“A PLACE WE CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN TO”

ZÂRIA Hotel & Retreat Center is a remarkable destination where nature's splendor seamlessly blends with exceptional hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness, instantly feeling like cherished members of a vibrant family. The location is absolutely stunning, just a short stroll from Playa El Valle, enveloped by a lush jungle that feels like paradise. The breakfast was not just delicious; it was a delightful experience that surpassed all expectations. The open-air kitchen exuded an inviting charm. The breathtaking infinity pool is undoubtedly one of the standout features, offering spectacular panoramic views of the jungle that will leave you in awe. What truly distinguishes ZÂRIA is its extraordinary staff. From our very first interaction, we felt genuinely valued and cared for. The entire team consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home, always greeting us with warm smiles and engaging conversations. Their kindness, attentiveness, and unwavering passion for creating an exceptional experience were apparent in every detail. The love and dedication from the staff made our stay unforgettable, leaving us with hearts brimming with gratitude.

“Amazing place with some considerations”

Loved the setting, common areas and rooms. The hotel is set in an incredible place, with lots of effort to make it a special stay. Having dinner there is great. Staff is fantastic.

The place is beautiful and well located, very close to the beach with lots of lovely local areas to discover - perfect for a nature break to relax and recharge. The view is amazing, everything was perfectly clean, and the entire staff team was highly helpful, friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend.

Everything was perfect and we were so well received by the staff. Anyone needs to try this beautiful and relaxing Hotel. I hope I will be able to come back there.

“Perfect”

This was the best place we stayed in DR. Andrea and Sergio always made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. The view from the pool is stunning! Big shout out to Willy, best food I had in the country! So so good. Can’t recommend this place enough.

“Very local experience, you won’t regret it”

Authentic place in the middle of the nature, the room is very comfortable and what makes it awesome it’s to hear the living nature. The infinity pool it’s another thing with those views. The staff is amazing and highly recommend to visit Federico’s farm with Jonni the guide.

“Probably the best place to stay in El Valle”

Amazing location in the middle of nature, pool with extraordinary view of El Valle and the beach, breakfast and dinner, lovely and helpful staff

Idyllic stay in this lodge surrounded by the jungle. Great location (10min walk to the beach), very friendly staff, zen and chilling atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the open kitchen area and the terrasse view.

An amazing little find in El Valle - perfect relaxing location where we were made to feel right at home. The hosts and owners were extremely accommodating, giving us tips about where to explore and organising excursions if we wished. The food is excellent - lots of options at breakfast, including fresh fruit, avocado, eggs and french toast. Dinner is a three course meal and they take dietary requirements into consideration. The walk to the beach is about 10 mins and is one of the best beaches we have been to so far. Would highly recommend staying here, especially as they plan to continue to upgrade and expand!

One of those rare authentic places located in the middle of the jungle with stunning views and unique atmosphere! Super friendly stuff, healthy and tasty food, specious and very clean room. Perfect place to relax!

Absolutely stunning! Loved every minute of my stay. The staff treats you like you're family, the food is incredible and the rooms are the perfect combination of jungle and luxury (the beds are super comfy). The terrasse with the infinity pool, with jungle and ocean view, is the perfect place for some morning quiet or a nice gathering in the evening. The beach is only a short walking distance away, and there is a lot of jungle, beaches and nature to explore around. I definitely recommend staying there!!!

Peaceful atmosphere, great location makes you feel living in the jungle between all those palm tress and bamboo houses, walking distance to the closest beach, lovely people. Big thanks for Chris and his family making us feel like at home, Igor for being best guide and Willy for unbelievable food!
