Absolutamente perfecto
Pros:

This place is run with love, every single employee runs around to keep you hydrated, fed and happy, the owner and management work tirelessly to keep you happy, the food is amazing and its location is insane, so close to the beach, they have surf instructors who will give you helpful advice even if your not a client, I would seriously take any bad reviews with a pinch of salt, already booked up for another 4 weeks, the price is absolutely reasonable, don’t miss out on a top notch hotel in the heart of el Zonte. Can’t thank them enough for everything they did.

Cons:

Everything, nothing was too much they work tirelessly for your enjoyment, oh and it’s completely silent by 21:00.

I rode waves all afternoon and walked a bit for some great food. I love El Salvador and would absolutely stay here agai
Pros:

Always a mystery to show up to a place booked online. That is what travel is all about though an i right? My room is small with a giant bed and air conditioning is on and ready. For me this is what i need, as i am surfing and enjoying the waves directly in front of the hotel. I rented a board from the hotel and went out to enjoy my afternoon well past the sun setting. The room is dark when the lights go out so i know im about to get that sleep and be ready for dawn patrol.

Cons:

It’s not a big deal to me but if you mind sharing a bathroom, outside of your room you may have a problem with it. I’m sure there are rooms here with there own bathrooms but i went with the bottom floor shared space. No problem at all

Cons:

The place was under construction, with dirt and dust everywhere. When we booked we were sent an email about this, but the works were supposed to be over by the end of November, instead they were in full swing. My wife is allergic to dust so we couldn't stay there. We had to look for another place to stay.

Pros:

El personal fue muy amable

Cons:

Salimos a cenar y hemos retornado al lugar a las 10:30 pm aproximadamente, y nadie estaba pendiente al respecto nos tocó dejar el carro afuera y nos costó que nos abrieran la puerta esperamos alrededor de 20 minutos

Pros:

They were doing building works and it was noisy and disruptive. I had an early taxi for the airport and they started hammering at 9pm at night 2 rooms from me - simply outrageous. I had to fight them to get them to stop which they did at 9:45pm!

Very good
Pros:

It's really expensive for what you get. It's more like a hostel rather than a hotel but it was about $60 per room. The staff was nice but sometimes it was hard to find them.
