As per my knowledge it is a good hotel. However, it is far from Beirut. It could take around one hour to get to Beirut while high traffic. Anyway, the touristic places around Zouk are Byblos (Jbeil), Tripoli, Batroun, and the Kesrwan Mountains (including the Jeita Grotto, Our Lady of Harissa, etc...)
