Excellent, our second stay in Zen Rocks, we'll certainly come back!
Pros:

Excellent location, fantastic place, superb service, quiet and comfortable to spend time and relax in Mani.

Cons:

There is nothing we didn't like, except for the wasps flying around, but that's the beauty of being in the open summer air in Greece!

Pros:

Zen Rocks Resort er helt unikt og kan ikke sammenlignes med et normalt ferieresort. Beliggenheden midt i naturen er så flot, og alt er designet, så det er i harmoni med omgivelserne.

Der er en ro og stemning, som vi ikke har prøvet før. Vi rejste med teenagere på 13 og 18, og de elskede det også. Det er dårlig mobildækning på store dele af resortet, men selv vores teenagere lagde mobil telefonerne for at nyde den dejlige pool, roen og naturen.

Værterne er så venlige og behagelige, og det er en oplevelse at møde deres gæstfrihed.

Vores familie fik en privat yoga-pilates session. Det var en kæmpe oplevelse at træne med Vivi midt i naturen og med den flotte udsigt. Alle 4 er nybegyndere i yoga/pilates, men Vivi er så dygtig og sørgede for at både teenagere og forældre fik en oplevelse, som vi aldrig glemmer.

Morgenmaden er meget lækker og sund med friske, hjemmelavede smoothies, avokadotoast, æg og god kaffe.

Hele familien vil gerne tilbage til Zen Rocks.

Relaxation at its best!
Pros:

Very calm and quiet place! You have the time to relax and meditate! The view is magnificent! Get back to the pool before the sunset so you can enjoy the unforgettable view! All the stuff was very helpful and polite! Breakfast was really delicious, healthy and nutricious and we had the best fritata of our lives! Don’t forget to try the avocado toast! Our compliments to the chef!

Cons:

You need to have organised your groceries cause the nearest mini market is about 15min away!

Pros:

Zen is a real resort, a great place to spend the whole day. The mountainside offers an unparalleled view of the sea, which can even be enjoyed from the pool. The garden, apartments, buildings, in addition to comfort, were designed with highly elegant taste. The owner and the staff have created a family atmosphere, like an enchanted world away from industrial tourism.

Re-connection
Pros:

A welcoming and homely shelter among energetic olive trees, relaxing herbs and restorative nature. The staff is so empathic and sweet, non intrusive, able to convey the importance of the Cure towards yourself and the reality which surrounds us.
Competence, service and customer focus is a priority.

Enjoyed a lot, we'll certainly come back sometime!
Pros:

The hotel and location was a complete breath-taking surprise for us. The location is superb, with a remarkable view on the Messinia bay and the sunset over Kalamata. The facilities are complete, everything is very clean, run by super-friendly staff. We enjoyed the pool for a morning swim before breakfast, and even more in the late afternoon with view to the sunset. Nice, well balanced breakfast, complete with local recipes and season fruits.

Cons:

There is nothing specific we didn't like to note. Only note that Zen Rocks is situated at the top of a hill therefore need some effort to reach it with a curly mountain road.
