At Zel Punta Cana, your well-being is our priority. Under the Caribbean sun and just steps from the crystal-clear waters of Playa Bávaro, this all-inclusive resort is inspired by the energy of the Mediterranean lifestyle, in partnership with Spanish tennis legend Rafa Nadal. With architecture designed around open spaces, the resort offers swim-up suites, pools, a beach club, a concept store and includes up to seven restaurants that blend the best of Mediterranean and Caribbean cuisine into your experience. Run along the beach with friends, relax by the pool with a specialty coffee, join a HIT or energetic fitness class, or enjoy a sunset drink at our beach club. Here, everything flows: relax, activate your body, nourish your mind, and live to the rhythm of your own well-being, in your home in the Caribbean.

The resort is wonderful in terms of scenery and is extremely comfortable; the pools are practically exclusive to guests, as they are interconnected throughout the hotel complex. However, the food lacks variety, and the included wines are of very poor quality—ultimately, you have to stay there to truly judge it.

The staff was amazing, especially Emanuel, who was incredibly kind, welcoming and professional. His positive energy and genuine hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable. It’s rare to meet someone who is so dedicated to making guests feel comfortable and valued.

Upon our initial arrival, I was uncertain about the Zel as we are accustomed with staying on the beach. The Zel is a 5-10 minute golf cart ride to the beach. The rooms are fantastic. Firm yet comfortable bed, courteous staff, suite rooms, large balcony, and plenty of room to move around The food better than other all inclusive resorts. For lunch today Enemanual recommended ceviche. Much different than others we have in the past and quite good! Today is just day 1, I will update my review throughout the trip. Cheers!

Awesome place. Really nice people and great amenities. Restaurants are good, drinks and food options are good. Volcan has great steak & salmon & shrimp. Love the beach bar & how easy it is to get service. Rooms are pretty and well kept. Any problem I had, a staff member always provided help. The pools are really pretty. I felt like I got the experience of a very high end hotel for a very affordable price.
