Zanzi Resort is a lovely place where I enjoyed a blend of relaxation and adventure. The private villa was comfortable and clean, offering beautiful views and a private pool, though the beach access wasn't as pristine as I had hoped. The service had its ups and downs, with a few hiccups but overall friendly staff, and the dining options were delicious with plenty of choices. The location has a unique jungle vibe, but the beach area could be improved. Overall, a solid stay with some room for improvement.
