Wonderful

Our room overlooked the pool, it was very quiet. Short walk to the beach. The beach was beautiful and-excellent for walking. On site restaurant was very good.
The facility and staff were excellent. My only gripe is the mandatory valet parking. I like to have access to my vehicle at all times. Otherwise, a top notch facility. I would definitely recommend it.
The facility is lovely and is on the beach. It was very clean. The staff are just wonderful!! We enjoyed the dining room often during our stay! A great week for two seniors!
Clean rooms, easy check in. The easy access to the beach and pool was perfect for our family and just what we were hoping for. Staff at the pool and beach were helpful and efficient. Only complaint was during our dinner: service was slow and the air conditioner condensation was dripping from the ceiling onto our table. Overall, we would be happy to stay here again!
We had an excellent stay at Zota Beach Resort. The location is beautiful, the staff was wonderful, and everything felt calm and well taken care of. Highly recommend!
The breakfast menu and buffet were very good. The gentleman who prepared the fresh omelets was amazing. He did a great job. The room was nice and clean. The cleaning services were exceptional. They took pride in making sure our room was clean and stocked. The only downside to my visit was waiting an hour and a half for our luggage to be delivered to our room.
Great atmosphere and good! Rooms were very nice and clean. Staff was super friendly. I loved the valet parking. Free beach chairs included in the resort fee was a great benefit. The pool was nice and heated for a February stay. I highly recommend.
Room was perfect. Staff was great. Loved the giant hot tub and heated pool. The location on the beach was lovely. We had a great stay.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The beach that the Zota Beach Resort is on is the best part of this place. White sand, beautiful water, and not too crowded even during spring break. Your resort fee includes 2 lounge chairs, but an umbrella or an additional chair costs $40 each. I was not happy when they ran out of umbrellas and wouldn't let us put one up that a local friend had. The overall service and attitude of the staff (front desk, bars, and restaurant) were below average. Our room was a nice size, and was clean.
We had a great time at Zota Beach resort. We had a beach view which was listed as a partial view room but was great. Opal tower is better than the other tower. Bigger balcony area.
Pool and hot tub were mice. Beach steps away. Would recommend.
The hotel and setting was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful sand beach with great pool and restaurants. We had an amazing stay and would love to return.

Disliked: Amenities
Services in room, replenishment, toiletries, towels etc not done. The older was rundown. Moving to the newer tower was an up charge of $175 per night. .Restaurant evening service poor.
Vanessa pool side service was excellent!
Beautiful beach could have had more amenities than just towels and umbrellas. For example food and drink service on the beach.
We would not stay at that location again and we would consider other Opal properties.
