I had a mixed experience at Zalmedina Hotel. While I appreciated the comfortable beds and good air conditioning, I found that the customer service and overall quality had declined, particularly with the breakfast options. The location is convenient and close to the beach, but safety concerns in the area were a downside.

The service was hit or miss; some staff were very helpful, especially with carrying my bags, but others seemed lacking in social skills and were rude. I also noticed slow communication regarding my cancellation charge.

My stay at Zalmedina Hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the friendly staff made my experience better, and I loved the room's aesthetics and cleanliness. On the other hand, the dining options were a letdown, and the noise from outside made it hard to sleep. Overall, I had a decent stay but wouldn't rush back.

I had a wonderful stay at Zalmedina Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my experience truly enjoyable. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Bocagrande, with easy access to shops and the beach. However, the rooms are quite small, which might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, I loved my time there and would definitely return! 😊🌴

The hotel offers great amenities like housekeeping, laundry, and a helpful front desk. However, it lacks a pool, which I personally didn't mind since the beach is so nearby.

My stay at Zalmedina Hotel was quite disappointing. While the WiFi worked well and breakfast was included, the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues and unhelpful service. The location was decent, right across from the beach, but safety was a concern in the evenings.
