Before booking, I'd read the TripAdvisor reviews and I was unsure about this place. That said, there wasn't a lot of choice in the area as I was only booking a day or so ahead. It's important to appreciate that El Zonte is tiny and essentially little more than a dirt road with a handful of restaurants and hotels. Olas Permanentes is right on the beach front, which is so cool. Being able to have breakfast, beers, dinner watching the amazing sunsets, was so cool and relaxing. From my perspective, it was a very chilled place. The room was decent. Nothing spectacular but clean and decent size, with aircon. The beer was cold, breakfast (included) was good and with a choice, the staff were friendly, and overall, I was very happy. For people to complain that service is slow, and that they forgot a knife or a napkin, is really to forget it's a chilled beachside place on the Pacific cost! Two things that would improve it: One, to have 1 or 2 more veggie dishes on the menu. I had pretty much the same thing for three nights. I could've wondered up the road but, to be honest I was too chilled to bother. The other thing was to add a 10% charge to the overall bill, including the room costs. I didn't challenge this and I probably should have, so it's my fault, but I found that a bit off. I think this has be mentioned here already. Overall though, I would definitely recommend here.
