Olas Permanentes El Zonte

I loved the server Oscar! He helped me so much and was very very amazing at his job! He made my stay even better. There was a receptionist with glasses that helped me also with a couple issues I had. The room was good and so was the Wi-Fi usage!

I emailed y’all the day of the 17th saying I was going to arrive late but I did not hear back. I landed and went to the hotel around 2-3 AM and was honking and making noise and NOBODY came out to help us. We drove from the airport to the hotel and went all the way back bc I had nowhere to stay! The next day I was calling to make sure what time I can get there so I can check in. But y’all was denying my calls, getting an attitude, and wasn’t responding to me.

Liked that is was beach front with surf break behind the restaurant

Right in front of Olas Permanentes El Zonte you can watch a world class surf scene unfold. Families playing and spending time together. Dogs run free and everyone feels their problems no more, if only for that magical moment. The owner is a great guy and the woman who manages the hotel is also fantastic. I received terrific treatment from everyone and was made to feel very important.

N/A

As a restaurant, Olas Permanentes was great!! The food was delicious, the staff was attentive and helpful and the views of the ocean and sunsets were wonderful.

The room itself was clean but very dated (like spring break in Florida at a cheap motel). There was no pleasant view from our room (either the check in desk or the parking lot). There was only enough water per day for one of us to shower and brush our teeth. And there was an intermittent vibrating noise (like a compressor kicking off and on) all day and night that kept me awake all 4 nights of our stay. It is advertised as having a pool but “the pool” was the size of a small hot tub or kiddie pool. Seemed overpriced for the quality of the facilities.

The bedroom had bugs

Fantasic location in El Zonte on the right hand side of the river. The beach was sandy and big with great waves. This location is a good middle place to stay. Not a hostel, not a fancy resort, but for us just right. The restaurant and public areas are right on the beach. It was great to watch people surfing or playing beach soccer and of course play in the water overselves. You can also take surfing lessons or rent boards if you want. It was an active place, but not crazy partying or anything. Just right and fun and good food. You can walk over the river to the other side of El Zonte and there are more places. The river isn't deep but there isn't a bridge so your feet will get wet. Airconditioning was in the room, it was clean and it had the standard cool water but we are totally fine with that in this hot weather. As someone who has a hot bath every night at home I'm not in the least bothered by the coolish water for showering or washing my long hair! If you want fancy, this isn't it. If you love the beach and playing in the sun and good food and looking for a great place, this was it!

Nothing, we really loved it here! Its exactly what it says it is. Garbage! They still need some help with the beaches to keep them clean so lets all pitch in. I really became aware of the plastic everywhere. Next time I will bring my own straw to travel. I know it seems silly, but when you see the amount of straws on the beach I hope you'll want to do something too!
