Jon, from Florida, USA (Tripadvisor review)
Hey all, just got back from an epic week in El Salvador! Tyler is an excellent host and surf/adventure guide. He kept us in the waves every day and still somehow still had the time and energy to take us places we never would have found on our own. We traveled around, met new people and truly experienced all that El Salvador has to offer. The house we stayed in was super clean, well-stocked and had air conditioned bedrooms (major plus). Located in a secure gated community the pool and ocean view simply puts this place over the top! My crew is all mid to late 40’s so don’t think this kind of trip is just for the kiddos. Tyler catered our experience to meet our needs. Hot tip, don’t miss “mountain day” which includes hot springs, colonial towns and spectacular views of a coffee plantation from a top the zip line course. My group is still talking about that day. My recommendation is book a trip now before this place gets discovered. Right now it’s still a secret.

I went to El Salvador in November 2014 for a retreat with Tyler in Villa del Olas. Booking was easy and you could choose from several different levels of fun. I went all in for surf, yoga, massage, and fun side trips including a hike and waterfall jump. Villa del Olas was beautiful and a great place to relax. The house was huge and with a beautiful ocean-side view to wake up to! There were hammocks poolside and up on the yoga deck. It was an easy hike down the coast to the saltwater pools. The surf down there was amazing. Tyler had an entire quiver of boards for us to use, and chose one appropriately for my level and the breaks we were surfing. I caught plenty of waves down there! And it was great to not have to get in and out of a wet-suit all the time. Lastly the food was absolutely delicious. The ceviche, the pupusas, the plantains, the papayas…and the snacks in the house were all healthy and amazing. Anyways I would definitely go again and I’ve already recommended this trip to other friends as well!
