Highly recommend staying at Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana Resort!!! The beauty of this resort took our breath away at every turn! Lush tropical landscaping with gorgeous views of the ocean made this a piece of paradise. VIP level service at every turn especially from our incredible personal concierge, Amada, who went above and beyond to make our stay special and memorable. Plus the top notch hostesses and servers at the restaurants & the beach who made us feel like family and greeted us with such joy and exuberance at each encounter. The Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana Resort is a bit of a drive from the airport but the seclusion and privacy of the beach and intimacy of a smaller resort is well worth it!
Upon arrival, we were greeted with delicious and refreshing fruit iced tea by our concierge and were given a personal tour of the property. Our jaws were constantly dropping as we took in the gorgeous pools and breathtaking views everywhere we looked.
The lobby, rooms & grounds are all so authentic in design and our room was so spacious and luxurious. We even received a complimentary beach bag! Our room had an incredible view from the private balcony, with the glass doors opening up from the bedroom we could even see straight out to the pool view upon waking up.
After our tour, we enjoyed the afternoon tea they have daily outside with pastries in the cutest setting. We felt so fancy enjoying the delicious tea with real honey and wonderful assortment of dessert from real china teacups and plates. Wonderful way to begin our trip!
The resort is all inclusive and there are a few different restaurants that rotate service each night. Some nights there is more than one restaurant open, but the menus all rotate. The food was all phenomenal! At every meal we were so sad when we got full, haha! Our first dinner was a Mediterranean style dinner with a “pizza gratin” appetizer, followed by risotto and sea bass plus a delectable chocolate cake for dessert! Some of our other favorite meals were spaghetti with clams and chicken skewers for lunch and a steak and lobster dinner with a phenomenal passion fruit chocolate tart for dessert!
Breakfast is always at the open air restaurant overlooking one of the the pools & the beach or you can get room service at any meal. We loved starting the day with pastries and fruit and they had a wonderful selections of both sweet and savory breakfast entrees. We enjoyed the omelettes, Nutella bagel and eggs in a nest!
They have several thatched roof huts on the beach which we spent ample time relaxing in and there were servers that brought you drinks or food right there to your hut. Our server even came and found us when we ventured over to the pool later. They also provided plush beach towels for your daily use.
Snorkels were available to check out as a complimentary service plus they offered other water sports or boat tours you could rent for an additional fee. We took advantage of the snorkeling and saw several schools of fish and a starfish, enjoying the many coral reefs right off the shore.
Horseback Riding on the beach was included in our package and it was incredible experience! We were in a small group but our guide made sure each couple got to be together for some photos and video during the ride.
Also included in our package was a a 20 minute complimentary couples massage at the spa, and you could add on time or other services for an additional fee. It was my husband Adam’s first massage ever and he enjoyed it! So heavenly!
They do turn down service every night in our room and laid out our slippers they provided during our stay and decorated with hibiscus petals. The grounds are just as beautiful at nighttime and lit with clay pot lanterns along the pathways.
I can’t recommend this resort enough! It felt so relaxing, personal and secluded: the perfect couples getaway! Don’t forget to ask for the iced fruit tea! Also the people there are just incredible, the staff here really made our trip top notch. We loved interacting with them and asking how to say things in Spanish and local Dominican phrases too, by the end of the trip we were all good friends!
