Real Honeymoon: Dominican Republic & St Thomas




Mike and Dana were lucky enough to spend 1 week in the Dominican Republic and 1 week in St Thomas for their honeymoon.  They started at a luxury, boutique, all inclusive resort called Zoetry Agua in Punta Cana.  Then they flew to St Thomas and spent a week at the Ritz Carlton.  I hope you enjoy reading about their amazing honeymoon!

 1. How did you decide on this destination?

We liked the pictures of the Zoetry Agua, in Punta Cana, and knew we wanted to stay there.  After that, we picked St. Thomas because it was close to Dominica Republic and looked fun and different. 



 2. Did you like where you stayed?

We liked St. Thomas better than Dominican Republic. 

 3. What did you think about the destination? 

Dominican Republic was very nice.  The Zoetry is an all-inclusive resort, and it was very relaxing and beautiful.  However, there’s absolutely nothing to do there (other than lay out), so after about 4 days of laying out and reading, we were bored and ready to try something new.  St. Thomas was just as beautiful as Dominican Republic, and there was more to do – watersports, shopping, restaurants, etc.



4. What was your favorite part of your honeymoon? 

Taking the catamaran around St. Thomas and snorkeling. 

5. Did the hotel provide any special honeymoon perks for you? 

We got a complimentary room upgrade at Zoetry so we had a private plunge pool.  Zoetry also gave us champagne and put special flowers on our bed and in our bathtub.  The Ritz gave us chocolates and champagne.



6. Do you have any suggestions for other couples going on a similar honeymoon?

Yes, I would say that it was good that we went to Dominican Republic first, and relaxed for a few days.  It was nice to do nothing after the wedding and just decompress.  Then, it was fun to go to St. Thomas where there’s a little more to do.  We went for two weeks total.  I would recommend going somewhere where you can relax for 3-4 days and then do something fun after that.  I would also say that 2 weeks is a little bit long – if we could do it over again we’d do it for 10 -11 days.

7. What 3 words would you use to describe your honeymoon?

Relaxing, Needed, Expensive!  :)
