This hotel has EVERYTHING you need when you are away from home! From a super comfy bed, great fitness center, delicious food and AMAZING staff! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. From the bellboys, housekeeping, security and The Garden Court staff. The concierge, Andrew, is so friendly and professional. Thank you Barceló San Salvador!

I really en joyed my stay here. I got to side time in the hot tub pool and sauna which was nice. There is 24 hr room service but the food was blah and no pupusas. The is breakfast which is buffet style but there are plenty of restaurants close by I would recommend. The location is great there is a mall across the street. A small plaza next door where i was able to get my nails done. The room was nice the TV was malfunctioning but everything else was great. Robes in the room bed was comfortable.
