This was our second stay at this resort. We love its quiet ambience, the friendliness of the staff, the large accommodations. However, we found that our food did not always come to the table hot, and the meat was often overcooked. And while I certainly do not want to be rushed at meal time, the service was perhaps a little too relaxed, with long waits between courses. In addition, and this was the same as last year, the exercise room has absolutely no a/c coming out of the vents. Consequently, it is stuffy, musty, and uninviting. Equipment is ok, but minimal for a top class resort. These concerns were passed on directly to the general manager, who assured me they would be taken care of.
First of all, this is a beautiful property and first class service and meals. However (this is not a negative) this is a very quiet, adult resort. Most of the people there were couples in their 40’s or 50’s or small groups of 2-3 ladies. No pool side music or games or the usual flair at most area resorts. The restaurant options were limited to 3 with all table service- no quick buffets to grab and go. Hours were somewhat limited for mealtimes as well. Like I said, none of this is necessarily a negative it’s just something to be aware of. We didn’t take advantage or some of the resort unique benefits like the catamaran or scuba trips so other people may have a different experience. One night we ventured over to the nearby Breathless resort (that place was a stark contrast). The staff at Zoetry was awesome and the meals were the best we had at any amr resort. The rooms are huge and well appointed. …
My husband and I arrived New Years day after a long flight and were ready to unwind. This is the first time we have traveled at this time so the warmth in January was a welcome new sensation. The arrival was lovely and thorough and the room was lovely. All it promises on the site. Service is excellent. All the staff...clean team, wait staff, hosts, bar staff...the lot. Even the guy who was pest control was always smiling and giving us warm "Bis a bel"s when we crossed paths. Room is great, food is very good and the pool staff were some of the most attentive I have run across in my 55 years. There were some little hiccups but not worth mentioning. I have seen reviews from people saying the beach was full of seaweed...not on our stay. A full staff raked the beach from dawn to dusk as well as used a machine that ran up and down the beach so not sure where that other review was coming from? Another review was portions are too small. Not true. Portions were perfect. It's all inclusive, if you want more, order another dish...The one thing that should be noted is that it is very quiet. Zoetry is about focusing on your calm and wellness. If you want late nights, night clubs, loud pool activities and games and endless shots, go to Breathless. We welcomed the serenity and still met loads of great folks, had plenty of evening sessions with our new friends and even managed a little hang over or two. The excursions you can book through the Bonita group on site are worth it. Book your excursions by the pool as they are cheaper than booking with the tour company on site. Bottom line, it was good value for money and I have wonderful memories that will entice me to book again. Thanks to the great staff...had a great time! It was my 55th birthday as well and got a beautiful presentation in my room and nice treats in the restaurant as well.…
the room was nice but room service took one hour plus to serve you. the mini bar i had to call two and three time to get it filled, the a/c did not work good. the beach had sand mites and was dirty,the food was hit or miss, the spa was way over priced and they did not tell you about the club member discount. they had kids at the resort,there was no adult only or club member's area,the seating at the poolside bar and grill was for little kids table was low to the floor and the seat was a wood stump very uncomfortable. there was nothing special about this place i could have stayed at the lowest brand sunscape and had a better time. the new years party was for little kids the place was empty by 10:45 pm..worse vacation i have ever been on..
If you just want to relax, this is the place. Very nice rooms and just a place to not do much. Very good food though there are only 2 restaurants so this was only a 3 night stay for us which worked well. We would have been bored with the food if we stayed longer. No real evening entertainment outside or on the television. Service was a bit slow. A beautiful location.
