Found good explanation here

A "multi-zonal" cluster is a zonal cluster with at least one additional zone defined; in a multi-zonal cluster, the cluster master is only present in a single zone while nodes are present in each of the primary zone and the node locations. In contrast, in a regional cluster, cluster master nodes are present in multiple zones in the region. For that reason, regional clusters should be preferred.
