaming around the rooms. We even had a drunk open our door by “accident”, while we were in the room.

The place looks nice but there was no bed sheets on the bed just the mattress protector and a spread sheet we couldn’t covered up. The pool was dirty and they don’t run the pool for a long period of time unfortunately we couldn’t used the pool. No toilet paper in the property bathrooms except the rooms.

The place is undergoing renovation, not dirty but still need improvements. The room was spacious as it was the restroom. The food was great, no complaints, the service was excellent in every-way, the staff was very eager to assist in every-way possible. I would recommend this place and will return for sure, maybe next time they are complete with the renovations. Cheers..

Overall the property was nice. If you do stay there make sure to take a mosquito repellent. I think if the property had a few mosquito zappers it would really help
Gabriel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place is great, the place is beautiful, great rooms, very beautiful view, great customer service. Except the mosquitos was the only problem in the experience, too much mosquitos in the rooms and would always catch us while sleeping. I think they should do something about it with a mosquito trap. That was the only complaint but other than that the experience was great.

A mí persepcion el hotel está descuidado, la limpieza dejó mucho que desear y el aire acondicionado de un cuarto no funcionaba y no pudieron resolver el problema, ni siquiera lo intentaron. El agua de la piscina estaba sucia, puede que mi experiencia haya si así debido que fue día festivo aunque hay cosas que no son aceptables.

Disappointing Stay at Hotel Sambo Mambo

Our recent stay at Hotel Sambo Mambo in El Cuco, El Salvador, was a major disappointment. We booked a room for four, but upon arrival, we found that the restroom in our room was not working. Since the hotel was fully booked, we were forced to use the public restrooms, which were dirty and poorly maintained. The food was overpriced for the quality provided, adding to the frustration. Furthermore, the air conditioning in the room was inadequate, leaving us uncomfortable throughout our stay. Despite bringing these issues to the staff’s attention, no resolution was offered, making the experience even more frustrating. We cannot recommend this hotel unless substantial improvements are made. Let me know if you need any further edits!

La propiedad está bien talvez necesitan tener a una persona más capacitada que sea capaz de resolver las situaciones que se dan aveces en lo administrativo referente alas reservas pero el resto del personal es muy amable siempre le preguntan a uno que si necesita algo
