What our family REALLY experienced at HYATT ZIVA PUNTA CANA🌴

My complete REVIEW + EXPERIENCE at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana all-inclusive family resort - including a TOUR & my BEST TIPS for making your family's visit enjoyable!

In March 2022, my family visited 3 of the top all-inclusive family resorts in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. In this video, I’ll give you an in-depth walkthrough of our experience at the final resort of our trip, the Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana.

I'll give you a tour of our Club Ocean View 1-Bedroom Master Suite (with an amazing view & a jacuzzi on the balcony!). We’ll also talk about the unique features of this hotel, including the cave spa, the water park, the eclectic restaurants, the Hyatt Zilara next door (& how you can access this), the deep-blue infinity pool, and OMG - the spectacular beach! I’ll even give you some tips about things to know before you go.

Come with me to check out this popular Punta Cana all-inclusive family resort!

Hi Kelly! Love your videos! Planning a trip for a family reunion with kids ranging from 4-16. We have watched your videos on Finest and Ziva and cannot decide which one is best. Would you recommend one over the other and why? We are looking for amazing food, top notch service and a beautiful beach. We went to Grand Velas Riviera Maya last year, and loved everything about the resort, except the seaweed, although they were tireless in their cleaning efforts! How was the seaweed issue at Finest and Ziva? We would be going back to Grand Velas again, however we have younger children in our party this time around, so looking for a resort with more activities for kids, like the water park at Ziva.

It looks like a beautiful resort. The pools are stunning. Oh my that beach! It looks like it has everything there. Great review. Cheers 🍻

[NancyKZ]

Going there next week and your review is really helping kind of mentally organize our trip. Thanks!

[KD-mzxv]

[KD-mzxv]

great review thank you. now i want to visit

[myvalium]

Great review!! We’re going with a nice sized family group. Can’t wait.

[kimberlyoates]

Do you know tall teens should be to enjoy the large water slide? Were your two rooms adjoined upon request? I'm afraid of reserving 2 rooms and they are not connected.

[epicmomstravel]

Are you thinking of booking a stay at the Hyatt Ziva in Punta Cana? LMK & I'm happy to answer any questions 😎

[shelliallibhai]

You do a really great job with your videos. Use your hashtags for more viewers. You seem to have the same taste as our group of friends. We just got back from Finest Playa Mujeres. Trying to book a trip for 5 families and we would love to try Ziva cap cana. Couldn't believe the prices!! $$$$ I wonder if they fluctuate. Between Ziva and the other resorts youve been to, which did you prefer? We also have four teens in our group.

[BlancaLitzinger]

Thank you for this thorough review. I understand you had a club level room but what type? club 1 bedroom ocean view master suite?

[stevenschindler]

Great video. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem with me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, Steve S.

[elenakubatka-willms]

Hi Kelly, would you recommend Macao Beach or Ziva if beach activities and food are the top are important. Liked the idea of having surf lessons. Thank you!

[sarny]

Thanks for the video. We arrive in a few days.

[ilovelaradio]

Loved the video! Quick question, what time of the year did you?

[maricar]

Hi there! How did u book for the Club level? If we choose the name “club ocean view junior suite king room” are we gonna be in the club level? Thank you

[mrsmrs]

I loved watching your video. Did they have a variety of adult beverages to choose from or are the adult drinks pre-made? I've seen some resorts that only have option to order premade drinks such as bahama mama's..for example.

[terrymerola]

How do they police who has access to the club level areas? Also, are they constantly checking ID's at the Zilara side? My 20 yr old daughter looks quite young?

[HelenaHarris]

Curious, you mentioned to bring plenty of cash. What did you need cash for? Isn’t everything included? Cash just for tipping? How much cash do you recommend?

[JW-fhen]

The fight for chairs in so off putting. Was the extra payment for cabanas process easy or also a dog fight?

[davidmanwaring]

Hi Kelly, we’re looking at an all inclusive for 10 people, 5 kids. Ages 15, 13, 10x2, and 8. Do you have any downsides to this resort for that age groups of kids. Parents are pretty mellow, not looking for any kind of excessive night life.
