Overall the property was nice. If you do stay there make sure to take a mosquito repellent. I think if the property had a few mosquito zappers it would really help

The place is great, the place is beautiful, great rooms, very beautiful view, great customer service. Except the mosquitos was the only problem in the experience, too much mosquitos in the rooms and would always catch us while sleeping. I think they should do something about it with a mosquito trap. That was the only complaint but other than that the experience was great.

Disappointing Stay at Hotel Sambo Mambo

Our recent stay at Hotel Sambo Mambo in El Cuco, El Salvador, was a major disappointment. We booked a room for four, but upon arrival, we found that the restroom in our room was not working. Since the hotel was fully booked, we were forced to use the public restrooms, which were dirty and poorly maintained. The food was overpriced for the quality provided, adding to the frustration. Furthermore, the air conditioning in the room was inadequate, leaving us uncomfortable throughout our stay. Despite bringing these issues to the staff’s attention, no resolution was offered, making the experience even more frustrating. We cannot recommend this hotel unless substantial improvements are made. Let me know if you need any further edits!
