The villa was very pretty and the views of the hotel to beach her beautiful. The small fault that the Hotel had was the cleaning of the bathrooms could be a bit better but other than that nothing to bad what makes us stay five star stay is the hospitality from its workers. They were extremely accommodating to any requests and did their best at all times to make Our stay special.

Spectacular view from the penthouse. Stair access to the beautiful black sand beach. Low density, only shared the pool with a few other people 2 days of our week long stay. Local are around the hotel is charming, hotel staff were excellent. The breakfast is delicious. Only complaint is you get one drink (coffee, juice). The orange juice is fresh squeezed and you will want more.

We love Garten Zonte! Comfortable large room, delicious food, good drinks, stunning pool with ocean views, staff is ready for any requests and delivers quickly with a smile and always so friendly. The beach below is spectacular. The resident parakeet Pistachio completely made my day flying on my shoulder and giving me a smooch!!! We can’t wait to return for our wedding on the rooftop patio next year:)

The hotel is very nice. Hospitality was generally great. The service for the restaurant was hit or miss, depending on the employees working that day. But any service involving our room was excellent. Keep in mind that there is a lot of construction surrounding the hotel as the area is starting to grow. That's not the hotel's fault and it's temporary, but it did get loud at times. Overall, one of the better spots to stay in El Zonte.

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.

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.
