Excellent hotel, food, and staff - 10/10

Excellent hotel and staff! We loved it so much that we extended our stay by 3 days. You've gotta try their Super Nativa burger. I don't know how they did it, but it's the best burger we've ever had 👊 Thanks for making us feel at home!

Almost on the beach. Lovely location. May benefit from better options for porter outlets in the room and a larger mirror, and cleaner vessels in the kitchen area. But overall fantastic stay.

The place is very good, it is not a 5star hotel, but a solid 3.5-4. If you are looking for a nice clean place, this place it is. I guess they cater to the surfing crowd, rooms are simple, bathroom needs some TLC and they need to add better towels, plus hot water. The restaurant is excellent, the food is good, fresh and plentiful. The staff is friendly and very attentive, they take good care of your needs. Overall, it is a good choice if you don't mind the stuff I mentioned above. Good budged place to spend the weekend.

Mega chill among nice people and good food!

So chill!! We were not thinking more than one night with no TV, no hot water, just the basics would work, but we loved it so much we booked a second night, (and would have stayed on if that were possible). And the free breakfast rocks, and they accommodated to my plant based diet without batting an eye! Everyone is super nice, two beaches right there, (two the left and right), nice local dining options (best vegan bowl at La Palma)...and we ended up going to bed early and waking up early, so nice!

Great place! Bad wifi

The hotel was very comfortable and we loved the location! The A/C worked wonderful. The restaurant was delicious and pricing was fair! Cons: The bathroom was clean but the water for the shower and the sink was salty water so we weren't able to clean properly. There was also a yoga studio above our head and they started early in the morning which caused some noise. The free wifi was very sparse and only worked part of one day.

Surf's Up at El Zonte's Hidden Gem! If you're looking for the perfect balance of location, tranquility, and a warm, family-run atmosphere, this place is it! Nestled in the heart of El Zonte, this surf-centric haven is where relaxation meets adventure. Now, let’s set some expectations: there’s no hot water (but who needs it in the tropical paradise of El Salvador?), and you won’t find TVs in the rooms (because, honestly, why would you want to miss out on the stunning views and good vibes?). There aren’t any closets or hangers either—just pack light and embrace the laid-back lifestyle! But here’s the kicker: the food at the onsite restaurant is amazing. And as a bonus, there’s a coffee roasting business right on the property, perfect for your morning caffeine fix. Plus, the on-site Spanish school, "Say El Zonte," is super cool and a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the local culture. And of course, because you’re in Bitcoin Beach, you can pay in Bitcoin if you want! Overall, this is a fantastic spot to stay in El Zonte and experience the magic of Bitcoin Beach. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to unwind, surf, soak in the local flavor and of course explore Bitcoin wave as well.

I booked this location as a last minute resort. I was not tremendously impressed with the room. It was very basic with just a bed and bathroom. No T.V. no refrigerator. The furniture was somewhat outdated included shower and toilet. There was no soap provided only some hand wash. The room had a foul smell almost as if it needed a dehumidifier. The location however is in a great area with very friendly locals. It is popular for surfers although I do not surf it was great watching those who did. The property has a restaurant that serves really good food. I was very pleased with the breakfast included in my stay. The ocean view is beautiful. The hotel is close to other well known areas. If you are someone who likes to surf this is the place for you.

I selected this place as an overnight stay before driving to SAL airport. And place was really amazing. It was not just a hotel room but a room in a tree house. And location was on a beach in Surf City. I will come back here to start surfing.
