Zoetry Resort... Over Rated IMHO
In July, the reggae loving pair ventured back home to Jamaica for Reggae Sumfest 2018. We were only in Montego Bay, Jamaica for four days and three nights and stayed at the Montego Bay Zoetry Resort. This resort is branded as the top of the line for the Unlimited Vacation Club Amstar resorts. The resort has a healthy lifestyle focus and this particular one centered around water, wood, and fire. You are assigned a butler upon arrival and are supposed to have a bottle of champagne and fruit in your room daily. The resort is quaint with only has 49 or 50 rooms and two small 3' pools. The beach at the resort is small and has quite a bit of coral and grass so you can't just walk into the water and swim. There was a long pier with stairs that you can walk on and watch the sunset as well as jump off and swim at the end. There is a perfect area to swim without coral reef.
The pier was lovely and quite romantic.
Overall, we had an amazing time in Jamaica and enjoyed the peace and quiet. We met our butler upon arrival but didn't see him at all after that. Additionally the one day we did receive our bottle of champagne, we didn't open our bottle so they took it back. The resort was not staffed appropriately. They were quite understaffed and you did not have the bar staff walking around as often as most Amstar resorts. The restaurants also took longer to prepare your food but it was cooked to order so it was fresh. We didn't mind this too much as our views were amazing while we waited.
This is a perfect spot for a solo trip or a trip where you just want to rest and do nothing. I don't think we will go back to this resort though. It was definitely not our cup of tea. Maybe one day when we are old and gray and less mobile. ;-)
