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

Our stay at La Cocatera was a highlight of our trip to El Salvador. after 5 days traveling through the coffee growing areas and staying in Coatequepe we booked 2 nights at La Cocatea and couldn't have been happier. 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

My husband and I are seasoned travelers. We stay at all manner of places from the $10 a night hostels to the all inclusive places like Cocotera. On this particular trip we decided to make our stay in El Salvador more of a holiday than our usual travel excursions. Based on our readings about the hotel we were not too... More

My boyfriend and I were looking for an untouched place in Central America and we found it at La Cocotera. We've been to Costa Rica and Nicaragua, but this little paradise in El Salvador beats them all. First off, the location is amazing because on one side of the property is the ocean and when you walk to the other... More

It's hard to know how to review La Cocotera. Firstly, it is in the middle of nowhere. That is mostly a good thing, other than the long bone-jarring drive along the dirt roads to get here. The facility itself is beautiful and peaceful. We had a bungalow on the beach which was simply splendid. We were also the only people... More
