The only reasons this stay was not a perfect, 5-star rating is the small challenges locating it, and the distance from some of the local eateries and activities. This area is under development, and I anticipate it being even more attractive in the coming months. Olympic surfing qualifiers were held in this area so the waves are well regarded. The beaches are rocky instead of soft sand, although the smooth stones made traversing or sitting on the beach perfectly comfortable.

The hidden nature of the hotel might be a draw for some. I saw couples, families, and groups. There were also visitors from neighboring Guatemala and others who seemed to enjoy the beachfront tables for dining without being guests of the hotel.

The rooms were clean with views of the water; the sound of waves gently woke me up in the morning. The bathroom in my room was compact, but not cramped. The towels and bath products were high quality, the beds comfortable, and the common areas appreciably decorated to suit the beachfront location. There is also a pool and deck area worthy of social media superstars. Drinks from the bar were impeccably made and presented, with a price point capable of tempting indulgence.

When I visit again I plan to stay at this property. It may be nice to explore some other options for comparison even though I could easily spend a week with the pleasant staff, delicious drinks, and relaxing atmosphere of this property.

Great Views, Rooms, and Staff_DvB

Great spot for the self-catering surfer with a car. The spot is located directly beside the rocky beach point break and with its own kitchen. The walk along the rocky shoreline to El Tunco (restaurants, bars, shuttles and organizing tours) takes about 20-30min and the closest full supermarket (and open air local markets) is in La Libertad which is a 15min drive or 2hr walk along a pretty busy highway. The rooms are spacious with basic furnishings. There are some hammocks and a very nice small fresh water pool for lounging in and watching the waves or sunrise/sunset.

For the Self Catering Surfer

This place is amazing, right in front of the surf break (El Sunzal). Surf, Sun, Relax. The staff is great, very friendly and always there to help. This is a place you just want to come back! Great vibes, great people! Come visit soon!!

Best place around the Salvadorian coast

The Beach front B & B is very relaxing and quiet. We had difficult finding the place on night of arrival and since we couldn't reach the host we got a cheap hostel in El Tunco to sleep after traveling on a bus for 14 hours. Two hours later we got ahold of host but already paid for other room. We took the bus after breakfast to the town and walked toward the beach. By the picture of the pool on the beach we knew we found it. Once there check in and room was great. Staff was wonderful. Room upstairs #4 we could smell mold, but was managable. We walked along the beach during the day for food as not at B&B. was a bit difficult with the rocks, but is possible. Certainly not at night. The pool was great. Ricardo came to us and showed us his video on  youtube and sold us 3 braclets for $5 USD each. The sunset was amazing. Met another traveling couple there and we enjoyed talking and beers. Very peacful, quiet and romanic there. Would recommend, but make sure you get there during the day. 

Secluded quiet get away 

Best spot we found in El Salvador! Right in front of the most consistent surf break of the country! The location was perfect, it's about 30 min from the airport (35$ for the taxi)  The staff were super nice and respectful, everybody is Salvadorian. I barely speak Spanish and had no problem at all!  Probably the only hostel were we didn't need our own sheets, beds where clean. 5 min walk on the beach from the little city of El Tunco. The vibe was pretty exclusive with the late night wine in the pool under the stars after the surf session. Some of the staff even came surfing with us at 5:30 am!  This spot was an other level compare to every other place we tried. we honestly felt super safe. They had various clientele  going from  mid twenty's to late forty's and everybody really got along. The price was perfect, you could also find cheaper but honestly for 5$ less per night none of them where on the beach front, totally worth it. Every morning for a few bucks we had granola, yogurt and fruits brought to us with coffee. They is also plenty of little restaurants nearby for pupussa's and other traditional Salvadorian meal , for 1$ we had 3 pupussa and we where full. They have everything in the kitchen if you need to use it  and they let us place some of our own food in their fridge. I think the only negative comment i could give them is they didn't rent surfboards but we understood their priority was assuring a quality retreat for everybody and that they where not in the surfboard location. we rented surfboard for the week in the city of El Tunco for something like 8$ per day.

Thanks  guy's we are definitely coming back .

Sincerely
Vincent

Surf/Motorcycle  trip

We found Hostal Los Almendros in Rough Guides, it appealed to us as it was listed as a locals favourite, though funnily enough there were only foreign guests when we were there. What they didn't mention was the pool! It was amazing, literally on the beach, you can watch surfers try their luck on the El Sunzal point break & beautiful sunsets every evening. The water temperature was warm & perfect. 

All the rooms are on the 2nd floor. We had one with a beach view. It was simple & comfortable, with a double bed & a single, the bathroom was a good size too. We also enjoyed hanging out on the balcony, it's a nice social common area with sofas, hammocks, tables & chairs.  

There's a restaurant with a small menu & a kitchen you can use though we just ate at the comedors in the village and when we visited La Libertad & El Tunco. Cheap beers. This hostel is a really easygoing place & worth it for the pool alone.
