We recently stayed at Zoëtry Marigot Bay in St. Lucia and while the property itself is absolutely beautiful, the service unfortunately did not live up to the 5-star expectations.
The setting is stunning — Marigot Bay is peaceful and picturesque, and the resort grounds are well maintained. The atmosphere is relaxing and intimate, which we really appreciated.
However, the service consistently fell short. Restaurant service was very slow — it often took a long time for someone to come to our table, even longer to receive drinks, and meals felt drawn out because of delays. Multiple menu items were unavailable throughout our stay, which was frustrating, especially at an all-inclusive resort where you expect full access to what’s listed.
For a property marketed as luxury and all-inclusive, the experience felt surprisingly money-focused. We tried tipping at the beginning of service to see if that would improve attentiveness, but unfortunately it did not make a noticeable difference.
Overall, the location and beauty of the resort are undeniable, but the service experience did not reflect a true 5-star standard. With improvements in attentiveness, consistency, and menu availability, this could truly match the luxury experience it advertises.
