This was the first stay on our honeymoon and it could not have been better! We stayed 4 nights, took amazing day trips each day and had the most comfortable, relaxing and friendly place to return to each evening. The salt pool cave is magical. The room was cute, tidy and had everything we needed. Great pool, great breakfast in the mornings. There’s even a delightful ice cream shop. I don’t think it could have been better!

Had a wonderful experience at Hotel Zenti'k in Villadolid. A beautiful oasis in a charming town. Amazing art murals throughout the hotel. Beautifully designed intimate hotel. We stayed in the room above the pool which was large and beautifully decorated. Loved the cave pool and other amenities including live music. Very romantic! Restaurant and hospitality was first class! One of the best unique hotel experiences we have had. If you are anywhere close it's a must stay.

Amazing hotel! I would not stay here for only one night, but only because I would rather have stayed longer! Service was lovely. The lady at the front desk showed us around all of the fun amenities and provided us with welcome tequila shots (hibiscus tea if you don’t drink). The food was fantastic—I especially loved the pollo con mole! The art is lovely, there is turtle nursery that is SO cute, a a very cool watch tower, and more. I especially love that the pools (the cave and conventional pool) are 24/7. This made it so even though we stayed for only one night, we could still enjoy these very cool amenities! We were in a mini junior suite with a king bed. The room was small. I take no issue with that, but some people might so just be aware. There is no TV which again, is not an issue for me, but maybe it is for someone else. All in all, I have no complaints about this hotel. I can confidently say, I will stay here again next time I am in Valladolid!

This hotel is an absolute eco winner. Staff was extremely friendly and always in a good mood, I had the feeling they really enjoy working there. The rooms are very spacious and pretty, shampoo etc was all organic. The garden is full of free turtles and overall very cute and well taken care. The spa aka salt cave is very relaxing and I highly recommend doing the morning sound healing with Alejandro. It was a great great experience for a very fair price! The only little minus is that at our stay it was quite noisy in the morning because of a nearby street. But overall: go there - enjoy :)

Great place! We were especially impressed by their cave pool – the hot spring pool under the rocks was an amazing experience after a long day exploring Valladolid and the nearby attractions. The rooms are stylish, although it would be nice to have at least one wardrobe or a small cabinet. The hotel is a bit further from the city center, but a taxi costs only a few euros. The staff are very helpful, regardless of whether you leave a tip or not. The breakfast is excellent, and at one point we even got to enjoy a live music performance ;) We highly recommend this hotel.
