Hotel Michanti ★★★

"This is a cute and clean hotel with good amenities. It is small so it is a great place to connect with other people if you are not the shy, keep it to myself kind of person. I was extremely disappointed, however, at the fact that they advertise activities such as yoga and other stuff but there was nothing available. I actually booked this hotel because, supposedly, there was going to be yoga a couple of days during my short stay there. I even asked about this before getting there. Well, when I got there, I was told that they didn't have a yoga teacher so they had no yoga classes going on at the moment. As far as other activities (exercise related), they just told me "no, we don't have today". I felt that I needed a partial refund for this reason. They even have yoga advertised at the gate. The best part about the place is the staff though. All of them are friendly, polite, and helpful."

Garten Hotel ★★★★

"The facilities here are generally outdated, and this is considered the best hotel in the area. Our group of four friends checked in, and breakfast cost over 300 RMB per serving, but it was incredibly basic. Ordering extra at the hotel would only cost $10. The funny thing is, breakfast for the four of us only included one serving of yogurt, so we had to share it? Orange juice was also only included in the breakfast, and refills cost extra. Unbelievable!"

"It hasn't been long since it opened, so it is very clean, and the owner and staff are all incredibly friendly. Although it is close to the main road, it is very quiet at night compared to other accommodations. I highly recommend it!!! Just be careful when walking around late at night, as dogs bark in the alleyways!!"

Lora Loca Inn ★★

La Canasta ★★

"The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the doors lock with keys, which made the room feel secure. It is a great place for surfers, especially because of the location and the relaxed atmosphere. I stayed in a private room with a big bed, a table, a shelf and AC, which I could adjust myself. The bathroom was shared with one other room, so it still felt quite private. The room was cleaned after check-out or, depending on the number of nights, also in between. Since I had the room to myself, it never felt dirty. There is also a small store with the essentials integrated, which is very convenient, and there are two restaurants directly there as well. Overall, it was a top experience and I would definitely recommend staying here, especially for surfers looking for a relaxed stay in El Zonte. :)"

Hotel Castillo Blanco ★★

"Amazing, is a beautiful place"

Hotel Esencia Nativa ★★

"My friend stayed here for a few nights before I flew into El Salvador and joined her. I didn’t end up staying, but she loved her room and pretty much everything about the hotel (especially the staff)! I arrived into the country around 6.30am and headed straight to El Zonte to join my friend, arriving just after 8am — and only stayed at the hotel until 1pm, when we moved on to another location. Speaking of which, this hotel is definitely all about location location location! My friend’s room was very spacious and appeared clean. Staff were super friendly and the breakfast I had upon arrival was delicious (my first meal in El Salvador!). Loved the sound of the waves breaking and children’s laughter from the river throughout my brief half-day visit."
