You’ll step off your flight at San Salvador Airport and spot your driver waiting—no scrambling or stress. Settle into a private car or van, chat with your local driver (maybe try some Spanish), and watch El Salvador’s countryside roll by on your way to Decameron Salinitas. Traffic can be unpredictable but you’ll have someone looking out for you—and that first quiet moment at the resort is worth it.
First thing I noticed stepping out of San Salvador Airport was the thick, humid air—felt like it wrapped around my shirt. There was my name on a sign, held up by a guy named Carlos who grinned when I waved (he even helped with my stubborn suitcase). The drive started slow, rolling past little roadside stalls and families waving at buses. I’d read about the traffic in La Libertad, but didn’t expect the way everyone just… waits. Carlos shrugged and told me it’s been worse since construction started. He had this playlist of old cumbia songs going, which made the stop-and-go feel less annoying somehow.
The road twisted through green hills, then flattened out near sugarcane fields that looked almost silver in the late sun. At one point we passed a truck selling sliced mangoes—Carlos said they’re best with chili powder but laughed when I tried to ask for some in Spanish (I think I butchered it). The car smelled faintly of coconut air freshener. We talked a bit about his family living near Sonsonate; he kept checking his phone for flight updates too, which made me realize how much easier this was than trying to figure out buses or taxis after a long flight.
I dozed off for a bit—the ride’s about three hours if traffic isn’t wild—and woke up just as we pulled into Royal Decameron Salinitas. The light was soft and everything felt quiet except for the distant sound of waves. Honestly, after all that airport noise, just sitting there in the calm was its own kind of relief. Not sure why that stuck with me so much.
