Tesoro Beach, La Herradura

This place is in need of a complete make-over. It used to be one of the best hotels in EL Salvador but now it belongs amongst the worst. The food was terrible, the staff lazy and the facilities were outdated (not to mention broken down). It is NOT worth going to anymore. 20 years or so ago I would have said different:(

We were on the last day of our mission work in el salvador and here is the top ten things we experienced at this hotel 1) It was completely empty.. think the shinning hotel 2) The ran out of food at an all inclusive 3) the beds were filled with bugs 4) the water did not function in at least 5 of our rooms 5) I personally had money stolen out of my wallet 6) we checked out of the hotel a night early and i still have not gotten my refund 7) the main pool was not open and no one told us 8) there were dead frogs all over the hotel 9) The staff was ok at best 10) The rooms stunk of cat pee and mold. do not stay here you are better off sleeping in a car!

It was a terrible experience. The rooms are not clean, and there is no warm water. For 100 per person, you can go somewhere better. Besides, the rooms have chinches, I was bitten alive.

It seems quite beautiful but then you look closer and see that everything is old, worn, torn, faded and not particularly clean. The beach is nice and the staff are friendly and as helpful as they can be considering the state of the place although there are no tours offered or any activities. In fact, no one really stays there. It is sad and overpriced for the area.

Well it used to be a great hotel, now the overall hotel is old, food is average is more like homemade food, the bartender doesnt know how to prepare drinks, the pool area has an old look that hasnt been taking good care off, the service isnt that bad. Also it generally seems empty very few people go to that hotel. Overall the hotel standard is very low for what it should be, you could get better hotels with that price in that same area. The only reason why you should go there if there isnt another place you can to to, if youy dont care being the only one there and if you like drinking only beers the whole day.

Great value! We went for a day-pass visit, for $35 per person, you got 1 meal, open bar, and snacks, use of cabana, pools, and amenities. It was mid-week so we had the beach and shade of palm trees almost all to ourselves. The staff was very attentive, understood some English. Beautiful colonial-style hotel, definitely where you imagine you want to be in the tropical pacific coast.

I was at the hotel for one week and the staff gives bad service also the food is nasty, bartender is not experience and when you ask for drinks that are not included in the package they just tell you we don't have it even if you want to pay for them they are very poor on service also very dirty the palce needs maintenance.

i love this place, the service is great, they follow you around refilling your drink all the time, meals are included, and all drinks are too.

i liked the beach,very clean and also security was al over the place.the beach clean and also the service around the bar and pool area was great.the food is very good looking foward to visit again..

I agree with others, this used to be a good hotel. Now, perhaps to lack of interest from the owner, it is getting worst. Food, room, service, you name it... everything is substandard
