We've stayed here 3 times - 2019, 2021, 2023 - always in August. The location can't be beat with the hotel being walking distance to great restaurants and bars, grocery and convenience stores, and liquor stores. This comes in handy because you have a fridge and microwave in your room. The reasonable resort fee includes two beach lounge chairs with an umbrella, just steps away from the hotel. The lounge chairs and umbrella alone are worth more than the daily resort fee. The restaurant downstairs (not owned by the hotel), Front Porch, has great food and wonderful staff. This property used to be a Crowne Plaza property and I was nervous when it seemed to have no new ownership earlier this year. I booked at another hotel, but once I saw that Sonesta took over, I changed my booking back to Z Ocean. We love the location and that all rooms have generous balconies with patio furniture. The rooms have two refrigerators - one used by the hotel for minibar items and one empty for you. There is also a drawer of non-perishable minibar items in the kitchenette area. You have a sink, dishes, utensils, drinking glasses and coffee mugs. There is either a Nespresso or Keurig in the room, also. We love the split bathroom - it's one long bathroom with sliding doors to separate the two vanity areas and the toilet (three sections) with the huge shower with multiple sprays and shower heads at one end of the bathroom. The only complaint would be the rooms could use a refresh. The sofas are not comfortable at all. The furniture overall could use some updating and it would be great to periodically check that all light fixtures are working and all knobs (for example, shower faucet knob) are in place. I'm hoping Sonesta puts a little money into this property to make it shine. During our stay this year, several team members stood out for us with their fantastic service: Daniel (manager), and front desk team Stacey, Andrea, and Serge. They took care of every little thing we needed and asked for with the sort of graciousness you would hope to receive. A really stellar team! We can't wait to get back to making this a yearly visit!
