Ever After Honeymoons Blog

Riviera Maya is one of my favorite places in Mexico to send couples, so here we have another beautiful honeymoon adventure at the beautiful Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita. John & Cindi really took advantage of what the hotel had to offer, from tequila tastings & cooking classes to catamaran rides & kayaking, and they had an absolute blast! Here’s what John & Cindi had to say about their honeymoon.

Where did you go? Riviera Maya, Mexico

What resort did you stay in? Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita

Why did you decide to honeymoon in Mexico and how did you come to this decision? We chose Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita because it seemed to have everything we were looking for in a honeymoon and then some! It felt like it was one of the more luxurious choices we saw in the Caribbean and we loved going in to the trip knowing the experience was ‘all inclusive’ and we definitely couldn’t wait to enjoy all of the things that the ‘honeymoon package’ had to offer. The in-room plunge pool helped our decision too ☺

What was your favorite part about Zoetry? We loved all of the different activities offered at the resort (cooking classes, yoga, tequila tasting, Mayan rituals, releasing baby sea turtles into the ocean and MORE). Also, one very special thing about this resort is how extremely nice and enthusiastic the people who worked there were. They went out of their way to make sure that you had everything you could possibly want or need and made a point to learn our names, remember our favorite food and drinks – that made it very personal and special! Oh and we loved the daily fresh sushi bar…. Sorry, that was three favorite parts.

What did you like about Riviera Maya? The scenery was picturesque and breathtaking! The weather was perfect and it was just a short flight away!

Did you receive any special honeymoon amenities or upgrades? Yes, we chose the ‘Honeymoon in Paradise’ package which included:
— Private airport transfers with a glass of champagne and strawberries
— Unpacking and pressing service on arrival
— Large red rose floral arrangement in the suite
— Specialty spa basket in the room on arrival
— Sunrise champagne breakfast on the suit terrace
— Nightly “lavish chocolate” turn down service
— Romantic dinner on the beach
— Handmade beach bag
— Special turndown service one evening with rose petals, scented oil bubble bath and the champagne
— Specialty 80 min Couples Massage
— 10% discount on all Spa treatments
— Two hour catamaran cruise in the ocean

If you could have changed one thing about your trip, what would it be? It was great – we can’t think of a single thing! Well… maybe we would have caught at least one fish on our fishing trip but you can’t control those things, haha. I guess that’s why they call is fishing and not catching!

If you had to pick just one, what would be your favorite honeymoon memory? We really enjoyed the catamaran cruise. It was a lot of fun!

Looking back, is there anything you would tell other couples planning their honeymoon? From our perspective a quick flight to a relaxing and all inclusive resort was a great choice! We definitely underestimated how exhausted we would be after all of the activities leading up to the wedding and of course celebrating the BIG DAY! It was so nice to top off the wedding experience in a relaxed and indulgent atmosphere! We tried all the food and drinks that we could manage to enjoy and never had to worry about our wallets. This atmosphere was a nice treat after wedding planning ☺

What 3 words would you use to describe your honeymoon? Perfect, Tranquil, Indulgent
