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.

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.

Chambre grande et confortable, plusieurs choix pour le petit-déjeuner inclus. Proximité de la plage. Personnel sympathique, surtout Tico. Vue magnifique du restaurant. Couchers de soleil exceptionnels sur la plage juste à côté. Plusieurs hamacs et endroits pour relaxer disponible.

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.

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!

Overall not the best experience. Rooms are very basic, more like a hostel. Towels were stained. Pool didnt seem to be clean either. Considering price paid as well. They do have a good location in front of the water for surfers

grounds are well kept. Alex, Isabela and everybody there makes you feel welcome, food options were good. This is a great place to disconnect from tv and radio news. by 10pm its so quiet, all you get to hear is the ocean waves and once in a while a mango falling onto to the roof, place is steps away from the pacific ocean. if you love surfing this is the place to stay. If you want to relax, have peace and quiet and food and drinks, come to this place. beware this is a very basic lodge, no hot water, no tv, no clock and no phone. I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

Perfect location, comfortable bed, amazing air conditioning, yummy breakfast - it is the perfect mix of hostel / hotel. My only advice would be for the property to have a labelling system for food in the shared fridge - all of our beer was taken by other guests on the first night. Otherwise - love this place and would come again!!
