Zoetry Marigot Bay St. Lucia

Zoetry Marigot Bay was spectacular. My wife and I went for our honeymoon for 7 days and it was everything we dreamed of and more. The staff there became family by the end of our trip, that’s how incredible they were. Shoutout to Nigel, Andre, Quan, Ronnel, Sonjay, Rashida, Max, Neil, and more! They were what made our trip. The resort itself was beautiful! Views were 10/10, pool 10/10, restaurants 10/10, cafe 10/10. My wife is gluten free and they had a ton of gluten free options. They were super accommodating to her GF allergy and would make things GF is they weren’t labeled as it on the menu. The cafe had GF donuts, carrot cake, banana muffins, and brownies. 14°61 restaurant had GF bread to sub in for dinner rolls. The Cove restaurant made her a GF pizza crust. Only complaint about the resort was the beach. We thought that the beach was for Zoetry guests, but it appears that it is a public beach. The beach itself is nice, there’s even roosters and hens that run around which made it entertaining. The issue was that the moment we stepped off the ferry across the bay, we were greeted by locals who tried to sell us coconut drinks, trinkets, conch shells, even marijuana (if you have children, the locals were smoking on the beach, so just a heads up there). If you say no to the coconuts or trinkets, they would come up 5/10/15 minutes later and continue to ask if you’re ready for it. We went to the beach to relax, lay in the beach chair, snorkel, read a book, and hang out but we were unable to do any relaxing because we kept getting interrupted. Overall, 10/10 experience and would most definitely go back (mainly for our new friends/family) but to enjoy the resort as well.

The staff made the overall experience great!!!! Even the driver for transportation contributed to the experience. By the way, the driver was Godfrey and he great!!!!

The team is fantastic! Butlers are amazing; front office and check in very helpful with explaining options available; restaurant staff are responsive and quick with service. This is one of the best family friendly resorts on the island.

We’ve visited a few Zoetry resorts now and this was by far the worst by a long way. It wasn’t the “welcome home” we expected. I read all the reviews before hand and I can say that they are all spot on. The resort is stunning and the location sells this place. There are too many “small issues” for this place to be five star. But it could be! I’d say go and visit for a long weekend, don’t be staying ten days like we did. To begin with, the main thing that has stuck with us is how much of an inconvenience we felt by just being there. The staff are simply miserable. We felt like saying something every day, however, didn’t want to get staff in trouble if it was a wider problem. For the service industry this is just unacceptable. The pool and swim up bar are great. Over looking the bay is incredible. However be prepared for a tired looking pool area. Mouldy sun beds the odd occasional drinks service to your sun lounger and day guests on the weekend tend to take away the exclusive vibe and overall feel. The beach is public and I enjoyed making the most of the little ferry over (takes 1minute) and the water sports available. Just be prepared to say no to anyone selling you stuff! Food. It’s simply ok. It’s simply not five star. I felt the over powering flavours perhaps were trying to cover some quality. The drinks also were not the top shelf spirits as listed, whilst they are available you had to specify which you wanted otherwise you got the basic stuff. The food that was top quality was anything local / Caribbean! That’s clearly where the passion is. The entertainment in the evening is good, when it’s on. Usually just a Thursday. If you’re lucky there is a live singer in the odd restaurant but that’s not even always mentioned in the app. Then for the activities, if you dont specify you want to do something it won’t happen! Even if you don’t know where to go because it’s not clear, it won’t happen. Room service was slow, not great quality and came under plastic rather than metal lids to keep it warm. Every time we ordered at least once thing was missing and so we just didn’t bother ordering again as it would take so long to fix the mistake. Having said that, house keeping and turn down service were great given the challenging location (lots of steps!) so that is something they do well. This sounds very negative, it’s not bad, it’s just a build up of a lot of the basics being wrong takes away from what makes this place special. I can’t get over the reception from the staff. If it wasn’t for Roshida and Ronnie and a few others we’d have made a complaint every day. Especially if you’re trying to order a drink at one of the bars in the evening, then you’re truly an inconvenience. The rooms are lovely, views are incredible but again they’re just missing some tlc. The shower shelf has clearly been repaired so many times, are first use and it basically fell to a lean similar to a ski slope. It’s just tired and all needs some tlc as said. But clean, lovely big beds, great room service, mini bar re stocked on request plus good butler service. The excursions we did via the resort (that you pay extra for) were awesome! I’m writing this review with a goal like others perhaps have, that if you address these issues this place truly will be incredible! Thank you to the staff who did make our stay memorable. To the guys who got the volley ball net out for us, for the pool. To the team who didn’t sunset cruise and organised the entertainment thank you, it was amazing!

Such a beautiful resort with very friendly and accommodating staff. Would recommend to anyone looking for a vacation.
