Zazen is an absolutely magical boutique hotel with a charming atmosphere and beautiful gardens. My wife and I had a wonderful romantic getaway, enjoying peaceful moments in numerous lovely spots around the property. Although the beach didn't allow for swimming, the overall experience, complete with excellent dining and exceptional service, made it worth every penny.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, especially enjoying the beautiful gardens and the tranquil atmosphere. The staff's attentiveness really made my experience special. While I loved the outdoor bathroom concept, the minibar was not always cool enough for a refreshing drink. Overall, a delightful place to relax.

Zazen Boutique Resort is simply stunning, set in a beautiful tropical garden that invites relaxation. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with an authentic Thai flair, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure you're well taken care of. The breakfast is exceptional, but the cleaning could use a bit more attention. While the beachfront location offers some nice views, the area surrounding the hotel features construction sites that detract from the overall charm.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the pool and restaurant area were fantastic with great views and attentive service, there were significant issues with bugs and room cleanliness that dampened my overall stay. The outdoor bathroom setup is charming but it allowed various wildlife to intrude, which was unsettling. It’s a beautiful place and has potential, but they need to address some of these concerns.

The rooms are beautifully furnished with an authentic Thai feel, but the outdoor bathrooms attract unwanted guests like lizards and bugs. I appreciated the semi-outdoor design, but it did feel a bit exposed at times.

Zazen is a fantastic boutique hotel that offers a peaceful escape with luxurious accommodations and exceptional dining. The rooms are beautifully designed, immersing you in Thai aesthetics. The service is attentive and personalized, making your stay even more enjoyable. However, the limited beach access could be a drawback for some, and the transportation costs to and from the airport are not inclusive, which feels a bit off for a hotel of this caliber.
