Zara Cave Hotel +10

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed at Zara Cave Hotel 7 days and 6 nights. My stay was nothing short of phenomenal. Hotel had many locations to choose from for early morning hot air baloon viewing or just relaxing and taking it all in. One of the best perk for this hotel it's it's location. Ease of walk to many restaurants shoping areas, insert activity/adventure here pick up and drop off. If you need a local charger, snacks or hygene products options are available right across from the hotel. Of note the staff was amazing. I would like to recognize Dennis the manace and Maryeum whose daily duties includes interacting with the staff at breakfast, making guest feel at home while being away from home. The daily laughter and time spent at breakfast made the days even when skies were cloudy that much brighter. Dennis for example speak manny languages and interacted with guest in their native tongue making conversations easier. Maryeum cooking abilities did not miss. Special thanks for what might be the best lentil soup during my entire vacation. Another special thanks to the staff at the front desk for making my accommodation/birthday celebration special. Thank you all again. Rayon"
