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.

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.

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.

I really enjoyed with my family staying at this hotel the only thing I didn’t like was that when I did the reservation the hotel information made it sound Iike the hotel room had a sea view and that it was accessible to the beach easily we took my 75 years old mom and to get to the beach from the Garten hotel is 75 stairs down from the pool area just to consider is your have health issues but other than ghat the hotel is great

The location, on the beach was phenomenal. Small clean property with restaurant and beach. I purchased massage, that was also very good. My last interaction with Dennis, front desk person was slightly uncomfortable. I attempted to explain that I was charged for water incorrectly and he continued to reference the free water in the room.

I like that the beach is very close to walk to and very private. Everyone is very nice and it also has a gym. I don't like that the living room windows have no curtains or blinds. For the $500 per night, we expect them to provide us towels for the beach because we can't always bring towels in our luggage. They also don't have an iron in the room.
