Located on the beach in the San Fernando, 800meters north of Santo Domingo and 1km south of Santa Cruz,, Xalli Hotel features a sun terrace and views of the lake. Free WiFi in communal areas and free private parking is available.

The room looked nice and was very comfortable (room no 8). It felt very peaceful and relaxed ... and Food was good: last night I tried the Salvadorian salpicon which turned out to be very tasty. The staff is also very friendly. I can certainly recommend staying at Xalli.

    We sort of stumbled upon this location last minute and what a wonderful surprise. The location was THE BEST ON THE ISLAND in our opinion. In the center of things, businesses very close by and steps from the beach!! Great food (Make sure to try the mango smoothie!) and the owner is so kind, always smiling! Big room, plenty for a family of 4, air conditioning worked well. Get ready for the wind at night but it's so much fun!

    Comfortable bed and a personal fan. Was not as hot as in other hostels on the island. Right next to the beach on the main road, but super peaceful and quiet.

    The location is good but be mindful of bus times. Friendly staff. Right across from the beach and there’s a motorbike rental spot next door.

    Great location right on the beach. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. We arrived by bicycle and had space to lock them up where they felt safe.

    Great location between Balgue and Santa Domingo. Right across the road from the water’s edge and good beach access. Kayaking in the river, Ojo de Agua, the petroglyphs at Finca Porvenir and kite surfing are all nearby. Good food though limited menu at a good price. Rooms were decent. Staff was friendly and helpful. Accepted cards. Tables, chairs and swings located above beach. I really loved the breakfasts.
