  Best stay in El Salvador

  We stayed with Jose and his wife for 3 days and it was the best experience we had so far in El Salvador. Location is really nice, breakfast super, everything is very clean and Jose and his wife are the best hosts. Highly recommended!!!

  Hostal Santa Clara may be, in and of itself, a tourist attraction of Apeneca.

  Jose Luis is a fantastic host. He has a big heart and an even bigger passion for history and hospitality. Staying here felt like visiting family. He is very knowledgeable and loves to educate his guests if they are willing to stick around and listen.  I saw El Salvador through a different set of eyes after my conversations with Jose Luis, and I am so grateful because it provided me with context that I didn't have before. His home looks something like from a fairy tail which overlooks nearby volcanoes and mountains. It's meticulously clean and the fragrance of artisanal soap wafts in the air from room to room.  Support beams and window frames made of wood outline his charming two story abode.  You're greeted every morning by Doris with a "Buen Dia" and deliciously made Salvadorian breakfast.  And his garden is wonderfully manicured and accesses an even larger garden which was once part of a tennis school. You can take a morning stroll without needing to leave the premises. Jose Luis has the means to provide transportation and tour services if he is available and should you need them.  I took advantage of this since it was incredibly convenient to do so.  He's a seemingly well connected guy and may know of others who can accommodate your travel needs if he is unable to do so.

  The WiFi on the second floor was not very strong despite having a strong connection.  His router must be on the first floor because I had the best connection for gaming purposes when I was there.

  Fantastic!

  Breakfast was delicious always. The location was on the outskirts of Apaneca.

  Awesome B&B with great innkeepers!

  Santa Clara B&B was our favorite place to stay during our trip in El Salvador. It’s a charming and CLEAN B&B. The hosts, Jose and Maritza, were wonderful which made our time in Apaneca truly special. As a bonus, Jose speaks English, French and Spanish which made our communication seamless. We obviously recommend to see the village of Apaneca, but also Laguna Verde!
