I had a great stay at the Barceló Hotel in San Salvador. The hotel was very clean with super friendly staff members. The fitness center (which includes a weight room/cardio equipment, a steam room, a dry sauna room, and a hot tub) is the best that I have ever seen in a hotel. In addition, the hotel is in a great neighborhood and very safe. I would definitely stay at the Barcelo again.
