Utz Tzaba is a beautiful resort with an amazing pool bar and beautiful beach front. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I loved that they came to our room to make sure we didn't want dinner before the restaurant closed. Not to mention it was pouring rain. The room service was quick and the food is delicious. I have...

Let me start by saying that the bar-pool area is great and the ocean view makes it better. Drinks are served at the pool after 9:00 pm to midnight unless it's busy but if you want drinks, you can get served while your enjoying the pool or tanning. The restaurant is nice, food and drinks good, reasonable prices. I was... More

We just returned from a weekend at Utz Tzaba Beach Hotel, and it was wonderful. The pool is perfect for children, particularly smaller children, and with the swim-up bar and restaurant, there isn't much need to leave the area. A few tips: as soon as you arrive, request fresh fish, which the hotel will purchase for your dinner that night... More

Nice hotel, swimming pool and bar, fair prices for dinner and drinks. Lousy management. They couldn't fix anything. We arrived at 21.00 pm and it was quite impossible to fix us a sandwich! Monterico has almost nothing to offer during the week. Hotel is quite far situated from the town center.

Hello Dabe, I´m sorry you arrived at the hotel when the restaurant was already closed, as far as I remember we went to town, which as you said is quite far, to bring pizzas for you and we openned the bar for you (even though it was also closed). Monte Rico is a little town with a lot of nature,... More

After travelling for almost for a month we finally arrived to Monterico and Utz Tzaba. Our room was not ready when we arrived so we changed to our swimsuits and went to the pool. Pool area with ocean view and pool bar was so nice that we did not actually need our room until the afternoon. Room was spacious and... More

The hotel staff is very kind and service oriented, because it is a small hotel they offer personalized service. The pool area is very nice, although a bit small specially if there are many kids around, but nice design with lovely view to the ocean. Cocktails are well done and the food is good :D. The hotel also has a... More

We came to Monterrico many times and each time, we come back to Utz Tzaba. Well maintained, clean hotel, exellent management and good food.

I have stayed at Utz Tzaba a few times, and every time, I am pleased with the hotel. The location is great - right on the beach. The rooms are pretty basic, but comfortable and clean. There are no TV's in the rooms, the internet is only available in the lobby and rarely works, there is no business center, or... More
