Perfect Escape in El Zonte

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Garten Hotel in El Zonte, and it was nothing short of a dream. From the moment we arrived, I knew we had chosen the right place for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. The villa itself is beautifully designed, blending modern luxury with the natural beauty of El Salvador. The spacious open-plan living area is flooded with light, thanks to large windows that offer stunning views of the lush surroundings. Whether you’re lounging inside or relaxing on the terrace, the sound of the waves in the distance is incredibly soothing. One of the highlights of the villa is the private pool, which was the perfect place to cool off after a day exploring the nearby beaches. Speaking of which, the villa is just a short walk from the pristine surf breaks that El Zonte is famous for. If you're into surfing or just love the ocean, this location is ideal. The kitchen is fully equipped with top-notch appliances. We also had access to a lovely outdoor dining area, perfect for enjoying meals while taking in the incredible sunsets. What truly made the stay special, however, was the hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, offering local tips and ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible. Overall, Garten Hotel in El Zonte exceeded all expectations. Whether you're looking for a romantic escape, a family vacation, or a surf trip with friends, this villa is a hidden gem.

The hotel is pretty nice. It has a nice beach front, but not in front of el zonte surf spot. We stayed at the villas and are beautiful with a small private pool. We didn’t know that there was another common pool where the villas were. Nobody told us. We saw it on our last day. It was a shame but ok. Definitely a must stay place

We love Garten Zonte! Comfortable large room, delicious food, good drinks, stunning pool with ocean views, staff is ready for any requests and delivers quickly with a smile and always so friendly. The beach below is spectacular. The resident parakeet Pistachio completely made my day flying on my shoulder and giving me a smooch!!! We can’t wait to return for our wedding on the rooftop patio next year:)

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Garten! The villa was absolutely wonderful — beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, and incredibly comfortable. It even had a private pool, which was a great bonus and made our stay feel extra special. It was definitely worth every penny. Although the villa was located a few meters from the main hotel, transportation was never an issue — they provided a shuttle at any time, and all we had to do was send a quick text. Super convenient! We had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, and it was a highlight of our trip. My husband and kids enjoyed it just as much as I did. The drinks were delicious — we had a Mojito and the Passion Fruit Margarita, both perfectly made. Our kids loved their Blue Lagoon mocktails! To start, we had the Sashimi, which was fresh and flavorful. For the main course, we ordered the Pulpo a la Parrilla, La Gran Mariscada, and Camarones al Curry — every dish was outstanding, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. We loved our experience so much that we ended up booking an extra night. We’re already looking forward to coming back!
