Unfortunately there are several properties owned under the Zen name. The photos on Expedia didn’t adequately represent Zen Zaru Beautiful. The room was very basic along with misrepresented surrounding photos. If you sat on the patio/deck, with the one provided deck chair, you stared right into a fence. The property is located on a hillside, amongst the trees, but the fence and common area are limiting any kind of jungle experience you may be after. As I mentioned the hillside, there are a lot of stairs to and from the main road and parking area. We were disappointed with choosing this accommodation.

When we arrived, the room we booked 3 months prior on Expedia was already occupied. We were placed in another room that was half the size and not good (cramped and no sea view which is why we booked the original room). Host was not available to resolve the day of arrival and has been unreponsive to multiple attempts after to see if she would compensate for the error and the inconvenience. We are very disappointed in her non response. Expedia has tried to help resolve but they had no luck contacting her either.

First, to reach your room, you must climb up and down a hundred flights of stairs. Just be aware of this. Unfortunately, we had to wait almost 15 minutes for the hotel owner. We could not communicate with the staff because we don't speak Spanish. The owner was a great guy , he gave us tips about the area. Unfortunately, the room was not well-equipped. There was not enough space to store clothes, no hangers, etc., just a bed, lamp and an air conditioner.

Disliked: Amenities
No front desk personnel to meet or talk to. Very poor signage, and therefore difficult to find. Yes - it was hidden. No hot water for shower - if the electrical wires going into the shower head was supposed to heat the water, it didn't work. May need to have some instructions, if there was some trick to get hot water. Website should explain what the parking routine was going to be - a chain across the entrance that needed to be locked with a padlock. Bed was OK. Breakfast was good. Overall, this was an average hotel at best. But it was OK for the price I paid.

Alojamiento bien ubicado y con excelente servicio. La habitación estuvo bien cómoda para dos y muy limpia. Recomiendo llevar equipaje liviano ya que tiene demasiadas escaleras. El desayuno era el mismo todos los días. Todo lo demás perfecto.
