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

The Garten hotel was very comfortable with amazing food, service and views. We love the boutique hotel vibe with 5 star service. The proximity to the beach was amazing. We would definately stay here again and would recommend to anyone going to El Salvador.

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:)

The hotel is very nice. Hospitality was generally great. The service for the restaurant was hit or miss, depending on the employees working that day. But any service involving our room was excellent. Keep in mind that there is a lot of construction surrounding the hotel as the area is starting to grow. That's not the hotel's fault and it's temporary, but it did get loud at times. Overall, one of the better spots to stay in El Zonte.

Just What I Needed
The Garten Hotel was just what I needed. My room was nice and spacious, clean. This hotel is right on a beautiful black sand beach(not rocky either). I loved the al fresco dining. The staff was amazing. I wanted to workout in their gym, and one of the receptionists walked me over to the gym, since it was located on the sister property(the villas) to show me exactly where it was. Food and drinks were good . It was quiet and relaxing, which I loved. I will definitely stay here again.
