"Upscale Relaxation"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I call the days we spent at Zota "Olympic level relaxation", because we were so comfortable that we had no need to leave the resort for days on end. We slept late in our uber comfy bed, sometimes skipped breakfast and had lunch in the pool bar before setting up for the day by the pool (perfect temperature). The staff are always happy and charming, the food is wonderful and you will love it.

"Excellent Staff"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
All the interactions that we had, the staff was incredible from the restaurant, parking staff and staff at the pool and at the beach. I felt uncomfortable when I needed to request my car and did not tip the Valet every time. We left the hotel sometimes four five times. Food at the restaurant was very good but could have been a little warmer. Will return.
