Izalco Hotel & Beach Resort

San Luis Talpa

The property is big however it is unkept. The entrance seems abandoned. The receptionist was unfriendly and despite we asked for consideration to access our room half hour before since we got off a long night flight she refused and delivered the keys to us 15 minutes after check in. Let me say that we left the property at 5am. I must say that the waiters had excellent customer service and saved the experience here.

This place is ON, not near the beach like other resorts.

Really great staff and great food and drinks.  Nothing fancy, but still delicious. Cheap for me from the USA.

They offer an inexpensive massage in a private area near the beach waves.  It was awesome.

Some of the original rooms near the front are older and are in need of an upgrade/remodel as you have read with other reviews). Hope they close for a month in the off season to fix/remodel those rooms. They need it..  The only reason why the resort did not get a 5. 

Lots of Salvadoran families (many living in the USA or with family living in the USA) stay here to have fun and relax...and for good reason.  Great family fun, music is on, but not blaringly loud.  

The other resorts near La Libertad?  Huge concrete jungles with lots of rooms, making for extra hot, crowded (and noisy) conditions.  If you like that sort of thing, don't come to Club Izalco. :-)   Alao, If you are looking for A  "Cancun" style mega-resort, don't come here.

Plus: the waves are "medium" here.  Surfers will of course already know the best places to go near El Tunco and La Libertad for world famous ginormous waves.  

Beautiful birds fly freely around the many coconut trees for shade. but don't worry, your table is covered in shade to protect you from falling coconuts and from the mid-day sun.  There is lots of shade

Bonus: The campfire in the beach after dark was very cool, relaxing.  

More Bonus:, Don't underestimate the comfort of a great hammock.  They await you here where you can listen to the waves all day and evening.  When I used to come here way back when they were smaller; I paid for my room, but I used to sleep overnight in one of their hammocks closer to the beach.  Heavenly!  I should have asked them to keep a hammock out for me this time.  They probably would have.

I love this place.

Terrible place, place looks destroyed and dirty. Rooms have minimal to no privacy, even the lobby is in a very bad state. Price is way to high for what is offered. There are places 10x better at this price... Not a good place. Not recommended at all.

No privacy, destroyed

Good Customer service Yessica's front desk & Walter's waiter was very friendly and helpful. Food is good, fruit needs to be a little fresher. BUT the hotel is unfinished, the front bathrooms are horrible extreme odors floors undone. The promises are not gated, The beach area is clean, my sheets smell clean!

Maintenance is the key!

Great food great service. I would not stay here requires a looooot of maintenance. We spent the day and they have different packages that you can choose from is right in front of the beach and on weeks days get less busy.

Different areas need lots of maintenance from painting to reconstruction and overall making it look pretty.

Needs maintenance

Stay away from this place for your own safety.
The premises are not gated.
Unfinished  building front.
Good luck finding the front desk.
No security guards. Any one from street or beach can access the parking lot or rooms.
Pool service is horrible. Although the employees do their best but also have other duties more likely
the place is understaffed. 
No video cameras on premises.
I stayed in room 3 next to front desk .
I left my Teva sandals on the patio right outside my room and got stolen.
I reported to front desk and all the attendant did was to ask employees if they have seen them. That was it not even an apology.
There is crew that comes and washe the tables on patios, clean  pool areas around 6:00 am. 
They took my sandals.
At night animals crawl into your room due to a 2 inch gap at the bottom of room door.
The place is inhabited by geckos on the walls and make a lot noise all night. Hard to sleep .
My 2 stars are for the service people that help Us. 
They tried to do their best.  
Fyi, the owner lives in one of the rooms in the property. For your safety stay away from this pkace



Stay away. 

The hotel is big and the waiter than help us was very friendly (Daniel) and willing to help, the food was excellent however the place seemed to be unfinished, the restrooms were in very bad conditions. The swimming pools were dirty and there is no security near the beach, people who sell things at the beach entered the hotel and disturb or interrumpt a lot. There is a lot of things that needed maintenance, it s a pity because this experience could have been a lot better

A lot to improve

staffing nice specially waiters. all fine however toilet wasnt working for 1 day IMAGINE THAT. and they removed towels so we had no towels for 2nd night since were not replaced so we reached manager since our battery charger was not on the room and we are sure we left that inside room but even though it means NOTHING the fact that the manager didnt even try to empathize would make this experience from being almost good to be really dissapointed.. not so cool izalco hotel
