El Xalli Hotel

Clean, great service and view! 20 minute uber drive to el Tunco and surf city, they offer transportation services as well . Food was delicious, would recommend and come back!

Bar was wonderful and all the staff were great!!!

We stayed at El Xalli Hotel as a family with two kids (9 and 11 years old) and very much enjoyed our stay. We loved the 2-bedroom unit we rented — it was spacious, comfortable, and the amenities were excellent. The complimentary Pilates and yoga classes were such a nice bonus, and the staff were incredibly friendly throughout our stay. We also felt very safe at the property. A few things to consider if traveling with kids: although the apartments have a kitchen, the hotel is somewhat located in a food desert. El Zonte is about a 20-minute walk away, where you can find a few basics like bread and fruit, but the nearest grocery store is about a 20-minute drive. The onsite food was good but somewhat limited. Breakfast included 3 options (one being a fruit bowl), plus a few additional items. Dinner options are only available on Fridays and Saturday. However you can order food from Michanti for a small delivery fee, which we did one night, and it was delicious and affordable. There are lots of good restaurants in El Zonte and Ubers were generally easy to get, though options became more limited after 7 pm. Once we thought we had to walk back to the hotel in the dark, but ended up finding an Uber driver after a 20 min wait. Overall, these are simply things to be aware of and did not take away from how much we enjoyed our stay. We would absolutely return!

This place exceeded my expectations. We stayed in their largest suite, which comfortably accommodated seven guests. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly, making our stay truly enjoyable. The pools, views, and breakfast were all exceptional. Everything was so perfect! I only stayed for two nights, but I wish I had extended my stay. I will definitely be returning.
