Our experience here was wonderful. The house is not in the town yet it is 5 minutes from Juayua or a smaller roadside town with delicious fresh tortillas and cheese. The property is nestled back away from the main road so when you are on the porch you can see or her much besides the birds (there are faint sounds of passing bigger trucks or motos). If you are not familiar with the area, this is in the mountains and our view was of the trees and a volcano in the distance. It was pretty cool air during our stay in early May. There is an avocado tree by the house and we gathered the fallen fruit to eat. There is a organic farm, Mano Benefico, with a store where we bought fresh blackberries, herbs, lettuce and more. Our host had olive oil, salt & pepper, sugar, and some dried herbs for us to cook with along with towels, fresh soap and extra blankets. He provided candles and incense which we used since the small primitive house was a bit musty. He also had a new 5 gallon jug of filtered water which we appreciated. It is definitely a rustic cabin like experience with spiders and ants and such, nothing out of the ordinary though. The family that cares for the house was one of the best parts of being there for us. Mario acted as our guide and was happy to take us to the hikes and pick us up (he offered to come along if we wanted). His wife and family were gracious sweet people who offered us whatever we needed to help us feel comfortable (even asked if we wanted to have meals prepared by them although she said it was not a usual service). We had dinner at their house our last night and got a chance to learn about life in the area. What a treasure of an experience!! We left the family a tip because of all of the services they provided. They are growing organic food and livestock but a very small operation right now. We would definitely come back!

Amazing place with a nice authentic feel. The home is decorated in great rustic style with all the requirements for your stay, including a beautiful kitchen. The property has all kinds of amazing plants everywhere you look, and a great caretaker by the name of Mario and his family live in a seperate home on the property far enough so you have your privacy of course but always at your service if you need anything. There is a small town just up the street so you can visit and get whatever you need or eat some amazing pupusas. If you want a home base to explore the interior of El Salvador I highly recommend staying here.

We really enjoyed our stay at La Siguanaba. Betty and Mario were always at hand to help but also respected our privacy. Mario even cycled in front of our car to show us the way to the doctor's when my mother had an ear infection. Betty cooked a really delicious meal for us on a stone plate over the barbeque. They invited us to look around their little farm and it was really touching to see how enthusiastic and proud they were. A very welcoming, quiet and safe place to stay.

Súper bonita, cerca del parque que es donde el están las atracciones y restaurantes, la casa es tan buena como un hotel.

Excellent host! Beautiful house! Everything about this listing is great. The house is very clean, bed sheets are extra comfortable, bathrooms are fully equipped. Would definitely stay here again.

Hermosa casa, limpia y ordenada, la casa queda en una buena ubicación con fácil acceso al parque centrsl, cafés, farmacias, etc. agradecia con los detalles de bienvenida de la anfitrona. Se los recomiendo.

Me encanto la casa, súper linda limpia y tal cual se mira en las fotos.

Mercedes's place was in a fantastic location, easy to find, and quiet (given its central location). Mercedes was amazing with communication, asking if everything was alright and promptly responding to questions. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with clean and well-supplied bathrooms for everyone. It was a pleasant place to hang-out. It was such an easy stay-- would highly recommend for a group of 6+ visiting Ataco.

Awesome place and an amazing host! Highly recommended!!

Linda casita, cómoda, acogedora, privada, y con excelente ubicación. La pasamos excelente!

La Señora Mercedes tiene una casita muy acogedora y muy bien ubicada con todo lo necesario para disfrutar una escapadita en Ataco siempre haciendote sentir como que estas en tu propia casa por lo agradable y cómodo del lugar y por lo amable y hospitalaria que es ella como anfitriona. Definitivamente un lugar super recomendado y por supuesto que tocará repetir.

La ubicación es excelente y segura, la playa es espectacular y Don Marcos está muy atento a resolver cualquier detalle que se presente. Una excelente opción para estar cómodo y disfrutar en famila y amigos

El lugar es muy bonito y adecuado para un tiempo de descanso! La atención de parte de Marcos, quien cuida el lugar, fue excelente!

everything was amazing , I totally recommend this place

Muy buen lugar para la familia.

La cabaña es muy bonita, el clima de montaña muy fresco, la atención de Gustavo fue muy buena desde el momento de la reservación y durante la estadía, definitivamente regresariamos, recomendado!

Muy bonita cabaña. Fue una estadía bastante agradable. Cuenta con todo lo que es ofrecido. Limpia, segura, bien equipada y en un ambiente de mucha tranquilidad. Don Gustavo estuvo muy atento y el cuidador don Santos fue muy amable y de mucha ayuda. Con seguridad estaremos regresando con la familia. Recomendada totalmente y solo considerar lo que se menciona del acceso de la calle de tierra. Pero vale la pena!!

Lugar hermoso y tranquilo. personal muy simpático siempre están acá para consejo o para nuestro deseo. Recomendó para descansar. Es perfecto para las familias. El mar está seguro y lindo

The space is very nice, well taken care of and clean. But watch out for the owner-- she'll try to grab your money every moment she can. We booked 2 nights on AirBnB and almost no problems. The water in the bathroom wasn't working, but the owner just said to turn on the main valve. Still no water. The next day she finally had to call the plumber who fixed the water. It was fine-- it happens. No big deal. When we asked to stay for a few nights extra, the owner said no problem but we might have to switch rooms (not a problem on our end). The next day she tells us the rooms will cost more, and if we were to eat dinner there, there's an extra cover charge. We asked her why she didn't tell us earlier -- she said there was a misunderstanding. (There was no misunderstanding -- I'm fluent in English and my boyfriend is fluent in Spanish). My finance and I go to our room to discuss. When we come out a few minutes later to say we'll accept the extra charge and that we would like to continue our stay, she says the room is no longer available, was booked and paid for by others. She never asked us to pay in advance when we asked for the room (we absolutely would have). Instead, she found other guests who would pay more and essentially forced us to leave the property.

Great location, great views, very accommodating hosts, and great hospitality! Definitely somewhere to stay if you're visiting El Salvador!

Finca Santa María is the ideal place to get away from the stresses of life! If you are looking to cut off from technology and reconnect with nature and people, this is the place! The looks and sounds of nature were amazing! My favorite time of day was waking up with the sounds of birds and going outside, under the Ámate tree to read. Don Chepe and his family are lovely! Anything you need, they will provide as long as they are able.

Diego, nuestro anfitrión estuvo muy accesible para comunicarse y nos proveyó muy buena información incluyendo un buen mapa para llegar. Fue una estadía muy placentera en La Finca Santa María la cual repetiríamos con mucho gusto en el futuro. La casa estuvo de acuerdo a las expectativas con cuartos y cocina adecuadamente equipados con todo lo necesario para pasar un tiempo relajado en el campo. Don Chepe (el que atiende la casa) se portó de maravilla como un gran ser humano con gran atención y dedicación a nuestra estadía en todos sus detalles. El lugar esta súper seguro y está cerca de Juayua y otros pueblos como Apaneca y Ataco. Definitivamente recomiendo alojarse en Finca Santa Maria. Diego our host was very accessible and provided great information, including a map to the place. We had a very pleasant stay at Finca Santa Maria and we definitely would stay there again in the future. The house was according to expectations with rooms and kitchen well equipped with all the necessary to allow spending a great time in the country side. Don Chepe (the house care taker) was great with us attending to every detail of our stay. The place was safe and close to Juayua and other towns such Apaneca and Ataco. I definitely recommend staying at Finca Santa Maria.

Excellent location. Nicely equipped, made my stay easy and enjoyable. Diego is a very kind host.

Un lugar apartado y extremadamente tranquilo. La ausencia de Internet y T.V. fueron en realidad una ventaja. Viajamos en familia y eso nos permitió hacer juegos de mesa y divertirnos como no lo hacíamos desde hacia tiempo ya. Por otra parte, no está tampoco alejado de la civilización. 5 minutos y teníamos un supermercado y restaurantes a disposición... Muy bueno!

Beautiful place, highly recommended. Hermoso y muy recomendable lugar

I came with my family and some friends and we had a blast! Very beautiful and communication with Diego was perfect, would definitely recommend!

Recomendado si queres desconectarte y relajarte.

We are so pleased with the Playa Metalio Beach house! Very spacious home, clean, just very well maintained. Simply a beautiful home next to the beach. More than anything, the care takers of the home, Señora Gladys y don Alejandro, are such wonderful people, we couldn't have asked for more and made our stay wonderful! Thank you for hosting your home, Beatriz.

Beautiful house! And the people taking care of it, Gladys and Alejandro are incredible! Thanks Beatriz, we will be definitely coming back!

My family loved the stay at Beatriz's home. It's Right on the waterfront and the home could not be any more family friendly. Plenty of room for everyone to relax out by the pools or to go out to the beach just a few steps away!

Muy bonito lugar, muy amplio, limpio y seguro. El lugar tal cual las fotos publicadas. Don Alejando y doña Gladys, muy atentos y estuvieron pendientes de alguna necesidad nuestra. La comunicación con Beatriz fue buena y oportuna. A futuro, el poder contar con WIFI y Cable(aunque sea el cableado para poder llevar TV) sería un plus. Fué una excelente experiencia, sin duda, regresaremos. Gracias a Beatriz por confiarnos su rancho de playa.

Mi familia y yo quedamos muy contentos con el servicio y la attencion que recibimos en la casa Metalio. La verdad que hermoso paisaje y siempre muy aciado. No tengo palabras para describir la attencion que recibimos y lo bien que nos sentimos ahi. De mi parte recommiendo este lugar. Y le doy muchas gracias a la senora Gladys y don Alejandro por toda la attencion y trato asi a nosotros y mi familia. No se van a repentir de hospedarse en cada Metalio

Place is beautiful, clean and big. Love the views of the beach. Very private quiete Location. There is no tvs or wifi. Some of the properties around the area not very nice. Overall I will rent it again.

Excelente Servicio! todo el lugar nos encanto. Y las personas encargadas son lo mejor!

Muy bonita casa de playa. Tiene todas las comodidades necesarias para no tener ninguna preocupación. Excelente distribución y con mucho espacio para una vacación familiar. Muy privada. El cuidandero es muy atento e hizo nuestra estadía aún más relajante. Juan estuvo siempre atento para dejar todo listo para nuestra estadía y nos hizo sentirnos bienvenidos. Recomendadísima para cualquier amante de la playa.

Muy bonito lugar, anfitrión atento y amable.

We loved the lake house in Coatepeque, beautiful views of the lake, the Santa Ana Volcano, Cerro Verde and Teopan Island. We rented the boat on Saturday for wakeboarding and towed tubing, had an amazing time. Loved the dock right in front of the house, the hammocks to rest, and the whole house is just marvelous. Comfortable beds, living room, equipped kitchen, PING PONG!! Camila gave perfect directions and was quick to answer if we had questions. We will definitely be back!

El lugar es perfecto para una estancia familiar. La vista y los jardines son hermosos, es fácil llegar y la gente que esta cuidando es muy amable. Creo que las fotos no le hacen justicia a las zonas verdes y llenas de una gran variedad dr flores. Esperamos repetir.

Excelente ubicacion, fue un descanso total y sinceramente recomendado para escaparse del estres.

La casa de Mónica es muy cómoda y acogedora, se siente muy conectado con la naturaleza, la vista al cerro El Pilón es increíble y mas aún de noche. Los encargados de la casa son muy atentos y respetuosos. Nosotros ya conocíamos la zona de Los Naranjos y sabíamos que hay pocas opciones para comer fuera, por lo que optamos llevar toda la comida que íbamos a necesitar. Definitivamente recomendamos el lugar.

La atención estuvo genial muy recomendado para familias completas.

Es un espacio para relajarse en familia o con amigos de confianza. Los jardines son amplios y el ambiente es muy fresco. Son muy atentos, serviciales resolviendo cualquier tipo de inconveniente. Los cuartos están conectados entre si, (el baño está dentro de uno) ideal para familia o amigos de confianza

Great place to stay in the mountains and out of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Es muy bonito y muy tranquilo

Magnificent, quiet property with views that could never get old, flowers and fruit trees, and a super quiet bedroom cabin. Most importantly Jose and Maria Luiza were the most gracious of hosts who bent over backwards to make our stay stress free and rewarding. This magical place is like food for the soul. Rest, relax, and enjoy the best Salvadorian hospitality imaginable.

Maria and her husband are the kindest people you could stay with! The cabin was clean and comfortable. Towel and a soap bar were included. The breakfast alone is something I would go back for! Maria and Elsa both cooked such amazing food. She also runs a small weekend restaurant on site that we decided to try out and was just as good as the breakfast! She and her husband helped up line up a guide to go swim at the waterfalls, which is a must! The guide was so nice and polite and although I don't speak much Spanish he was fun to have with us for the day seeing some sights! I would highly recommend this stay. It was very safe and some of the best people we met from El Salvador were here! Side note: our GPS couldn't find their home. My friend and I are not very good with Spanish so I would suggest communicating with Maria before you travel. Once they met us in the city Of Juayua it was very easy to navigate.

Maria Luiza's place is fantastic. It is well laid-out, has comfortable beds, good showers, and expansive grounds to take a nice stroll in the evening and relax underneath the stars. The views of the slopes of coffee hills are fantastic and bring in a lot of fresh air that's great for respiration. Unfortunately I was only able to stay one night, but I was nonetheless impressed by the location and its lovely hosts. The cabin is private, has its own restroom and shower, the place has towels (for shower and smaller), soap, and includes a huge television in the bedroom with a DVD player and a stack of largely action films. During our stay we chose to watch "Samba"--a French film--which is incredible and highly recommended. Overall our stay was pleasant, the breakfast was delicious and healthy, my only regret being that I didn't try the Brazilian cuisine cooked in the restaurant operated by Maria Luiza located centrally on the property---other reviewers say it is excellent. If you decide to stay here, chat with Maria Luiza and her husband and get to know them---they are great people. We instantly clicked with them and they bring a lot of positivity and charm to the entire experience of staying here for a short or long stay. I'm already thinking of how to get back here to spend some time writing among the tranquil beauty of the hills of Juayua.

Nuestra estancia en la cabaña fue perfecta, es el lugar ideal para descansar y olvidar el estrés, esta ubicada en una zona muy tranquila y fresca que lo hace aun mejor lugar para relajarse; la comida es deliciosa y los empleados del restaurante muy amables. Maria Luiza y José fueron los mejores anfitriones, desde nuestra llegada nos hicieron sentir como en casa, ambos son muy amables y los perros muy amigables y cariñosos también. Definitivamente regresaré pronto.

Maria was an excellent host that just happens to cook amazing Brazilian food! The cabin is located on top of a mountain, so the weather was much cooler than the city which is great! Maria and her husband went above and beyond their duty to make me feel extremely welcomed. I highly recommend staying here for a few days if you plan on visiting the nearby volcanoes! Lastly, don't miss the sunrise at this place, it's fantastic!

Honestly there is no much to say, everything was awesome, the places are nice and clean, the hosts were kind and made us feel like home. Just don't trow toilet paper in the toilet and you will be fine. gorgeous place to relax and be among nature.

Our stay at Maria Luiza's was absolutely wonderful. The little guest cabin is charming, comfortable, spotlessly clean and private. The property is very beautiful with spectacular views and lovely gardens, and Maria Luiza's kitchen serves up fabulous healthy Salvadoran and Brazilian meals. We are traveling with our dog and she was warmly welcomed and greatly enjoyed roaming the yard and playing with their adorable puppy. The property is just a short drive from coffee plantations, Juayua, Ataco, etc. But you may find yourself relaxing in the gardens, as we did. If you are lucky enough to stay at Maria Luisa's you will be treated like family and it will be the highlight of your trip to El Salvador.

divino lugar, wonderful place and people. these 2 know how to welcome guests and make them feel confortable with simple attentions. They drove us to diferent places, very safe. We had very nice chats and meals together. The view is incredible, the birds singing the flower blooming, the employees very nice, the dogs playfull and sweet... love Verde Amarelo!!!!
