Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita, in a class all it's own

This was our second trip to Zoetry and certainly will not be our last. We have been to many all-inclusive resorts over the years but Zoë try brings it to a whole new level. From the time you step off the plane the Zoetry experience starts. You are taken to the resort in a private car complete with champagne (included). Once at the resort you are greeted with a warm hello's and taken right away to your suite for check in. There is no standing in lines waiting your turn. The 1 bedroom suites are very large with 2 rooms, the bedroom with a balcony and a living room with a large terrace both with ocean views. This is one of the many reason we love it here, every room has an ocean view. I love waking up, lying in bed looking out at the ocean.

The resort itself is very beautiful, with gardens, ponds, and trees surrounding the paths and common ground. Where other places play music around the pool here you listen to the sound of the ocean, the wind in the palm trees, and the Macaw's. 

The morning walk

Marco & his birds

The food is great. We were worried the first time we came we may get tired of just having 3 restaurants to dine in but the menu has so many choices and everything is so delicious this was not a problem. Some resorts say they have gourmet cuisine, food here really is gourmet.

Peppi,Fredricko, & Eric

The thing that impresses me most about this resort is the service. I have never meet a staff that is more professional, friendly, happy, and hardworking then those here. Each person takes pride in their work and it really shows. Many of them were here 2 years ago when we were here. The staff here is one of the things that make this place so special. Thank you to Peppi, Eric, Miguel, Fredricko, & Antonio who keep us happy all day. Rudy who was always checking with us to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks to Tonya for her warm smile every morning, Carlos who makes the best drinks and everyone else who made our time here so wonderful.

Rudy always happy

Gourmet dining at Zoetry Paraiso de la Bontia

One of the many things we love about Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita is the dining. We have been to many all inclusive resorts with good food but dining here an amazing experience. Every meal is full of flavor and cooked to perfection.

Kaax is open for breakfast, lunch, & dinner. 

                

Breakfast at Kaax is a relaxing way to start the day. There are many great dishes to choose. Enjoy fresh fruit prepared to order while looking out over the ocean and sipping a mimosa.

Some mornings they even have a harp player.

Eggs all different styles -  Huevos Mexican

  

 Huervos Motulenos

 

Temazcal Ceremony Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita

Temazcal is an ancient sweat bath or sweat lodge first used by the Aztecs. 

For hundreds of years, it has been used as a way to purify, cleanse, & heal the mind, body, & spirit.

 The temazcal here is a small round stone structure. The ceremony preformed by a real Shaman. 

This ceremony is done here every other day. 

It is one on the many extra things that is included with your stay here at Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita.

 

It is a unique experience & one not to miss. 

Marina La Bonita

                           

Yesterday we chartered the Pez La Bonita II for the day, with captain Martin & mate Anselmo.
                             

 It was a great way to see the coast line as we went from our resort down to Playa del Carmen. 

Along the way we stopped just off the Maroma Beach for some of the best snorkeling we have ever done here in the Riviera Maya. So many different kinds of fish & colors.

At one point it looked like a underwater aquarium.  Anselmo snorkeled with us showing us many things we may have missed on our own.
 
                            

Waking in Paradise

Love my mornings here, wake up to be greeted by the sun rising over the ocean. Every morning it's spectacular site.

                                           

                                    Breakfast on your terrace listening to the ocean

                               Start the day with Pranayama Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Great to be back at Zoetry Paraiso De La Bonita

"Welcome home" is what we are greeted with when arriving at Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita & I feel as if we are. It's been 2 years since our last visit & so many familiar faces. Where we are living for the next week in the Nairobi suite on the 3rd floor with incredible views of the ocean. When I walked in I remember how much I loved being able it see the ocean just about every place you go even the shower has a view. 
  It is good to be back.

Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita

They say all good things come to an end and today that was true for us. Today we had to say goodbyes to all the wonderful people we have meet over our stay and to leave Zoetry Parasio de la Bonita
    We really enjoyed every aspect of this resort. It truly lives up to its name paradise of the pretty. Each day I discovered something new. A garden I hadn’t seen before, a peacock under a palm tree, or a different type of massage at the spa. Our eyes never tired of looking around at all the beauty that surrounded us.
   We had the pleasure of meeting the owners Carlos and Elisa Gosselin. We learned the architect and decorations around the resorts was designed from their travels. Each suite is named for a place in the world they have been and each suite is decorated with unique items from those places.  Ours was Phnom phen which I learned is the capital of Cambodia. In talking to them Elisa told me she wanted a place people could feel as comfortable as being home. We certainly feel they have achieved this. Thank you both for sharing this wonderful place.
 We have had the opportunity to travel to many different places over the years and this resort is one we will certainly be coming back to.
  The staff here is great. Everyone is friendly, greeting you with a smile, and ready to help you with anything. Yesterday Rudy helped put together a shopping trip for us. Eric helped us every day on the beach with towels, chairs, and drinks.We even got drinks served to us while in the ocean, now that's service. Peppy knew the wine we liked and always had a bottle for us. Roberto & Francesco were our waiters most nights. Miguel is not only knowledgeable about tequila he is also the sommelier. We enjoyed his selections for us. At the Marina Miguel always had a smile and ready to help you with any water sport you want to do. Jacqui our activities manager had something different for us to do each day.
There are so many others as well. We enjoyed getting to know them as well.
Thanks to everyone for making our stay wonderful. It was sad to say goodbye but we will come home again soon to see you all again.
