5Scenic and historic adventures
Booked a last minute tour guide to explore some of El Salvador’s archeological places that I’ve been wanting to explore for some time. Went with my boyfriend to the tour since it was his first time visiting town and I wanted to show him around. We were the only ones on the tour for this booking so it felt nice and personalized. It was a long day but it was fun and definitely worth it. Gerson was our guide and Ivan was our driver. The stops were lovely and exciting with great scenery and views along the way too. Very nice, friendly and knowledgeable people. Definitely recommend.
3Break away...
We stayed in a two bedroomed chalet (516) , over looking the pond. It was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed. We played tennis and the children loved the play areas, which was a lot of fun. We did find the reception staff a little rude, but at the end of the day, they have had enough of rude customers!
