"I would definitely come back. It is close to a lot of great restaurants, shops, and of course, the beach. It's a quick uber ride to the more touristy part of PV if that's what you're looking for, but we LOVED Zona Romantica. The staff was kind, accommodating, and the resort is so stunning that I didn't mind staying in and being cozy on the rainy days. We made a lot of meals in the kitchen, which was a big plus. Also, the spa was wonderful!"
