"GREAT front desk staff—lovely, cheerful, and had fun music as you check in. The location was SUPREME! It’s walking distance from anything you can need (pier, eateries, park, bars, breweries, shopping). Would definitely stay here again. And frankly, the price was reasonable."
"My 2-day stay at the Amanzi was outstanding. My room was really spacious and included a couch, a comfortable chair and a desk. The room was very clean and comfortable.
The staff is so friendly in particular the front desk staff (especially the young Hispanic guy named Alex I think).
The breakfast buffet is top notch. The young Hispanic guy overseeing the buffet is so gregarious and makes you feel like you are a guest in a home going way above and beyond what anyone would expect.
Keep up the outstanding service. I always leave already thinking about my next stay."
"Loved my stay here! Room was clean & bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a little better than typical. Hotel was quiet & I felt safe. Very close to beach, restaurants & shopping. Free parking! Loved the balcony overlooking the harbor! Pool was very nice & heated! Was an amazing stay. I will be back!"
"This hotel is in a great place where you can park your car and never move it again.
The front desk gentleman was so kind and professional. Showed that he cared about the hotel and his guest. We enjoyed the patio and the views of the beach. Do you wish there was some kind of separation of the porches. Had other guests want to join us and if we had a separation of each porch, we might’ve had a good reason not to let them join us.
There are nice restaurants, walking distance, happy hour bars. And the ocean is two minute walk. Definitely will be back again. Loved it."
Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"Amazing experience. Offered us an upgrade for a reasonable price to a presidential suite. Very large and convenient room close to the pool and the beach. The game room off of the pool was a cool addition. The beach was very nice and almost seemed like a private beach. Food was a little pricey but very good. We will be back."
