Zoetry Curacao - Review

Accomodations: 4/5

The resort is delightfully intimate with only 72 rooms, making it feel cozy yet luxurious. Recently renovated, each room offers a blend of modern aesthetics with island charm, ensuring comfort and style. Though it’s not beachfront, a quick 2-minute golf cart ride takes you to Dreams, where you have full access to a stunning beach. Perfect for travelers seeking a private, exclusive atmosphere with cozy yet luxurious comforts.

Dining: 4/5

With two restaurants featuring rotating menus, the dining experience is consistently delightful. Special mentions go to the pumpkin soup at Bloom and the barbeque night at Botanica. You also have full access to all Dreams restaurants, but Zoëtry’s food is top-notch. Exploring the culinary scene here becomes an adventure of its own, offering both local flavors and international delights.

Pool: 3/5

There’s only one pool, beautiful and uncrowded—ideal for relaxation. However, the absence of a swim-up bar or pool/beach waiters at Zoëtry or Dreams impacts the convenience factor. Despite this, the serene atmosphere makes it a haven for tranquil reflection and leisure.

Beach Experience: 4/5

While not beachfront, the quick ride to Dreams offers you the luxury of a small, stunning beach with clear waters teeming with vibrant tropical fish, ideal for snorkeling and swimming.

Staff: 5/5

Exceptional service elevates the experience. Jayson at the lobby bar, Latoya at the pool bar, and Alexander, the golf cart driver, embody warmth and dedication, transforming each encounter into something special.
