Hotels in Playa El Paredón, Guatemala
This little beach town is delightfully underdeveloped, authentic, and relaxed. This is not a resort town by any means. Lots of small hotels and hostels. The temperature stays hot at night, and you might have difficulty sleeping. The beach was mostly clean, and the waves were good.
Absolutely love this beach and community. Felt safe everywhere we went and locals were really nice and welcoming.
