The reason my overall rating is not a 4 or 5 is because of the quality of the hotel and the price was too high. I'm hesitant to say anything negative about the place, because I like the owner so much. However, I will be honest and pass along my review. I stayed at this place recently (Nov, 2011) with... More

Owned and operated by an Australian couple this small hotel is on a small road across from a very long sandy beach. The rooms are large, have nice kitchen and large picture windows facing the street, a couple of houses, the dunes and the ocean. There is a parilla on each balcony and the hotel offers wood and kindling at... More

Tamara and Andres have made a nice modern style accommodation here on the west side just outside of La Paloma. Across the street from the beach (not directly on the beach, so if you must have a direct view of the ocean do the upper units – for us it didn’t matter) they have parking, great parillas (bbqs) with wood...

The Zen hotel is an beautiful stone construction of European design character. The immaculate rooms are spacious, have their own stone BBQs & balcony that overlook the ocean. The ocean, just across a small road, is so close you hear the waves day & night and literally can watch whales from your room. We saw whales in the first 5... More

I had a great get-away-from-it-all in late August at the Zen Boutique Hotel. The hotel is clean, the perfect size, wonderfully located near the beach and the owners were incredibly friendly and supportive of whatever your plans were. I saw lots of wild life close to the hotel, whales, penguins, seals and a plethora of birds. More

Hi PJDuffin Thanks for taking the time to make a review! It was great having you here, and hopefully you´ll both be able to come back when you next need some r&r and a break from the city. I think that you´ll hold the record here for distance walked for quite awhile! Hope to see you again Kind Regards Tamara,... More

Found our new home away from home in La Paloma. Located on Playa Anaconda and just a few minutes from town, Zen is a brand new hotel with every amenity you could imagine. From your own personal parrilla, bikes, beach club complete with kayaks and surfboards and a staff that is always smiling and available. Great value - kid friendly... More

It's certainly worth considering Zen hotel for a more comfortable beach side stay. Rooms are well furnished beyond what you would encounter in the best of hotels, staff (usually the owners) are flexible and keen to help and the surrounding area is a quiet sanctuary that will have you relaxed in no time. Some nice touches here include the complimentary... More
