The pools and hot tubs close at 7 PM. Loud club music plays in the pool area all day long. It is not beachy music, you cannot hear the ocean. The beach is small. If you want to take a walk along the beach, this is not a place for you. We booked a room with two queen beds. They oversold this room and of us had to sleep on a pull out bed.… Read more
The pools and hot tubs close at 7 PM. Loud club music plays in the pool area all day long. It is not beachy music, you cannot hear the ocean. The beach is small. If you want to take a walk along the beach, this is not a place for you. We booked a room with two queen beds. They oversold this room and of us had to sleep on a pull out bed. Thankfully, I won the coin toss on that. It wasn’t great. They claimed there was no room available that had two beds. Unlikely. The workers at the resort were all very polite and helpful. The service was great. Read less

Amazing trip with 3 couples. Some of the staff were absolutely "off-the-chart" amazing. I'll try to name a few because they made our experience enjoyable. First, Percival "Perci", took care of us from the time our feet hit the resort. He checked on us the entire trip. He was there when it was time to leave for a seamless departure. LaShoya at the Asian Restaurant (Fuzion) made it the best experience for dining! She had a smile on her face the entire time!! (Atasha and Raniecia at Fuzion were amazing!) Shereen at the Union Jackz Sports Bar was so pleasant and a hustler! Great bar food for a night away from regular dining options. Food overall was good at each dining location. Dress cool ......very warm in all dining options. Shakira at the pool bars is now one of our best friends....find out what pool she is working and stay the day! We had all had a king swim-up suite. Worth every penny! Rooms were clean on arrival and cleaned every day when we returned. Natash was incredible with our rooms! Adult side pool area was a little rough around the edges during the day. Loud music with songs we had never heard but didn't ruin our time, we just spent less time there:) Couples massages were incredible! Beach in front of Ziva family side was the best. Zilara side is a little rocky. WE HAD A BLAST! WE WILL RETURN! (Can't let this end without one of the best "behind-the-scenes" staff - Carol with landscaping, smiled and greeted us every morning! What a blessing she was to meet! Last, we felt safe at all times with security present. Jay was definitely one of our favorite security guys! Until next time............. Read less

Customer service is a 10. Only had one. Landscape and beach are Beautiful. The buildings and pools are very dated/dirty, 1/2 stars. I would not recommend this resort until they remodel the entire resort. I was expected a 4/5 star resort, and got a 2 star. We had to move the first hour, the smell of mold was that bad. No water wasn’t working the first day. I only took a few photos, didn’t want to keep it negative while I was there. The shower film was before we even used it. We travel a lot, and we did not expect this from Hyatt. If feeling clean and comfortable is a priority, do not go to this resort. Read less
