Our stay was (still is) great! The house is on the beach, garden and pool real joy, staff Hilda and Chico worth a gold, owner (s) helpful and very responsive. Planning already ‘26 stay here!
8 men all enjoyed our stay, the place is awesome, great location, and the on site staff was great including the driver and the cook. The food was actually top notch, we had breakfast and dinner every day at the house and the food was better than the nearby restaurants. Highly reccomend.
Truly an incredible place to stay!! The location is amazing - right on the ocean with some great waves and beach! The house is beautiful and well put together. Chico and his family are incredible and made us feel so welcomed! The food is amazing!!! Ana was also great to deal with. Highly recommend.
excellent place to scape - Anna and John were always available and quick to respond any questions I had prior to my arrival. once at the property Chico and Hilda took care of us during our stay and always attentive checking on us if we needed anything. Being able to work with Hilda to prepared our meals was a plus for us, there was no meal that we were not blown away. For sure we are coming back.
Overall, the whole family had an amazing stay at Casa Tia Tita. Chico and Caro, the ones who maintain the property, were always very attentive. The house had plenty of room and the set up seems to be perfect. The different tables and areas were perfect for our family to be together in the mornings and the evening gatherings. The restaurant nearby offers more than plenty of variety and does taste great and seafood fresh.
The one down fall, if you’re a morning person, is the restaurants and coffee shops don’t open till 8/9am. So I’d suggest, pack some coffee to enjoy while hearing the waves crash on shore, because it is one beautiful view. Thank you Anna, Chico, and Caro for having us and making us feel welcomed.
This was our first time in El Salvador and it was a wonderful experience! Chico was a great host on the property making sure our experience was great. And his wife Hilda did a fantastic job introducing us to some delicious El Salvadorian meals! We loved it and will be back again!
We loved staying at Casa Tia Tita so much in 2021 we went back again in 2022. It is such a wonderful place to stay and Anna, Chico and Hilda make it such a great and memorable experience. The accommodations, the food, the culture, the friendship - it’s all great and we will definitely be back again!
Casa Tia Tita’s location and grounds are fabulous. The bedrooms are cozy. Not much of a kitchen but the staff can cook for you. We found everyone to be extremely accommodating and the location couldn’t be beat. We leave ok forward to a future stay hopefully soon. Thank you Anna!

Great experience!
What a great place to relax and unwind. The owners have made this a little slice of paradise. Our family with kid's ages ranging from 4-18 all loved it. The beach was a few steps out the back gate and the property was well maintained and clean. The owners were very flexible and great to work with. I highly recommend!!

You Can't Do Better Than This!
If you are considering a beach stay in El Salvador, do it. and this is the place to choose. Casa Tia Tita is wonderful! The beach location is beautiful! The staff is extremely helpful and hard working, the grounds are clean and well kept, the house is spotless, and the cooking is outstanding! My wife tried out most every hammock on the property, and we so enjoyed watching the beach activity from the upper floor of the gazebo. The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking. We are already planning our return trip. Thank you Godon and Ana for opening your house to us.

A new place to getaway from it all.
A week ago today my husband and I experienced El Zonte beach for the first time while staying at Casa Tia Tita. Not only was the beach beautiful with its black lava rocks and black sparkling sand but the sound of the waves crashing in the background as we were laying in bed was a perfect lullaby to put anyone to sleep. Although it was rainy season it only rained at night and the days were perfect for sun and surf. Casa Tia Tita is so inviting as soon as you drive in the lush gardens and outdoor living space was perfect for laying around with a good book. The house is laid out simply for a group of more than 2, but the outdoors is where you want to be hanging out. At the pool side or the double deck palapa with hammocks galore, perfect ocean view in your backyard. Will be back for a longer stay next time.

Wonderful Vacation
Our second time at Tia Tita and still can't believe that it was even better than the first! Gordon's continuous improvements are noticeable and appreciated. The staff keeps the area extremely clean and tidy and even though we speak very little Spanish, we always seem to communicate. The food is wonderful! We came with a spreadsheet of meal requests by day and in Spanish (cut and paste off letter sent by Gordon) and Rosi was very happy and made her shopping list off of it. Do go on a shopping trip with the cook. The fish pier and the open air market are great experiences! The amenities, pool, ocean, beach, safe location, and available activities make for one of the most relaxing vacations you can have. Thank you Gordon and Ana! We will be back again.
We had a great time at this house, the staff (Hilda and Chico) were very humble and caring. There are a few things I would like to point out because they are important to me. There's no hot water, there's only AC in the rooms, and they will turn if up if you leave the house.
The house gets really hot in the common areas, so the relief of the AC in the rooms is very much needed. Also, there are no ensuites, both bathrooms are in the hallway where there's no AC. One of the bedrooms bed (the coldest bedroom) was very hard. Also, previous reviews mentioned a cook, but we didn't have one. However, Hilda cooked for us a few times during the stay, which was very nice of her.
Overall it was a great stay and the location was beautiful. Would I stay here again? Yes, I would, I just wouldn't bring my mother, who is an elderly person.

Amazing family and friend vacation!
Casa Tia Tita is a wonderful place! The pictures don't come close to the real beauty. The house and grounds were so well maintained and we could not have been more comfortable. The staff went above and beyond any expectations I would ever have.
I have never been to El Salvador and would absolutely recommend this house to anyone I know. The bedrooms are nicely air conditioned and comfortable, and an added bonus for those with small children, the rooms were very quiet for sleeping children. Before we arrived, we worked out for a crib to be delivered, which made packing that much easier.
We went for a week with two children 3 and under. They both had such a great time, were incredibly well-fed and well cared for. The property is large but closed off, so we never worried about the kids running into the street. There was a nanny available to us whenever we needed, which was a huge added bonus.
The food we were served was some of the most incredible food I have ever tasted and they also went out of their way to cook specific things for the kids.
The beach, right out back, was incredible and watching the waves roll in from the gazebo was soothing and peaceful. Hammocks are abundant on this property, even the kids loved them!
Casa Tia Tita and the staff are amazing!
The experience at this house was amazing, even from before we arrived. Anna communicated with me clearly and timely ahead of time to ensure I understood the options of the stay (airport pickup, groceries, meals by Hilda, massages, etc).
From the moment we arrived at the airport, we were greeted by Chico for transport to the house. Once we arrived, we met Hilda (his wife) and Daniel (his son) who live onsite and are there to ensure your stay is the very best possible. And...they DID NOT disappoint! They were so sweet and accommodating. After a run to the grocery, Hilda cooked every meal during our stay. They also cleaned every day and we had so much fun with 4 year old Daniel. Chico also took meticulous notes of the extras we needed during the week (mostly beer) so we could settle up with him before we left. The pool, the hammocks, the views, the beach, the food - all of it was truly a one of a kind experience. There is also a little local bar a few properties down which was fun to visit. This is a place you go to relax and disconnect (even though the wifi works perfectly)! On the last night, Chico took us to the local papusa lady and they were delicious! This stay was better than many of the "all inclusives" we have stayed at in the past. Hope to come back soon - thank you to Anna, Chico, Hilda, and Daniel!!!
This property met our expectations and more. You cannot beat the location. The grounds were kept beautifully and the house was extremely clean. The grounds keeper and guard, Chico and his family were very helpful and always friendly. We cannot wait for our next trip to El Salvador and to stay at Tia Titas again!
We had an amazing time at Casa Tia Tita. The staff is truly phenomenal. Chico and Hilda and their son, Daniel, live on site and are available to help with any and everything. Chico is an excellent resource and guide on recommending and escorting you on excursions to volcanoes and waterfalls.
Erica and Carolina are the best cooks! We enjoyed 3 amazing meals each day, and were honestly disappointed the few times we ate out because the food at the house was so much better.
The location and grounds are fantastic. Morning coffee in the gazebo watching the surfers is the best way to start a day, pool is perfect temperature and clean, lots of space to play frisbee and soccer. The beach right out front is perfect for playing, surfing, and jumping waves. Zonte is a friendly, safe town.
Some people may care that beds are a little hard and there is no hot water, but end of the day showers were still very warm because the sun had heated the water all day. House is clean and well maintained. These things were insignificant to me, as the staff and grounds more than make up for anything else.
My family of 6 is just returning from our week vacation at Casa Tia Tita and already planning our next opportunity to return. It was a wonderful experience. The house was beautiful located on a black sand beach. So charming with fabulous outdoor space. The pool is beautiful and refreshing. The gazebo/rancho was perfect for morning coffee or a evening cocktail watching the surfers and swimmers. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, and roomy.
There are no words to say how much we appreciated and how impressed we were by Chico, Hilda and Erika. Chico was our guide and driver for the week and his wife, Hilda, and Erika created an immaculate and pleasant home and prepared all of our meals. The meals were 5 star and on two occasion they served us a seafood appetizer on the beach!! It was out of this world! Chico escorted us to the super market, the volcano hike (grueling but satisfying), the fish market (highly recommend), shopping in El Tunco, and to/from airport. I would highly suggest not renting a car and letting Chico be your driver. It was so much easier and their fees are so reasonable. Chico helped us arrange surf lessons and invited us down the beach to watch a turtle release. How amazing! Our daughters enjoyed befriending Chico and Hilda’s son, Daniel; playing ball and swimming together.
We took our trip to celebrate our middle daughters high school graduation and cannot say thank you enough for the wonderful family memories you helped us to create. Thank you Jon, Ana, Chico, Hilda, Erika , and Daniel! Hope you have Happy Holidays in El Salvador and we will definitely be back very soon!
Adios for now!
The amazing staff and location of this house makes it a incredible place to call home base in El Salvador. I would highly recommend having the staff provide you with tasty meals and watching the amazing sunsets seen from the cabana. We have stayed here several times already and will be coming back.
I did not stay at this property personally, I had booked it for my boss and some colleagues on a work trip. House was fine from what I've been told, other than no hot water (which wasn't listed). House was older compared to the pictures but kept clean. Check in process and communication with host was good
