El Jardin de Zaida Managed by HII

Hi Team, Definitely will go back to this wonderful paradise! This place is amazing, every one of the staff is very courteous, approachable and very humble. From the receptionist sorry i didn’t get the chance to get the names, to nathan, staff in the restaurant, amor from the spa, kuya who assisted us to pick the calamansi and i think the manager that is very approachable and give the best and feel us home. We celebrated my father’s birthday. My parents was really happy with the place I chose and they say they want to go back and make el jardin a place where they want to rest. The food is amazing too, pandan juice and the place it self. Overall we really have an amazing and wonderful stay in el jardin. We will surely go back. Kudos to all the staff of this paradise el jardin.

Place was great if you want to relax. Very quiet not crowded and food was great.

We spent our New Year celebration at El Jardin De Zaida for the first time, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the luxurious suite to the warm and accommodating staff, everything was exceptional. With only a few rooms available, the atmosphere felt intimate and perfect for a special celebration. The buffet dinner, countdown, fireworks display, and champagne toast were beautifully organized, making the night magical. The resort offers more than just its impressive swimming pools (the infinity pool is massive!). Guests can also enjoy kalamansi picking, biking, or simply relaxing on the spacious lawn. Their restaurant is a hidden gem! Every dish we tried—whether for lunch, merienda, or dinner—was delicious, with well-balanced flavors that weren’t overly salty. A special shoutout to Mhai and the restaurant team for their excellent service. One minor inconvenience was navigating the resort. Getting to the lobby felt a bit like a maze as there are no direct pathways from the rooms, so you have to pass through the main driving area or one of the halls. Hopefully, this can be improved in the future. Overall, it was an amazing way to welcome the New Year, and we can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing Weekend Getaway Everything was good.. the place has a very relaxing feels, staff are accommodating... location is not far from Manila.. Overall ambience is great!

We have been to El Jardin twice already. This resort is worth the drive from Manila. It feels like you have your own resort exclusive to you because of the large grounds and the spacious villas. There is also an in house spa with a Japanese garden which offers affordable premium spa packages. The resort has very nice furniture and pottery pieces.

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.
