Séjour reposant mais vraiment trop cher payé pour les services offerts - je préfère un 3 étoiles comme un Tim à Paris qu
Pros:

L’emplacement est magnifique - plusieurs endroits discrets pour se reposer. Les plans d’eau sont bien aménagés. La plage est magnifique mais c’est géographique.

Cons:

Zel est une vieille dame bien maquillée. Nouveau concept !! Peut être mais on a plutôt besoin de serviettes dans la chambre cela nous a pris 4 jours avant d’en avoir…et aucun service de chambre le 1er janvier. Le vin maison est imbuvable , impossible d’avoir une coupe de champagne je parle pas de cava ou de proseco - à 800 $ par jour quand même et on nous a fait payer en plus 230 $US pour un souper du 31 décembre toujours avec le même vin imbuvable et sans bulle digne de ce nom - et pas de café !! Je suis allée au Barcelo il y a deux ans durant la même période et le champagne coulait à flot- le ZEL est un 4 étoiles sans plus on nous fait payer cher parce qu’il y a moins de chambres. Le personnel est gentil et souriant en général mais besoin de formation. On nous dépose une bouteille de vin que nous avons acheté parce que on en peut plus du vin maison imbuvable sans l’ouvrir - on est en train de manger nos entrées et on nous apporte le plat principal en même temps etc etc c’est digne d’un film.
