Paraiso Escondido Hotel Villas & Resort

Reading some reviews comparing this to other more popular destinations and then saying it was better…. I’m now a believer. The value of this property, the accommodations, the pristine powder black beach, and the food are all world class. |Things to expect: beach is rough and will pull you but there’s a large shelf to walk and a few caves to explore. They put chairs down based on guests at low tide with umbrellas. It’s very exclusive and the views are dramatic worth getting into the water some to look back on the landscape. You cannot go to the beach at high tide. The saltwater natural pool lets you avoid waves so it’s very unique and worth a visit. |Lookout points and hammocks set at places on the resort, we particularly liked having a beer at the pergola area midway down to the beach. |The pool is constantly cleaned. And the infinity edge allows a great view down to the crashing waves, great during high tide times or at night.|The room: Large, your own private space with plenty of places to lounge and see. Deck is amazing for slow times and personal space and the crashing of the ways is so calming.|One complaint mirrors an earlier review (but it’s so minor and helps them save energy) just remember when power is off to the villa phones won’t charge AC won’t cool your room. So after a day trip it takes a bit to be comfortable again.|Shower only got to warm water but if yours is cold just play around with the temperature settings and don’t slam it to all the way hot. Ours in the turquesa villa was warm in between the hot and cold and that was as hot as it got. |The food: gourmet, on par with higher end dining across the world. Was pleasantly surprised and very happy trying different items, don’t be afraid that it’s your only place to eat. Variety and takes more than 5 days to get bored of the food. Micheladas and pupusas exist but off menu. ||I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone, service is 5 star Rosa and Javier took care of us. Prices are great, you just sign a bill to your room for the tab for the day, very convenient. This country and resort need to be more talked about, and visited. Security is at the top armed and ready and we felt save the whole time, even in downtown San salvador. |Put this resort on your list! Consider it over the known all inclusive places, I enjoyed this experience much better.
