stayed here a week and had a wonderful time. the beach bar is wonderful - a great spot to watch the surfers at sunset and a fantastic music venue at night. (the bar itself is beautifully shaped like an acoustic guitar). very laidback backpacker atmosphere with a great common area and hammock in front of every bungalow. wishing i was... More

We had a great time at La Guitarra and hope to return one day! The place has a chill backpackers village vibe with an awesome decor - a tribute to the world's activists / revolutionaries. The main house has a pool table, ping pong, free internet via laptops, a book shelf and tv with videos. I think there are also... More

I stayed here for 3 days in December and paid $15 for 1 person per night. The rates do go down for stays of 5 or more nights. I found the place to be ok value. The beds are good but the rooms could be cleaner and I got no towels or hot water with the room. There's internet only... More

This is our dream place! We came from California to visit our family in El Salvador . My brother Roberto "Pollito" took us to this awsome hotel and bar. This place is fantastic with great people and staff. The live music was excellent - food and drinks were the best! We are returning in April to visit our lovely family... More

We got one of the ocean view rooms (they are available with/out A/C) and loved watching the surfers at high tide - it looked as though they'd surf right onto our balcony hammock!... More

La Guitarra, where we stayed for over a week, is a really nice hotel/hostel situated right next to a well known surfers beach in El Tunco. The rooms are spacious and clean and the outside seating/hammock area overlooks a very well kept garden. There is a large kitchen and break-out area with bar, pool table, free internet and TV room.... More

Eight of us took a weekend off from our studies in Antigua and went down to El Tunco for beach time, party and some surfing. We stayed in La Guitarra Hotel and Bar - which is probably better seen as a combination between small hotel and self catering stay. The rooms are basic but neat and very clean; bathrooms work... More
