Zota Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great resort for getaway."

Tropical Breeze Resort

4/10 Poor

"The only good thing about this property is the location. Easy access to the beach and to the village. Otherwise the room was dirty upon arrival. Towels were hard to access. House keeping was inconsistent. Hot water for showers was unavailable. Dirty couch, walls, and floors. Not worth the price. Highly disappointed. "
