In short this is one of the best marinas in terms of amenities, ambience and price that we've seen in all of Central America!

Nestled deep in the tropical estuary, Marina Barillas provided a sanctuary for our sailboat of weary cruisers. The amenities from the boat side panga taxi to shore to the sparkling azure pools (of which there were three to choose from) were an unexpected treat. We opted to spend nearly a week working on our boat in the tranquil water while treating ourselves to mango smoothies and cooling soaks in the pools. For the less sedentary there's plenty to fill your days as well. We delighted in visiting the spider monkeys, soaking in the natural pools in the sand bar island and were amazed at the phenomenal work of the endangered hawksbill turtle sanctuary. These ingenious conservationists pay local fisherman to locate turtle nests. By purchasing the turtle eggs for conservation they're helping the endangered hawksbill while compensating the fisherman so they continue their livelihood. Instead of selling the eggs to the market they sell them to consecration!
Highly recommended destination for any boat in El Salvador.
