I also have never stayed in an AMR AI (or any AI for that matter), but I'm interested in a nice Carribean AI, so I appreciate the review. We're mostly interested in relaxing, enjoying peace and quiet, and reading by a pool/ocean under some shade. Zoetry seems to fit the bill here, glad to hear the food was pretty good.
I'd be interested in any other comparisons with Ziva (drinks, food quality?) or any other AI's you've experienced (did you visit the Zilara side in DR)?
