Clean & comfortable room, lovely location a few minutes walk from the beach, gorgeous ocean view, next door to Bajo Café - exquisite food & service, lovely low key vibe.
I’ve stayed at this property many times over the past 5 years. I have never experienced what I experienced this past time.
The entire building is totally abandoned and falling apart. Stained sheets, totally worn out couch, the light plate fell off when I hit the switch. NO HOT WATER.
I spent a whole morning trying to help the maintenance man fix the boiler. It was totally broken.
I ended up missing an appointment because I couldn’t shower/wash my hair.
I tried using the shower in the room next door that looked like a bodega. No water would come out.
I ended up using another room’s shower that was lukewarm but it was so dirty.
- All the doors were just open, no one running the place, me going in and out of the rooms trying to solve this problem on my own. This went on for 2 days-
All the while I had sent multiple texts to the concierge or woman who was supposed to be running the place. Never ever text me back. It was literally crazy. She never addressed it.
I didn’t leave and go to another place because I hadn’t been feeling well and didn’t have the energy to relocate. It was horrific.
I literally never leave reviews but I had to have them and everyone know. Beware. They need total renovations and to hire a new person to run the place. Crazy.
- AC also barely works -
Clean. Safe. Quiet. Close to the beach and small restaurants, but far enough away from the tourist areas. This is perfect for people who want a quieter experience and a great beach, seconds from their room.
It is also just down the street from Pranamaya Free dive which offers a variety of excursions. Great people.
It was our third stay at Ocean Zen. They really care. Yes, do not expect a perfect place but compared to many other places we've stayed, we had everything we needed. Love that their staff speaks good English, rooms are clean, away from the "insanity of the 5th Avenue," here at least you can SLEEP and have all you need for a get away stay.
We miss visiting with "turtles" and look forward to being back in the fall/winter.
P.S. It was great annual business planning and a recharge trip. Wish the rooms would have a "desk or at least a table."
Pictures I do not trust this hotel chain they are terrible very unsanitary and unsafe

The suite that we had was spacious, clean and had a nice balcony. We were in very close proximity to the beach. The courtyard area was not very well tended, and we had no hot water at all during our 3 days stay. The staff however were as pleasant and accommodating as they could be, but the problem was not resolved before we checked out
This place was dissapointing, it has potential to be great but a few things let it down. The water pressure was the lowest I had ever experienced, making it hard to take a proper shower or even brush your teeth, no hot water either. The pillows were hard and had lumps in them, new pillows would go a long way to making the stay more comfortable. The location is ok, the area is a little dodgy but could be worse and lastly the place is a little run down, it could use some refurbishment and painting.

This is one of the older properties in the area. It has no real amenities - no 24 hr front desk, just a security guard that serves no purpose. Pool looks like it hasn’t been cleaned all season. No elevator - had to take the stairs to the 4th floor to the “office” to check in. Had to haul luggage to the 3rd floor to get to the unit. The a/c unit is not sufficient for the size of the unit. Room temp was not bearable until about 3 or 4am. The only positive thing was the view from the unit and the rooftop. Thats the only reason to give this place a second look.

L'emplacement est excellent, près de la plage et des activités. La seule chose, difficile d'avoir de l'eau chaude pour la douche c'est la seule chose que nous avons manqué. Le reste était impeccable.
Merci pour c'est belle vacances.

I wasn’t able to check in to this hotel. No attendant on-site when I arrived around 4:30 pm. Tried to call over and over no response . Waited until 8 pm on-site and decided we’d to get another hotel as it was getting late . Stay away from this place . It is bad condition as well . Nothing lke the pics. Still awaiting a refund I may not get .
