All Inclusive Resorts – Zoetry Resorts

Written By: Geoff Millar, Owner – Ultimate All Inclusive Vacations

 

 

This month we are going to begin our travels through the AM Resort Chain.  The first set of AM resorts we are going to look at are the 5 star boutique Zoetry wellness Resorts.  These are small boutique style resorts that cater to the busy stressed out executives and their families.  They tend to be quieter resorts focusing on relaxation, great food, and top-shelf drinks. These resorts are also small enough that Destination wedding parties can book the whole resort for just their wedding party. Remember that Zoetry Resorts allow children but charge children the adult rate. This tends to keep the number of children to a minimum. The Zoetry Resorts are also wellness resorts with a focus on healthy living from several aspects. Guests are free to participate in all wellness programs or just do their own thing. Zoetry Resorts are located in Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic on beautiful beaches and private settings. 

 

ZOETRY PARAISO DE LA BONITA 

The first Zoetry we are going to look at is the one in the Riviera Maya region of Mexico, the Zoetry Paraiso De La Bonita.  This resort is a luxurious AAA 5 Dimond rated resort providing Holistic Wellness, Tranquility, and Romance with gourmet dining, and top-shelf drinks all on one of the best beaches in the area. 

 

Accommodations consist of 100 individually decorated 1 and 2 bedroom Suites located along the beach. Each Suite is decorated in decors from around the world incorporating art, textiles, high thread count sheets, vases and chairs from such countries as, Mexico, Mediterranean, African, and Oriental.
