Zel is a beautiful experience that feels more like a lovely boutique hotel than a sprawling impersonal resort. The rooms are newly renovated with a super welcoming Mediterranean feel. The spa is immaculate, and pool areas offer spaces to gather as a group or break off and do your own thing. Tons of lounge areas. We never felt crowded. Overall a perfect vibe, close to the beach and excellent service where you're treated like family. Absolutely recommend Zel and can't wait to go back!

Zel was amazing and had so much to do in the resort. Getting to the beach was easy and the staff was incredible. Yunior made sure my family had everything we needed during our stay and was incredible the whole week.

This was an immensely lovely experience. Our concierge, Yunior, was exceptional and truly went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Highlights include the AUA Spa, snorkeling with Tio Rocky, and the beautiful beach.

Rubia is the absolute best bartender ever! They’re literally impeccable. I wish I could take her & her drinks back home with me. Rubia made our vacation so great! We looked forward to seeing her every single day!!! ¡Rubia es la mejor camarera de la historia! Son literalmente impecables. Ojalá pudiera llevarla a ella y a sus bebidas a casa conmigo. ¡Rubia hizo que nuestras vacaciones fueran geniales! ¡¡¡Estamos deseando verla todos los días!!!
