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!

The staff was friendly and nice. We were part of a large group that had communicated to the resort that we were coming. They had months in advance notice. When I showed up to the hotel I was told I had a balance for the two rooms. Fortunately I had the itemized receipt and was able to show them what I had paid. We ordered food and it took well over an hour and a half to get our food. It was absolutely delicious but everyone was upset at how long it was taking. People waited over two hours for food. The rooms are small. The A/C was not working and they were only to place a fan in the room. There aren’t many outlets so bring an extension cord. The overall look of the hotel is adorable. The beach was great.
