Horizonte Surf Resort and Restaurant in El Zonte, El Salvador

Horizonte Surf Resort and Restaurant, on the shore of one of the best surf spots in El Salvador, is a friendly and relaxed place to spend your time on the Playa El Zonte. Less than 20km from La Libertad, El Zonte is a small village with a lot of potential to one day be full of major resorts. But for now it’s still that much more enjoyable tiny town full of thatched-roofed houses and a couple beach beer-drinking hangouts. has everything you need for short or long stints, and prices for the backpacker’s budget. The rooms and new, spotless, and pleasantly bug free. Each room has its own powerful air-conditioner and a fan and clothesline to assist in drying swimsuits. The middle of the complex is set around a large pool that is a great place to swim and catch some sun if you don’t feel like getting sandy in the ocean across the street. There is a small bar in the back of the facility that serves water, sodas, Gatorade, and cervezas. And, although internet is still hard to come by in El Zonte, there is a shared connected laptop that you can use to check your Facebook and Email.
