We were only there for 2 nights. When arriving we realized the pictures online were not what the resort looked like. Our room was dirty, especially the bathroom. When notified the front desk they apologized and had me email the manager. Later that evening we got a phone call that they wanted to switch our room but we were already in bed as it was 11pm and they said to come by and change rooms in the morning. We went by in the am and no one knew what we were talking about. The evening manager came in that night and had a room supposedly held all day but no one could figure it out. It was absolutely a terrible experience and we will never be staying at a Hyatt again. Although the restaurant and pool staff were phenomenal. Read less

Overall, our stay (4 nights) was wonderful! Thank you to Christina in the spa. She helped direct and influence our wonderful spa experience. My massage was outstanding! We were very impressed with our daily yoga/pilates class. Big shout-out Franny, Thanks so much for your wonderful class! The food was good. We were overjoyed with the quality of the French restaurant. The staff was very friendly and inquisitive to our well being. Shakira was so personable and engaging! We could have used a few more hangers in the room. We thought the storage space in the rooms a bit lacking. This was our 4th Zilara/Ziva trip. The massage and yoga class were the best I’ve experienced. Read less

The King ocean view is very spacious. The beach is well kept and clean. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The food is ok but you can tell they cater to “the masses” because there was a lack of flavor and spice. The drinks are good especially if you tip. There is a good variety of entertainment. Overall, I had a great time.

I paid $674 per night for an Ocean View Junior Suite King room and the room is very subpar. The mirrors are worn down and need replacement as well as the other fixtures. The hotel needs to invest in the appearance of the rooms especially for the price.

The staff is the only plus of this resort. This is maybe our 5th time here…it gets worse every time. This time will be our last.

The staff is the only plus of this resort. This is maybe our 5th time here…it gets worse every time. This time will be our last. It is dirty, dangerous (our son fell in the shower it was slippery and our mother will not walk alone as it is raining and giant slippery water puddles everywhere. Dinner reservations are hard to come by. lots of day beds empty as they are over 200 dollars a day and it would be great to just be able to sit there in the rain. The rooms are old and dark. The hallways have stained carpet and smell. I can go on and on and on. The food is completely sub par, there is an extra charge for steak and lobster. it was never like this in past years. once again the staff is lovely but Hyatt should be putting money into this resort and a lot of it!
