We enjoyed our stay here! The location is fantastic, just a 1-2 minute walk to the beach, and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. The room was great, with well-functioning air conditioning, and the shared bathroom worked perfectly. Having two restaurants on-site was also a nice bonus. Overall, it was a good experience, and we’d recommend it for the location and comfort.
The only downside was the check-in experience. The staff seemed uninterested, and we weren’t shown around, so we had to figure out things like the location of the bathroom and shower on our own. It wasn’t a big issue, but it didn’t make for the most welcoming start.

My private room was awesome! I had my own shower, bathroom and patio, all detached from my room which had A/C. I was livin in luxury. The store had snacks and water and Low Tide restaurant was next door and had great food. And Pupuseria Geisey was sooo good and cheap too! Friendly staff with somebody always available to help. And a good place to meet other travelers too. Quick walk to the break and it's a great wave. I stayed there and surfed this spot the whole week!
One dog barked at night but I went outside and said "hey!" and it wasn't a problem again.

Good place for short and longer stay. The garden is beautiful, kitchen well equiped. All you need is 3 minutes walk. But as you mainly stay here for surfing I would instal either a keyless (code) entrance or a safety box in a room.

Location is perfect right in the centre of El Zonte - which means just a little walk to restaurants and also to the beautiful beach.
it was a bit expensive in value for money but that goes for all the cost in El Salvador I guess

We stayed for one week in La Canasta, and everything went smoothly. The personnel are super nice, and the accommodation is nice but still quite basic regarding the price.

It was very welcoming and the staff were so nice. A friend recommended this hostel and we were so happy with our stay! The best part were the mangoes and the hammocks in the hostel!

Loved the proximity of the hotel to the beach. Staff was amazing. Loved the little shopping mart located next to the hotel. Space property. Highly recommend.
Would have loved for the property to have at least a small plunge pool but that wasn’t a deal breaker because I was often at the beach.

Lovely comfy rooms about 50m from the beach. Great balcony/garden area to chill out during the day. Also right next to an excellent restaurant where you can get breakfast/lunch. Highly recommend!

Actually my favorite "personal" room in all my Central American travels. There is an attached store that is fantastic. Last, and certainly not least, an attached Cafe run by a culinary artist, with an absolutely amazing menu. Oh, and possibly the sweetest little dog you'll ever meet lives there.

I liked the look, location and staff. the room had its own bathroom, AC and internet. simple but comfortable.
the only thing I would change is the mattress. it was to thin and dented where you slept.
