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.

Only four rooms, as far as I could tell, so service was attentive. A lovely pool and bar with a view over the ocean. Beautifully presented drinks.
Breakfast was excellent, dinner was so-so.
The beach is down a flight of steps and it's the best way to get to the rest of El Zonte.
I was very happy there and will be back.

Stayed in Villas with our family. Loved the service, rooms and the amenities. The beach was absolutely beautiful. We could see both sunrise and sunset from the beach. The food at the hotel restaurant was good. We could also walk around the area and grab food. We walked in the area late night and it was so safe. Some of us learnt surfing and loved it.

I really enjoyed with my family staying at this hotel the only thing I didn’t like was that when I did the reservation the hotel information made it sound Iike the hotel room had a sea view and that it was accessible to the beach easily we took my 75 years old mom and to get to the beach from the Garten hotel is 75 stairs down from the pool area just to consider is your have health issues but other than ghat the hotel is great

I like that the beach is very close to walk to and very private. Everyone is very nice and it also has a gym. I don't like that the living room windows have no curtains or blinds. For the $500 per night, we expect them to provide us towels for the beach because we can't always bring towels in our luggage. They also don't have an iron in the room.

The location, on the beach was phenomenal. Small clean property with restaurant and beach. I purchased massage, that was also very good. My last interaction with Dennis, front desk person was slightly uncomfortable. I attempted to explain that I was charged for water incorrectly and he continued to reference the free water in the room.

This was 1 of 4 properties that we stayed at during our trip to El Salvador. It was absolutely perfect in all ways. The room is very spacious and beautifully furnished. The air conditioning kept our room very cool. The bed is slightly firmer than I prefer but still slept well. There is a stocked mini bar and Netflix available on the tv. The poolside bar was where we spent many funds. Alexander the bartender served us with a smile and even allowed me to play Sofi Tukker while we were there on the speakers surrounding the pool. The pool is pristine and the perfect temperature and there are big 4 poster lounging beds available for when not in the water. There is beach access stairs and a little shower/foot wash station where you can rinse off the black sand. The very best room is room 5 and was unavailable but is where I’d like to stay next time. If I come back year, I’m going to request that room for sure. I can not say enough good things about this property and felt completely safe and welcome here. Other staff worth mentioning were Julio and Carlos. They always greeted with a smile and were very accommodating. Property is only about 13 minutes by Uber for only like $6 from El Tunco beach if you want some local flavor.

The Deluxe Villa is not what it looks like in the pictures. We couldn’t see the beach from it. The hotel is nice and has beautiful views. The villas are not in the same property. We felt deceive by the pictures. Definitely not worth the price for the villa when it doesn’t have an ocean view and is a good walk to get to the beach. The major reason we booked it was due to the ocean view. We had booked it for two nights but only stayed one night. The hotel is very nice and it should be made clear that the villas are not in the same property and no ocean view or direct beach access.
