Went with my teens daughters for the first time last year. Blew us away. I've been to Cancun over 20 times. This is truly the best of the best. Food, service and location are amazing. Going back again in 40 days for 8 nights.
Such a helpful video as I’m thinking of going here with my family and two kids - so great to see the level of quality at the resort as well as the food recommendations. Thanks so much for all of the great videos! Love the Hyatt ones especially as I’m a globalist but enjoy seeing all the tours!
Thank you for the video. I loved that you went every inch of the resort and gave detailed reviews. I’ll be going to Ziva soon and you’re video was so helpful showing my mom who will be joining me this time.
@@JacksonJetsetting I am looking for a room which have balcony and have a swimming right in front. Do you have any adult resorts recommendation? Thanks.
My hubby and i are Nighthawks. Not looking for anything too crazy but would like to dance and party some nights and relax on others. What time does everything shut down? We don't ever under any circumstances want to be told to quiet lol and we love night swims in the ocean. Does hyatt ziva allow for this? Thank you so much for your review!
They have a nightclub that goes later and of course there is a ton of nightlife very close off property. Night swims are probably officially discouraged but doubt you’ll have issues swimming!
Hi! We just got back from here and LOVED it. We are Hyatt Globalist and we are going to Hyatt Ziva in Puerto Vallarta later this year. How does PV compare to Cancun?
Mark. Awesome video. I have a crew of 3 families and are doing research now. Really like this place. How did you feel about any partnered excursions that were available? I saw a sign in the beginning of the video for some jet skis. Curious if they have jet ski tours, possible boat tours to that island of mujeres and snorkeling.
@@JacksonJetsetting Thanks super helpful. I am traveling with a group where we need 10 rooms but the resort is having a hard time finding rooms to accommodate families of 5 so I am off to research other resorts now.
I have been to this property around 10 times. I have found the cheapest way to book is through American Airlines Vacations for a combo airline ticket and room. The Hyatt Points has not worked for me. It seems I do not get credit or there are restrictions. Any one have a cheaper way to book? I have reservations for the new Hyatt Zilara in Playa del Carmen which opens around December.
QQ - are parents able to stay with kids at kids club or no? With water splash pad in the club, just wanted to ensure as we would like to spend time with 5 yr old. Debating between this property and grand fiesta
Thank you for the review! My wife and I are taking a trip without the kids in November for 4 nights. Just curious what your thoughts are--Would you recommend the Hyatt Ziva or the Hyatt Zilara? And why? My wife has Hyatt Discoverist status--so nothing special, but maybe we can score a room upgrade...? Also, if we stay at Ziva, do you know how we can get a room in the Turquoise tower? Thanks so much!
Zilaras rooms are all pretty much the same, so Discoverist wouldn’t necessarily be any worse than being globalist there besides maybe late check out! I like Zilara for adults only, but Ziva does have a nice property and better beach. Turquoise you can buy up to if you’re using points but I wouldn’t expect to be upgraded there!
Hi, do you think 14 nights is to much at this resort ? It’s just 3 of us . My little one is 4. You think it’s a good idea to split this resort and grand moon palace ?
We stayed 17 nights at the Ziva Cancun in 2017, could have easily stayed here longer, we are from Australia so 7 days is not worth it for us, 14 days is perfect, you will not get bored, it’s a 5 min walk to the centre where all the bars, nightclubs are. Best location at the tip of the Peninsula and hotel zone.
@@jessicaperry2632 yeah, I really dont understand how some people can say this is the best experience they've had having captive dolphins, I wouldn't be able to overlook that.
Thank you for this! What’s the primary differences in your opinion between the Ziva and Zilara? Especially with them being right next door to each other.
These are actually a bit away from each other on the same beach in Cancun. Zilara has more of a private feel and no kids. Ziva has more activities and is a much bigger property and a better location.
I actually think this is an excellent option for young families. There's a Zilara down the coast that's more for the adults-only vibe. Plenty of room at this resort for everyone.

@@pointhaya6338 check out my vid for the zilara cancun! czcams.com/video/x4ALaW4byE0/video.html
Stayed there and it was the best resort I have stayed in Cancun
we love it!
Amazing hotel, Best location and the service...the Best!!!❤
I agree, it's amazing!
Thank you so much. Will be going to this resort in May. This was very helpful.
Glad it was so helpful! Have a great trip and feel free to comment if you have specific questions!
We will be here in May. So excited!

@@JacksonJetsettingthank for your quick reply! Appreciate it. I wonder what time you mean when you say "later" hehe. Like 3am ish?
@@alitadupray777 not sure what time it actually closes! but 3 AM sounds too late
@@JacksonJetsetting too late or too early haha.
Thanks! 🙂
Hi! We just got back from here and LOVED it. We are Hyatt Globalist and we are going to Hyatt Ziva in Puerto Vallarta later this year. How does PV compare to Cancun?
PV a different vibe. LOVE IT! I have a video posted on my channel from a stay!
This used to be the Camino Real. The rooms and property are identical as they were 25 years ago but now costs ten times more.
They have renovated since then
Amazing super helpful
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I'd recommend using Viator for activities, the hotel can be pricey. But they do have an activities desk to help plan!

What kinda beer do they have ?? Planing a trip thanks for the video make me really looking forward
They’ve improved beer selections. Now they have ones like Bohemia
How was the beach?
One of the best beaches, period!

Packages can be a good way to save money!
QQ - are parents able to stay with kids at kids club or no? With water splash pad in the club, just wanted to ensure as we would like to spend time with 5 yr old. Debating between this property and grand fiesta
Splash pad I believe you should be able to- for those types of details I would reach out directly
Got married here. Been to several other all inclusives. Just sucks they doubled the price when Covid hit and never went back down
I know! It’s sad!
What was your honest opinion of the resort , was it worth it with points? & also how was the food if you had to rate on 1 to 5 scale ?
For all inclusives, it's a 4.5 for food. really good. VERY worth the points.

Zilaria is adults only.
Thank you awesome video going April 1st 2022
Have a great trip!
hope ur having fun!!!! How is it? I'm going next month
@@deeeweee10 it was a great time! You're going to have a blast!
Loved the review of Ziva, how do you compare this to the Hyatt Riviera? I have a teen with us.
I haven't been to that property yet!
Is this a good option for a solo traveler? Thinking of doing 3 nights in Cancun. Thank you for the video.
I would probably stay at the Zilara instead.
Great video!! Are you allowed and or did you tip during your stay?
You can definitely tip for good service!
yes! you’ll see a lot of people tipping
Thank you for the vid, won't be staying there for sure with the dolphin ENCLOSURE.Horrible
hope you have a great trip!
We’ll be having a wonderful time there. It’s a beautiful place.❤❤❤
They were born in captivity so it’s not as bad as getting taken from the ocean.
How would you compare ziva to fiesta Americana ? We have a 2 year old ? Thoughts recommendations ??
Haven't stayed at Fiesta Americana but Ziva will be a nicer experience, and great for families!
Hi, do you think 14 nights is to much at this resort ? It’s just 3 of us . My little one is 4. You think it’s a good idea to split this resort and grand moon palace ?
I’m nomadic by nature- I think mixing it up with somewhere down south in Playa del Carmen like the Grand Hyatt might be great!
We stayed 17 nights at the Ziva Cancun in 2017, could have easily stayed here longer, we are from Australia so 7 days is not worth it for us, 14 days is perfect, you will not get bored, it’s a 5 min walk to the centre where all the bars, nightclubs are. Best location at the tip of the Peninsula and hotel zone.
Is it just me or does this resort seem funner and better food options than the zilara lol. I can't decide
There is more to do, but we really loved our time at the zilara- if you got a week, why not try both?!
@@JacksonJetsetting do you have a video on the zilara?
@@PointsTravelBuddy czcams.com/video/x4ALaW4byE0/video.html
Do they have tamales and do the guests put towels on the chairs early in the morning ?
I believe they have tamales and yes the guests do that unfortunately
How was the beach? Was it Caribbean blue and was it calm waters?
One side was very calm! Very blue!
What do you mean by Globalist?
That is top-tier elite status with Hyatt
Nice hotel, unfortunately after seeing the have captive dolphins I wouldn't give them my money.
thanks for watching!
My thoughts exactly!
@@jessicaperry2632 yeah, I really dont understand how some people can say this is the best experience they've had having captive dolphins, I wouldn't be able to overlook that.
@@xzcvz I can’t overlook it either. I’ve ruled out a lot of resorts for this very reason. It’s so sad that it’s so prevalent. 😞
@@jessicaperry2632 I agree, good thing you're on the good side ❤️
Is wifi included? Also, is there 24 hour room service?
Wi-Fi is free and yes there is!
Do they have soccer nets on the beach?
Not that I saw!
I would like to know where the dolphins came from. Does this hotel kidnap dolphins out of the ocean for human entertainment? That’s my concern
Not sure about the origins of the dolphins. The resort doesn't officially operate the dolphin habitat- it's Delphinus that you can look into.
@@JacksonJetsetting thank you! I just sent them an email
Did you find the answer to this?? That is my only concern as well! Thank you!
Are there shuttles to get you around the resort
No, it’s all walkable!
Any recommendations on hotels to stay at with a private beach for solo travelers visiting Cancun?
Andaz Mayakoba might be a good option for you!
Thank you for this! What’s the primary differences in your opinion between the Ziva and Zilara? Especially with them being right next door to each other.
These are actually a bit away from each other on the same beach in Cancun. Zilara has more of a private feel and no kids. Ziva has more activities and is a much bigger property and a better location.
All the restotants for free?
Yep, minus some up charge items and the chefs table
Are the pools heated ?
I don't believe so.
Is it lively ?
Definitely!
How are the adult activities?
Fun activities by the pool and a nightly night club
Good for young families? I want to enjoy family time without having people who are partying too hard near my toddler
I actually think this is an excellent option for young families. There's a Zilara down the coast that's more for the adults-only vibe. Plenty of room at this resort for everyone.
Is there any takis here?
Not sure
Masks on vacation? Lame
This was shot earlier this year
