Really good Dining Experience

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at Viento, the on-site restaurant. The food was excellent, and the view overlooking the pool during sunset made it even more special. The menu had a variety of options, and each dish was expertly prepared. I was thoroughly impressed with the overall dining experience and cannot wait to return for another meal.” view full review

Relaxing Pools and Jacuzzis

“The pool area at Zota Beach Resort is simply fantastic! The swimming pool and jacuzzi were always clean, with plenty of lounge chairs available. I loved that I could take an evening swim at 10:00 p.m. without any restrictions. The ambiance was perfect for both families during the day and couples in the evening, making it a great space to relax and unwind.” view full review
