Traveled with families and they were able to accommodate during a very busy weekend. There are two buildings to this hotel. A more modern one and one that has been around a little longer. However, the amenities, the cleanliness, the restaurant within the hotel were all very good. The only thing I would add is maybe having music a little louder around the pool, we rented a cabana and we’re very satisfied with the care.

Hotel was nice and in a good area, lovely beach. Room was good, but we did find some ting bugs in the room, so not the cleanest. Also found the maintenance people working all over the hotel, so did end walking through wet plaster. Overall nice hotel, just annoying we had some bugs in our room.

Our stay at Zota Beach Resort was absolutely wonderful. Our fourth-floor room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with a beautiful partial ocean view. The bed was heavenly, the restaurant dishes were delicious, and the cocktails were perfectly crafted. We also loved the pool and the resort’s direct beach access, but the breathtaking sunsets were the highlight of our stay. Walking barefoot along the shore and collecting seashells made our getaway truly unforgettable. Zota was peaceful, clean, and welcoming—perfect for a romantic escape. It exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely return!!! LizMar
