Reviews for Zel Punta Cana

Exceptional Solo Stay at Zel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

Stunning property & vibe, the setting is beautiful, lush pristine and incredibly cool. My experience was fantastic from the moment I arrived. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Really good vibes here and I found it a great place to socialise with other guests. The staff are truly in a league of their own, every team, from Security, Caonabo Beltre, was so friendly and would always looking out for me. Huge shout out to the golf buggy guys especially Gabrielle and Jose Mateau and Jose Mendez and all the other guys, nothing was too much trouble and made it so easy to get around. All the staff are so warm and friendly, fun yet professional. Yunior and Romina were excellent for concierge and spoke very good English. Also Elvis!. They were very helpful. The head chef, Miguel went above and beyond looking after my dietary requirements and even came out to cook for me on several occasions. Bar staff, Rubia, was best bartender! She rocked! In the restaurant, Socrates Mota made sure I was immediately looked after and comfortably seated and tended to me straight away. A huge shout out to the entire restaurant team. Every member of staff were lovely to me and made me feel really special. Special shout out -Team buggy boys Luis, Nataroad, Rocky, Andres, Osualdo..Jose by pool who organised trips, the tall DJ and Junior working behind the disco bar (made me amazing cocktails)..Suri, fun and helpful, Carlos (activity Director) always checking everything was good, must say a shout out to other 2 security guys Raulin Gomez and Natanael Berihuete and the gorgeous sweet coffee girl in reception..and of course Ricardo on the beach who was ready with my bed daily and always knew my drink and was |"on-it" I loved this place so much. I will be returning. I also stayed at the Paradisus but Zel was the one for me. You are the BEST Zel team. Thank you for such a memorable stay. Big Kiss to all please from Felippa! :-)

The hotel promised all inclusive but once you get to the hotel, you gotta pay extra if you want premium drinks Food is really limited to me it was a waste of money.

Worth the Price

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

Great for the price Buffet is small but excellent for breakfast Volcan and Tocarini were great Buffet lunch and dinner) and Nokyo were just ok Staff didn’t setup my golf like they said they did via email before trip . I was left without a tee time on my 40th Birthday. I was able to be squeezed in a later tee time but the entire situation was frustrating and disappointing. Spa was great but a bit pricey

Experience at Zel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

I would rate our experience at Zel 5 out of 10. The place looks amazing, and you have done an excellent job with the decoration. I am a German living in NYC, and I have a fluent command of both English and German. However, it was very difficult for me to interact with the recieving female staff because the only language she seemed to understand was Spanish. I booked 4 nights and 5 days and traveled with a baby. The receptionist who welcomed us at the front desk did not explain anything about the activities available at the hotel. She also did not take us around to introduce the hotel, the restaurants, or the beach club. We were simply handed a brochure, our luggage was taken to the room, and that was it. The pool and towel system was also unclear. We spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out where guests were getting their towels, because everything seemed occupied. Some guests told us they had simply found towels on a bench by the pool. It would be much better if someone provided a guided introduction in English explaining these things. Moreover, there are too few bars for a hotel of this size, and you often have to wait a long time to get a drink. That said, the bar staff were professional and made very good drinks, which I appreciated. The waiting staff were also very kind and polite. Communication could have been better, but I understand the challenge. However, the reception staff not being able to speak English is simply unacceptable. If the hotel is designed primarily for Spanish-speaking customers, I could understand, but the majority of guests seemed to be from North America and Europe. The food was another issue. Parda offered essentially the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day with only slight changes. This may be acceptable for one or two nights, but it became quite repetitive for a longer stay. Despite the challenges and limited availability, we managed to reserve seats at the restaurants. The Japanese restaurant was amazing. The food at Tacorini was also excellent, but unfortunately the mosquitoes were unbearable. My family and I do an all-inclusive trip once a year. From Constance Halaveli in the Maldives to Secrets The Vine in Cancun, this has been one of the less impressive resorts we have visited in terms of communication and the quality of food and beverages. I hope this feedback helps improve your services. I do hope the things I mentioned get better, and I look forward to giving a 10/10 rating in the future. If nothing
