Blogger Review: Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita

We love to hear about personal guest experiences at Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts.  In a recent blog post, Eat Drink Travel be Happy, a popular travel blogger, shared her vacation at one of our best resorts, Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita.

Here is a quick excerpt from her review:

This was our second trip to Zoetry and certainly will not be our last. We have been to many all-inclusive resorts over the years but Zoë try brings it to a whole new level. From the time you step off the plane the Zoetry experience starts. You are taken to the resort in a private car complete with champagne (included). Once at the resort you are greeted with a warm hello’s and taken right away to your suite for check in. There is no standing in lines waiting your turn. The 1 bedroom suites are very large with 2 rooms, the bedroom with a balcony and a living room with a large terrace both with ocean views. This is one of the many reason we love it here, every room has an ocean view. I love waking up, lying in bed looking out at the ocean.

The resort itself is very beautiful, with gardens, ponds, and trees surrounding the paths and common ground. Where other places play music around the pool here you listen to the sound of the ocean, the wind in the palm trees, and the Macaw’s.

To Love or Not to Love – That is Your Choice

By Guest Blogger Charles Wills

Is there a so-called love drug? Yes, it’s called Oxytocin. This hormone plays a role in causing women to want to bond with their mate which a crucial part of falling in love.

Did you know Oxytocin is under threat in our society?  Fear and stress can drastically affect this hormone and cause serious consequences. Michel Odent, the famous French obstetrician, writes in his book The Scientification of Love: “The price the human race has paid for civilization is problems with low sex drive and difficult childbirth among many other things.”

We know today that Oxytocin controls women’s estrogen and progesterone, which can help achieve happiness, love, lots of energy, restful sleep, weight loss, libido and much more. So how can we stop the stress that is putting Oxytocin (and love) at risk? It’s best to address the underlying cause of your stress rather than only treating the symptom. Start now on your road to wellness and experience true love with a vacation at Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts.
