Really nice family run hostel/campground minutes from amazing surf and short walk to tunco. Paid 4 usd a night p/p
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Very noisy camp because you will hear the whole night the lorries with loud motor brakes comming down the hill! we needed earplugs. possible with our motorhome of 7 meters. very basic bathrooms. OK if you are surfer and young. don't want to cook in the kitchen.
Report Check-InHad a very nice stay and the family was friendly. We paid $5 to dump and $5/pp. Was nice to use community kitchen, hammocks, common area. Wifi was hit and miss. Would stay here again.
Report Check-InShade from palm trees, 5 minute walk to the surf spots, and a lovely family that runs the place. Great value for $5 pp per night. The owner had a birthday party and invited all the guests in the hostel for food and beer. Had a great time!
Report Check-InNice spot - stayed 3 nights out back in our van, $5 USD pp / night. Clean bathrooms, shower, full kitchen, ok wifi, some communal hammocks and tables. We used electricity, no charge. Really nice owners :) they also have a store by the road.
Report Check-InReally nice family, endless Mangos, about a 200 meter walk to the beach. WiFi is okay. Water for refilling for $1. One power outlet available and was not charged to hook up the van. Dumping for $5. Fully gated. Our dogs loved it. They do laundry onsite but it was a bit pricey.
Report Check-InGreat place! The family is very welcoming. When we stayed there were mangos falling from the tree right in the campsite, super tasty! There is an electrical hook up. We paid $5/person. Not to far from the beach/surf. Wifi was a little spotty. Overall a nice spot!
Report Check-Innice campground. lots of shade under mango trees and free mangos if season is right. we paid 10 usd for 2 people in a van. some other cyclo travellers paid 4 usd p. p. I asked about it and he told me its cheaper without van.
Wifi signal, water hose and electricity on one site. cold showers and flush toilets. kitchen with oven and blender.
surf and body boards for rent. 6 usd per day, so cheap. unfortunately no long or soft boards.
only negative point: a bit noisy due to proximity to highway
stayed 6 nights
Lovely family. We spent Christmas and New Year's and they were so welcoming.
There is a fridge it's just not in the kitchen. Just ask if you cant find it :)
Great place. We fit with a big truck camper. No problem. It was awesome to spend time with this family. Don antonio was very nice. They have easy access to sewage if you want to empty your tanks. Pupusas, beer, 10 min walk to surf el sunzal. They do laundry and sell garrafon, beers, snacks.. muchas gracias
Report Check-In10$ la nuit par véhicule avec électricité, eau, douche, toilettes, wifi puissant. A l’ombre sous les arbres directement dans le jardin des hôtes.
Antonio l’hôte ainsi que sa famille son vraiment très hospitaliers et arrangeants. Les chiens sont acceptés. Il y a une tienda sur place, parfait pour de bonnes bières fraîches. L’endroit est fermé et sécurisé. A 5 minutes de marche vous accédez à la plage. De l’autre côté de la route vous trouverez de quoi vous restaurer, pupusas, pollo, tortas, etc...
Le spot est à 50 mètres de la route, un peu de bruit en journée et nuit calme.
Parfait pour une ou plusieurs nuits. Pas besoin d’être surfeurs pour séjourner à cet endroit.
Antonio and family are very friendly. good place

Hostel with camping option. I camped here with my van for 6 nights. 4 dollars a night. Got bathroom, shower, full kitchen(no refrigerator), and lots of free mangos from the tree. If you surf it's close to el sunzal (crowded right point break) and some walk for la bocana (better in my opinion, mostly lefts but aslo awsome rights, great A frame in low tide)
Report Check-InGreat place. Stayed here 2 weeks to surf. Kitchen with oven, clean bathrooms, indoor and outdoor shower, Wifi. You have chairs and tables, plugs and a community area. We really likes it here. Beach and Surfspot is about 5 min to walk. 4/pp or 5/pp if you need electricity.
Report Check-InWe stayed here for almost 2 weeks; very nice family, fast Internet, clean bathrooms, fruit-Truck comes daily. Closer to the pointbreak as Rancho Carolina
Report Check-InWe stayed in a cabana here, ample parking, we could ride our bikes up to our cabin, 2 people, double bed, private bathroom 12usd. Very quiet location, five minute walk to the beach, WiFi, clean, tiendas around, very friendly owner, he even came out zapping the mosquitoes at night for us
Report Check-InNice place close to the Beach El Sunsal. El Tunco is also in walking distance (go along the rocky beach). Stayed here 3 nights in our small van and paid 10 Dollars per night. Antonio also has a small "Tienda" where you can buy basic stuff like water and beer. A daily fruit truck drives along the street every morning. Here you can buy lots of fruits and vegetables. Recommended!
Report Check-InWe spent 3 nights here. 10$ for two people and truckcamper including electricity.
We filled up our tank of water and we asked to empty grey and black water.
We rent a surfboard, 6$ a day.
Nice place, close to the beaches.
Close to the main road so expect noise.
Espectacular! Se suponía que estaríamos 3 días aquí y nos quedamos 3 semanas! Antonio y toda su familia fueron en todo momento muy amables haciéndonos sentir como en casa! Son súper atentos y serviciales! Pasamos unas semanas increíbles a tan solo unos minutos de la playa! Buenas olas y buena gente, no podemos pedir más!
Report Check-InIf you're a surfer, this is your spot. If not, you're probably will miss the view to the ocean and the possibility to swim. We spend one night and than we moved on. You're vehicle shouldn't be longer than 24 feet / 7.30 m. That's ours and we had to go back and forward several time to manage the last curve into the garden.
Report Check-InWe spent 10 days at Antonio's. We loved it here. Antonio and his family are so nice and helpful. Walking distance to El Sunzal's waves, there is a pupusería just across the street and Antonio's family run a small tienda in their place. Nice wifi. 10$/night for two people with electricity.
Report Check-InWe stayed here for 8 nights. Antonio and his family are amazing, we felt so welcomed. They invited us for a family dinner with homemade pupusas and El Salvador rum.
We payed 10USD per night with electricity and he even has a dump station! Antonio organized drinking water to fill up our tanks and offered water from the garden hose! Everybody went beyond our expectations to make our stay unforgettable.
We spent 8 days here. Shade, eletricity, water, wifi and good waves...what else do you need? Also Sr Antonio, his family and the dogs are super nice. Across the road you can have delicious 'pupusas' for US$0,50 and cold drinks at the tienda that Sr Antonio runs. Very recommended!!!
Report Check-InGreat little campground. $10 to camp, private rooms for $14. Large/awesome family owns/operates/lives there. Practicing Spanish is a priority for us, and we got more Spanish and family time in here than at the home stay our language school in Antigua set up. It's a bit of a walk to surf, but not bad, and the campsite is super shady which kept it cool. Fit our needs well. Highly recommend.
Report Check-InNice little place with a lot of shade directly in the courtyard of a family. Antonio is really nice and his family too. Paid 10$. Bathroom-cold shower, wifi, electricity and water!!! There is a trail to go to the beach and you can take the bus to go to La libertad or other beaches.
Report Check-In$10 per night for 2 people including electricity and fast wifi (wifi turned off from 10pm-6am) Short walk to surf.
Basic shower and toilet. The most friendly hosts we've had on our trip so far.
Recommended.
Antonio and his family are supersweet and helpfull! Enough space in a fulltime shaded place for our rig. Toilets, WiFi, showers, water, electricty, and a laundry service on premise. 3 minute walk to epic waves. Only downside is LOTS of noise from the road...
Report Check-InAwesome place near by the beach, 4$ per person, camper and pet friendly. Really nice familly running this place, I highly recommend this spot.
Report Check-InAntonio greated us with a big smile. he had 1 liter bottles of Pilsner that were ice cold. $5 USD each for a room with two beds. beautiful garden and 5 minutes from the beach. close to good place to eat.
