El Paredon Surf Camp

This is a great place if you are looking for calm environment, nice people and the host, a bit of isolation and privacy and ocean litteraly in a jump from the bed... :) During our few weeks in Guatemala we even stayed there twice as we liked it so much. We lived in wooden cottage with a little basic kitchen which we liked to use. The place doesn't have any AC etc, but it's not necessary, especially for the night. The beds have mosquito nets. However, if you decide to stay there, don't miss a chance to take their PANCAKE for breakfast. Is the best one in all Guatemala (and we had so many of them during our 5 weeks travel...) :) Coffee for breakfast included... And if you like, you can also book for lunch or dinner as they cook that too. Surf Camp is a bit further from other hotels and hostels on the beach which makes it a silent oasis. In the same time, it is just two minutes walk to the local (grocery) stores... There is no wifi, so if you plan to do a little working "from home" there (as we did), go ready with charged data to make your own hotspot or just walk for a coffee or drink to near by locations... Also, there is a church in a close neighbourhood, so especially in the evening you'll have a little cultural insight into never tired worshiping by music and singing... :)

I had never spent 7 nights in the same place! It was a really chill and nice way to end my trip in Mexico & Guatemala. Really calm place, clean and literally by the beach. Maybe the restaurant could offer something more, at least some natural juices. And renting a surf board wasn’t always easy, as they don’t have many and don’t want to risk if the waves are not perfect. But I made it :)
