Zimbali Playa is my choice for my June and September holidays. The hotel is well managed, staff are efficient and friendly. The rooms are well maintained and spacious. The pool area is large, with plenty of sun beds. The dining area has plenty of space and is well managed. Overall plenty of food options but if you are not a meat eater salads and veggies become your main course. The area is not overly commercial which suits me. Looking forward to June 27 Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Playazimbali Hotel, responded to this review Dear Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.We are delighted that you found great value in your stays with us, and it means a lot that you choose Zimbali Playa for both your June and September holidays.Our team takes real pride in running the hotel well, so your kind words about their efficiency and friendliness are truly appreciated. We are also glad you enjoyed the spacious rooms and felt comfortable with how well they are maintained.The pool area is a highlight for many of our guests, and we love that you appreciated its size and the generous number of sun beds. It is equally pleasing that you found the dining space well organised and easy to enjoy.That said, we are sorry that the vegetarian options fell short of what you were hoping for. Our buffet showcases a wide range of dishes, and our chefs are always happy to help guests find satisfying choices, so please feel free to speak with them during your next visit.Nonetheless, we are pleased that the quieter, less commercial setting suits your style perfectly. Knowing you are already looking forward to June 27 brings a smile to our faces.We hope to welcome you back. Best wishes,Luisa PiñeroPlayazimbali Hotel, Manager

Bar staff not impressed with our attempt to converse with them in simple Spanish... no need to push the queue if you are Spanish they ignore the people from other European countries..Watch the lifts I got stuck in one the last day.. the food although supposed to being hot all Luke warm chips pizza the meats everything... nothing really to do unless we took a taxi down the coast.. would not recommend this hotel for uk travlers Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Playazimbali Hotel, responded to this review Dear Chris,Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent visit.We are truly sorry to hear that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations.Our team strives to offer a warm welcome to every guest, and we regret that you felt overlooked during your time at the bar. Hospitality and fairness are values we hold dear, so your remarks about service interactions and queue management have been noted with care.Regarding your dining observations, we are sorry that the cuisine did not live up to what you anticipated. Our buffet features live cooking stations and a broad selection of dishes, and our kitchen team is always ready to accommodate specific requests during meal services. As for leisure, we understand that the range of onsite entertainment may have felt limited for you. In addition to our themed pool with slides, we offer a full programme of activities through our Delfi Club, fitness room, and spa, and our location on the beach provides direct access to the coast without needing transport.We do hope to be able to welcome you back for a better experience. Best wishes,Luisa PiñeroPlayazimbali Hotel, Manager

Great location, great staff, pity about the food.
20 Jul 2026
My 3rd visit and as ever, the hotel delivers everything that I need. Yes, there are some maintenance issues but overall the facilities are good. The food is certainly not to 4 star standard, which I can say being an experienced and frequent traveller. The presentation of the food is not great and the quality of food is lacking. What is standout for the hotel is its location and friendliness of its staff. Being right on the beach is great. I didn't use the pool as there were no sunbeds available and it was full of noisy children, but that is to be expected from a family orientated hotel. At the time of my travel I th8nk that I may have been the only, or 1 of very few Brits. It is highly frequented Spanish guests.If I return to Vera again, I shall re book here. Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Playazimbali Hotel, responded to this review Dear Ap, Thank you for reviewing your visit to our hotel.We’re thrilled to hear our team’s warmth and the convenience of our facilities made your third stay enjoyable. Knowing returning guests like you feel well cared for motivates us daily.That said, we sincerely regret some aspects fell short. Your feedback on dining quality and presentation has been shared with our culinary team for review. We also note your comments on maintenance and pool availability, while our beachfront location draws many families, we’ll explore ways to balance comfort for all guests.Nonetheless, we’re delighted our prime setting by the sea left a lasting impression. Your intention to return is the greatest endorsement we could hope for.Thank you again for your feedback; we hope you will return for a more enjoyable stay. Kind regards,Luisa PiñeroPlayazimbali Hotel, Manager

Spanish hotel - Good food/drinks - More 3 Star
06 Jun 2026
Room 4/5The room I received was large and spacious. Lots of storage options such as a wardrobe and a safe. The housekeeping was very good and cleaned every day. Towels replenished and bed sheets also.The reason for deducting 1 star is because whilst the room itself is decent. I don’t think it reflects a 4 star property. The bedside lamps flicker (Room 214) on the reading lamp and there are some scuffs and marks on the furniture. Also the balcony furniture is worn and could do with replacing. (If this was a 3 star hotel I would seem acceptable) Food and drink 4/5Very good selection of food and drinks. All inclusive drinks are branded spirits and soft drinks such as Pepsi and Absolut vodka. The food in the restaurant is average. In terms of selection very good. However the way it is presented in metal dishes is not how to present 4 star food. Staff 4/5Staff at this hotel are great. Very conversational even with limited English spoken. Before anyone starts, I knew this was a Spanish hotel and it was actually the reason I booked as I know some Spanish phrases and like to practice my language! You are in Spain so give it a go! My reason for a 1 star deduction is that my room key kept deactivating multiple times a day and the response at the reception was slow and laboured. I didn’t receive a real apology. Just that it happens and they gave me 2 cards in case it did happen again.Overall 4/5Room for improvement - but overall pretty good and I would return Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Playazimbali Hotel, responded to this review Dear Daniel,We appreciate you sharing your comments with us.We’re glad you found your room spacious and appreciated the ample storage options. Our housekeeping team works diligently to maintain cleanliness, and we’re pleased you noticed their daily efforts.That said, we sincerely regret that aspects of your room’s maintenance and technical hiccups affected your comfort. We’re reviewing these points to ensure smoother experiences for future guests.Nonetheless, it’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed our diverse food and drink selections. Your praise for our staff’s welcoming approach motivates us to keep fostering genuine connections with guests.We do hope that you will return on another occasion.

??? Are we ZOO? Birds flying along restaurant? Near food?? Seriously? Even in Egypt is more clean - no birds - at restaurants!!! Don't you know birds transfer viruses etc?? This is 3rd class hotel, for sure 4stars is at least 3 too much. Hotel- cmanager, Owner at Playazimbali Hotel, responded to this review Dear Marcin,It is disheartening to learn that we fell short of your expectations.We’re glad our beachfront location provided convenient access to natural parks and local attractions, a feature many guests find valuable.However, we sincerely apologize that your experience fell short in some areas. Your observations about the restaurant environment have been carefully noted, and we’re reinforcing our hygiene protocols to prevent similar concerns. While we stand by our service standards, we regret any perception that didn’t align with your expectations and will review this internally.We hope to see you again for a more enjoyable experience.Best wishes,Luisa PiñeroPlayazimbali Hotel, Manager
