The place is undergoing renovation, not dirty but still need improvements. The room was spacious as it was the restroom. The food was great, no complaints, the service was excellent in every-way, the staff was very eager to assist in every-way possible. I would recommend this place and will return for sure, maybe next time they are complete with the renovations. Cheers..

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

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!
