---On-Site Perks: Mini-market (tiendita) and restaurant on property.
---Prime Location: 2-minute walk to El Zonte's main surf break and surf schools.
---Budget & Food Tips
A daily produce truck visits the village for fresh goods.
For affordable staples, catch the frequent highway buses to Super Selectos at the El Encuentro shopping center.
I enjoyed my stay. Nice cosy room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean. We had a wonderful experience. Definitely will come back to stay again.
The place is excellent. I enjoy my stay. The place it's amazing. The rooms are great. The staff were very nice and friendly. The Hostal La Canasta t's a jewel in the area. I highly recommend.
We had the bad luck to come on a day with a night party right next to our room going on until 3am - By the way, the place is nice and quiet, next to the beach.
We booked last minute. Small and okay to stay.. beware. There is no hot water but that might be normal on the lower end hotels in that part of El Salvador. Restaurant on site. Great service .....food and drinks nice and cheap. You could walk to the beach in 3 or 4 minutes but really nothing there at night time.
