Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Zazen Boutique Resort & Spa is praised for its beautiful and spacious rooms, some with a sea view. The decor is aesthetically pleasing, with some bathrooms featuring gold hardware and shell items, giving a beach vibe. Many appreciate the convenience of being near Fisherman's Village, though the beach itself is small, with limited beach area in front of the hotel due to tidal action.
