We love our stay with At Tia Tita. Chico and Ilda make us feel at home. The space is luxurious and spacious. We have a lot of room and space to enjoy the sun and the beach. The whole area was clean and well-fed. There were a lot of amenities that helped us cook ourselves or clean the clothes we wanted. The pool is clean. The patio is excellent. To be honest, it's one of the best places I've rented in many years. I recommend.

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!

This place was absolutely amazing. We had a group of seven and there was more than enough room for everyone to relax comfortably. The staff was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make us feel at home throughout our stay. The food was authentic delicious and served three times a day. We were able to choose from a variety of menu items for each meal and every dish exceeded our expectations. On our final night,we enjoyed an incredible grilled tomahawk steak served with fresh salad, rice, grilled veggies, and fresh fruit, a perfect way to end our trip. The property was impeccably maintained despite the nightly storms. The groundskeeper was out every morning, cleaning up debris and keeping the yard looking beautiful. A special, thank you to Chico, who took us to several local attractions and gave us a wonderful opportunity to experience the area, his hospitality in local knowledge made our trip even more memorable. We truly had an unforgettable experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for exceptional hospitality, outstanding food, and a relaxing day.

I loved everything about this place. When you walk in you feel like you are entering a Spanish paradise. The pool is refreshing and not too hot or cold, the beach is right there and is something we watched the sunrise and sunset every day. El zonte is a great little town with a lot of activities. Next door there is a great outdoor bar to pick up drinks or a cocktail. Chico and Hilda are amazing hosts and make you feel very taken care of. The food she cooks is incredible. My wife and I got the massages, they arranged for them to set up on the Gazebo and it was excellent. The entire experience was incredible and I hope to come back. We have 3 young children, and they all had an amazing time.

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.

The house was very enjoyable, and the pool was clean and well maintained. The highlight of our stay was the easy beach access right through the backyard doors—it couldn’t have been more convenient.Carolina, and I believe his name was Mike, were both very kind and helpful throughout our stay. One thing to note: if you’d like the staff to cook, be sure to arrange it in advance. I didn’t do this ahead of time, so the cook wasn’t available. That said, there are plenty of restaurants within walking and driving distance, so finding meals was easy.The beach itself was great, especially for kids, and there are vendors nearby as well. Just be mindful of some rocks near the shoreline.As expected, the showers have only cold water, and there’s no cable—but we didn’t mind at all since we spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful beach views, wildlife, birds, and even geckos. There’s also an outdoor shower with strong water pressure, which was perfect for rinsing off sand after the beach.Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

It was a great stay at Casa Tia Tita

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.

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.

Beautiful area!

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 experience!

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!!!

Amazing vacation

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.
