We found the perfect wellness vacation

Zoetry Wellness & Spa Resorts

Wellness is a pretty mainstream word now a days. I enjoy that so much!  I also feel that wellness is defined by the individual.  I personally define wellness as the big picture.  It isn't just a yoga class, HIIT class, meditation,  kale salad, green juice or the latest search for environmentally friendly goods.  It’s all of that  combined in a balance of everyday life and attainable goals.  Sometimes that balance needs a change of scenery and I’ve been looking for the ultimate wellness vacation; one with all those combinations and more. Zoetry Paraiso De La Bonita is on my radar!  I’ve done the research and I cannot wait to vacation!

I will admit I'm food focused; I mean I am a health coach so it’s all about the nutrition for me.  Looking into the menu was my first step when Zoetry got my attention.  Let me just say, I’m sold.  Locally sourced foods, organic options along with personalized options are all available.  My mouth was watering reading the menus and gourmet is just the beginning of the offerings.  Bountiful produce, juices, and fresh sushi is always nice but then I read through the menus at the restaurants a little more.  I am so intrigued  by the Roasted Salmon, Watercress Pesto, Fennel Salad, Pickled Shallot at La Canoa.  This is just a  fabulous blend of flavors quality nutrition and creativity. I can almost taste it now.  The Grouper loin in holly leaves, corn truffle and corn from Kaax sounds divine as well.  I don't eat a lot of fish but when I know it is locally sourced, I am all in!  Also, cooking in holly leaves; you had me at leaves.

There’s a program called Endless Privileges that got my attention.  It seems very all inclusive but the amenities are endless. Let me focus on the spa and the amenities a bit.  Recycled salt water pool (yes recycled, so cool), steam room, fitness center of course, every spa amenity you could ever dream of they offer.  Mud and seaweed wraps may not sound very serene to you but I say gimme those minerals.  They use marine algae and marine mud so you know it’s the best of the best.  Absorbing minerals is key for any of these treatments but if they aren't quality why would you want them on and in your body?  Wrap me in Mayan seaweed and mud now.

Now, activities.  Some people may view wellness as a relaxed environment but I want both.  What can I say, I want it all!  They offer rigorous fitness classes, hiking adventures to Mayan temples, tennis, meditation, yoga, healing sound therapy and oh yes, tequila tastings.  Talk about balance!  Many of these activities are on the beach.  Can you imagine blue water, fresh salt air watching the sunrise while you shift from down dog to up dog? Once again, sign me up! ​

Truly, Zoetry has something to offer for all wellness advocates.  It’s balance of zen, resort life, local influence and award winning amenities is giving me all the feels.  Who’s with me?  This resort is not to be missed and I’m ready for Zoetry, not Calgon, to take me away
