Perfect destination for couples who desire a blissful relaxed environment However very limited entertainment activities and inadequate information for guests on how and where to go for evening entertainment Once we found Out where the evening fun was we were easily able to access these facilities with frequent transportation provided by the hotel

I can't say enough wonderful things about this resort. This is my second trip to the DR - the previous trip was pretty blah at a different resort with sub-par service, but Zel totally changed my mind and made me want to go back again! First of all, I love the activity schedule - was planning to do nothing but ended up doing most of the fitness activities. The yoga program was one of the best i've seen in my various vacay trips so far. I didnt manage to catch the teacher's name (she's from Amsterdam though, that i know) but thank you sooooo much!! She was truly knowledgeable in various yoga styles and very patient. Especially loved loved loved the sound bath sessions. Thank you! Next, I want to thank Mr. Fish for the amazing cycling tour. I haven't cycled for years and almost thought I couldnt, but he was very careful with us, looking out after us and super friendly and nice. Thank you! Last but not least, huge shoutout to Enmanual Cuteo at the Neguri Beach. Listing out the full name because appraently there were 3 Emmanuels at Zel - but Enmanual C. was truly the best. He introduced me to the wonderful drink that is Gin Tonic with Angostura - it became my go-to drink at the Neguri Beach club. He was always awesome with the service, getting me my next drink even before I asked, and has truly made me feel very welcome. Thank you so much for your great service, great attitude, and god blessed! The only one thing I would complain is that there are various hits and misses with food. Parda can use more variety and higher temperatures with the food? Not impressed with Mexican Greek - to me it felt like it ended up being NEITHER Mexican NOR Greek.

This was the best experience. Sitting on the beach next tto the emerald blue water listening to the waves crashing. The service was amazing. Ricardo and Greg were amazing and made the cabana expire unforgettable.

Great stay! First time doing an all inclusive and lucky it was at Zel! Totally loved their beach club and just posted up there most of our trip! Definitely ask for Ricardo or Greg, they will know what you want before you even ask!

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for four days, and honestly, it has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The hotel itself was absolutely amazing — the rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and maintained perfectly. Everything about the stay exceeded my expectations. What truly made this experience unforgettable was the incredible hotel staff. I would especially like to give a big shout-out to Keirin, who was exceptional throughout my entire trip. During my stay, I faced some health issues, and Keirin took care of me like family — truly like a brother. He never made me feel alone and was always there whenever I needed anything. His kindness, care, and genuine support meant so much to me during a difficult time. Service like this is very rare to find, and I am genuinely grateful for everything he did for me. Because of this experience, I will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone I know. I am all the way from India, and I will proudly promote this hotel because of the outstanding hospitality and service I received here. Thank you once again for such an unforgettable stay.
