El Jardin de Zaida Managed by HII

Always giving you a relax staycation. Bonus in this trip is the food that’s always mouthwatering.

Place was an oasis gifted with great amenities (infinity pool, cozy bar, huts where one can read/hangout). Stayed for 2 nights. Staff are courteous and attentive. Shout-out to my fave bartender (Dennis) for his Frozen margarita, Calamansi mojito, red sangria. I love the food- my wife's & my faves: baked mussels, Gambas, sisig, mushroom salpicao style. Though, our room was not made-up when we came back from the beach. But, was quickly responded by sending fresh towels, etc as we opted not have our beds remade. Overall, we love the place and will plan to go back.

We recently visited at the El Hardin de Zaida for an overnight stay with mom and my aunt and I can say it was all pleasant. The place was a gated property at the border of Laiya and San Juan. Check-in procedures were great and we had a special treat of being upgraded to the premium stay which gave us access to the exclusive pool that is adjacent to our hotel room. For the room, it was clean and spotless one but the vanity desk didn't have a mirror in front of it. The bathroom was nice. It had a drying rack, a bidet but the shower needs a bath mat to prevent guests from unnecessary accidents. Food was splendid. Late lunch, an evening at Rudy's and the breakfast. One of our highly considered decisions for choosing El Hardin de Zaida was the Spa. Prior to the trip, we called the place to ask if we needed to book a reservation for the therapy but we were told that we can avail the services on the spot. When we arrived, we were told that there was only one therapist available. We were three. Therefore, it would be impossible for us to avail 2.5 hours worth of wellness services all together. We hope that this can be carefully addressed to prevent the guests from expecting the availability of the spa. Overall, the stay and the food was great.
