Using descriptive research method, the study involved 30 tourists who were purposely selected. The researchers utilized a 5-point scale to determine the tourists’ level of satisfaction. Findings revealed that Sol y Viento got the weighted mean score  of 4.06 which was highly satisfactory;  its level of compliance was excellent; and it had a potential to become a DOT accredited recreational tourist destination.
