Garten Hotel

The place was amazing and the service was awesome. I tried the sushi and I loved it! The guy at the bar was really friendly and kind. 100% recommended✨ I have to come back. Thank you for such a nice experience, everything was perfect! #GartenLover

If you're looking for an epic location in El Salvador, this hotel delivers in spades. Perched on a stunning ocean bluff with breathtaking views and direct beach access, it's the perfect spot for relaxation or adventure. The pool is simply beautiful—sparkling clean and surrounded by lush landscaping that adds to the serene vibe. The staff here are incredible, going above and beyond with warm smiles and helpful service. And the food? Divine. The breakfast and lunch menus are nothing short of a treat, with fresh, flavorful dishes that we’re still dreaming about. The security at the property is top-notch yet unobtrusive, making us feel completely at ease throughout our stay. And the beds? Absolute heaven. Plush, inviting, and honestly the best we've ever experienced—getting out of bed each morning was a challenge! Now for the quirks: while we loved nearly everything about this sanctuary, there were a couple of things to note. The plumbing system requires you to dispose of ALL toilet paper in a small garbage can, which might not be ideal for everyone. Also, the local roosters are early risers, and their 5 a.m. wake-up call is hard to miss. That said, the hotel can’t control nature, and it’s part of the authentic charm of the area. Despite these minor inconveniences, this hotel is a true sanctuary that captures the beauty of El Salvador. We’d return in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone who can embrace the local quirks!

The hotel was beautiful! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and organized!! The surfing was epic and the beach gorgeous. We will definitely return! The family villas were spacious and quiet, and we love sitting by the pool looking out at the beautiful waves. There are a great local restaurants surrounding the hotel and we went on some cool expeditions that the hotel organized. Highly recommend!

I visited the hotel yesterday and the experience was such a letdown. The hotel is very tiny not like the pictures make it seem, the staff if completely disorganized, I had booked a room the morning of the day I was checking in but they did not have my reservation and I was not on the list to enter the property. When I checked in to the hotel the larger sized man was completely unprofessional and behaved in a very unpleasant way. He treated us as a bother and did not explain the amenities of the hotel, when escorting us to the room no one bothered to assist my pregnant wife with her bags, no explaining on room features, broken ac, and I was not given a room key. The guy who escorted us to the room said he would bring the key, more than 20 mins passed and no key I went to pick it up and when I went to try the key it was the wrong one. I went to the office again and explained I was given the wrong key and just given a look of contempt and no offer of apology or explanation just looking for the key and given to me in a hurry. At this point I complained to the manager who happened to be there and she was courteous and apologized for that persons behavior. She offered my wife and I a complementary drink and tried to appease the situation. I really think the 5 star service is not there and a lot of customer service training is needed. There are other nearby hotels with far better service and similar amenities and attributes. Hopefully the could change this. Also they need more pool chairs they only had 3 when we were there which is not enough at all.

This was one of my most relaxing trips in a long time! My partner and I stayed for 5 nights over American Thanksgiving holiday in the Penthouse suite and it was perfect. Garten had everything you need starting with delicious breakfast, attentive staff on call via WhatsApp, private excursions to the volcano, lake, waterfalls (Jairo honestly made our trip!), and views for days! I highly recommend this boutique hotel that mixes relaxation and adventure with great food. While my partner surfed; I worked out at the gym, read by the infinity pool, and did yoga! Perfect place to connect as a couple and time for yourself as well!

First time to El Salvador , Garten Hotel is a must to stay at ! The views , the gorgeous room, the food , the cocktails , and all importantly the Manager Bo and staff go out of their way to ensure all aspects of the stay are 5 star ! I would also try the massage , one of the best I have had ! Thanks Garten will be back soon
