about this place

One of the places that has gained great importance in the La Libertad area is undoubtedly Playa El Zonte. Community development is evident, along with the opening of new businesses, and its presence in the public eye, having become popular after being labeled "Bitcoin City," makes it a very important destination.
But unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find accommodations with standard rates, and that's where this place, El Rancho Loco, becomes an option worth considering.
The place has very high-quality facilities, is just steps from the ocean, and has several spacious rooms with a garden and pool.
The decor is very unique and striking, and on each of its walls, both inside and outside the rooms, you'll find hand-painted murals by local artists, with illustrations inspired by local culture, many images of pre-Columbian culture, landscapes, flora, and fauna of El Salvador.

The property offers several types of rooms, from a double bed for couples, to twin rooms, to triple rooms. All have private bathrooms and air conditioning, terraces with hammocks, living rooms, and internet access for those interested in working remotely.

Regarding the distance to the beach, the house is about 300 meters from Punta del Zonte, above the second entrance, right next to the main access road. Finding the property is very easy.

Regarding food, the property offers a kitchen that guests staying multiple nights can use during certain times of the year. However, you should check before booking whether the kitchen is available for guest use on your planned stay dates.
