I wouldn't stay at this location again. It was clean and quiet, minus the airplanes. It is very laid back but it is geared for those that would rather spend time outside rather than inside. And those that dont mind dining with cats constantly watching and begging for food.

Staff Truly phenomenal. Every team member we encountered was kind, eager, and supportive. Their professionalism and warmth absolutely made this trip worthwhile. Atmosphere The grounds and setting were stunning and peaceful — while needed minor updates, it was exactly what we had hoped for. Bar & Beverages While the bar staff were wonderful, the beverage program was disappointing. Nearly all drinks were made with basic overly sweet juices. At a wellness-focused resort in the Caribbean, we expected fresh fruit and fresh juice-based cocktails to be available. Even in the evenings, options were so limited that we often defaulted to straight spirits. The liquor selection itself was also very restricted. Additionally, the only drink menu was hidden within the app, which staff were generally unaware of. Expanding the beverage program to feature fresh, local ingredients would be a huge improvement. Food Jerky Joe’s: Excellent — fresh, delicious, and consistently enjoyable. Breakfast: Generally good, though several items were often unavailable or served differently than described. Lunch: Some meals were flavorful, others quite bland. Dinner: The rotating themed menus were nice to see, and many dishes were really nice; wihile others quite lacking. Dinner was also the only time we could get a dessert like treat. however, was very limited. Room Service: Inconsistent. Items arrived differently than described (e.g., a salad came with completely different ingredients than listed). The app listed 24-hour room service, but when we called at 6 a.m. we were told it was closed. Polo Bar/Restaurant: Rarely open. When it was, access was limited (e.g., reserved for filming), or the space appeared unstaffed and unstocked — almost used as storage. Coco Café: Coffee was very good, but baked goods were minimal, often stale, and most days the display was empty. Overall, while staff were consistently excellent, the food and beverage program needs a complete rework. More fresh, varied, and reliable options would transform the experience. The staff clearly have the capability — they just need the resources and support to deliver on the resort’s full potential. Other Observations Our package included a beach bag which wee did not get. Also daily sparkling wine/ fresh fruit were included but We only received these on arrival, with no refresh afterward. The lobby is a beautiful, underutilized space. Occasional programming, such as live piano or small events, could bring it to life. Especially considering there is nowhere to go, following dinner. Staff Highlights Several individuals truly stood out: Shadrick — Pleasant, professional, and genuine. Barbara — Warm, calming, and kind. Benson — Approachable and full of knowledge, like reconnecting with a longtime friend. Youlan (spelling may be off) — Respectful, engaging, and approachable. Ramona — Our butler, who was informative and helpful during her hours. Read less

Had a great experience at the Zoetry Mongego Bay. Ignore some of the negative comments on here. Their is nothing the hotel can do about it being too windy (it wasn't on our trip) or blaming them for booking the wrong room! It has always been my practice to deal with any issues personally at the time rather than complain online afterwards, when nothing can be done. We had excellent service during our stay with the best hotel experience you could imagine. Nothing was too small or difficult for the staff. The beach resort is wonderful. Very peaceful. I would certainly recommend staying here and would not hesitate on a return visit myself. Read less

Sep 3, 2025 Ali B

Beautiful, quiet resort but staff acts like they are inconvenienced by you at every turn. Extremely slow service, nothing and no one is on time, and there are people who are trying to sell you their goods and bother you very persistently every time you walk by.

The whole experience. When we first arrived check in was smooth the buttler was polite & helpful & we offered a non alcoholic drink which was amazing. We went to our room & the room wasnt what we purchased. When we came back down to address the issue, the manager (a woman) lied and told us the room booked we asked for a “private pool” & “pool” in jamaica means tub. I said so if i didnt pay for a private “tub” people would watch me in the tub? She said no. My gf requested to upgrade the room to a “swim out room” she said all 46 or 49 rooms were booked & she couldnt accomodate us. We were right over the swim out room the whole trip & no one was in none of the swim out rooms underneath us. The manager lied. The bar doesnt open until 10am which doesnt make sense for a vacation. Room service for lunch or dinner takes 2hrs. The bartending staff (Ms. barbara) & the lady who cooked at “jerky joes” was amazing. The management staff was HORRIBLE & do to this experience i will not be returning to this hotel, and i will also put the same review on google so everyone will know as well. The food was amazing! The room Was beautiful. But management is a mess & i cant spend my money at an establishment like this. Tv wasnt working & had to keep requesting assistance. The housekeeping staff was amazing bartender ms barbara amazing! Jerky joes! Amazing! See below the empty swim out room we requested to upgrade to & the management team said it was booked. Read less
