Summary of reviews related to the 'Rooftop Pool' category
Hotel Zena's rooftop bar and pool offer amazing views and is definitely worth checking out. The rooftop pool is lovely and a highlight after a day of sightseeing. The food at the rooftop restaurant is also great and provides a very nice view. However, getting reservations for the restaurant was impossible through the website. Some guests were disappointed that the rooftop is only available for those who patronize the restaurant or pool and that the rooftop bar/pool closed too early in the season. Despite this, the rooftop bar and pool are gorgeous and provide amazing views. The only negative aspect was the fact that staying guests couldn't use the pool just for the scenery. Overall, the rooftop pool and bar are a must-see for anyone staying at Hotel Zena, along with its La Terraza.
