With a week at the resort, we had plenty of time to cover all the Ziva had to offer. Here's a rundown of the various activities that are offered. As mentioned previously, we took advantage of a $100 spa credit for having the Hyatt Credit Card. To be more precise, my wife took advantage of…

@Mike - really enjoyed the spot-on review. FWIW, the adults pool is heated, though it could easily be 5 - 10 degrees warmer (but it was nowhere near as cold as the large pool). An interesting feature in the adults pool (although not very practical in the winter) is that there's a cold spa in one alcove of the pool area. Probably a great feature in the summer, but not in January.
A couple additional thoughts...
The adult show in the evening was bad -- like laughably bad. I'd say probably on par with a middle school production show. We only went to one and decided that was more than enough. 😉
The lounge was awesome. I know you didn't review it (and probably didn't see much need for it, given the nature of an all-inclusive resort), but they had a great spread of food throughout the day, which was particularly useful when we slept late one morning. We also appreciated the spectacular views from the lounge terrace, which we didn't otherwise have from our room, as we had a swim-up suite at the adults pool. For those who may be debating on a swim-up room vs. a view room, I think going with a swim-up room while making use of the lounge is a great way to experience both. (Keep in mind the adults pool swim-up area is heated, and can be requested - though not confirmed - by reaching out to the concierge after booking.)
@Josh - Thanks for filling in the gaps in my review. Really appreciate it. Not surprised to hear the adult show was bad. The kids 'Mini Disco' was also laughably bad but the staff had the added challenge of herding small children. Our kids loved it so we kept going back. I'll have to check out the lounge on a future trip.
I took my family on the last week of December 2015 to Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos. We loved the food there. In addition to my wife, my two girls (16 year old and 3 year old) loved the Kids Club area but I agree that the water being frigid took away from the fun of that activity. Plus the buildings block any amount of sunlight that could get through to heat up the area. The only gripe is the water there.
In regard to the kids show and the adults show. My family loved it! I mean that was the highlight of my daughters days. First night was 70's disco tunes and the second night was "Glee". I think they pulled off a great show. No where near Las Vegas but it was fun for 1 hour and drinks were included. What is there to complain about. Mike your family would haved loved it! We always used our Hyatt Diamond benefit to book reservations at the restaurants early , so we would get seats to the 8pm- Kids show, 9pm- Adults show.
We felt like we were cruise that never left Mexico.
I think it's weird that you would be creeped out by another father taking a picture of the kids facility and used that as an excuse not to take many yourself. Because clearly, the only reason would be something nefarious. Just take pictures. If someone wants to ask why, you tell them. Imaginary problem solved.
@Benlampoo - We are contemplating a trip there the last week of December into Jan 2017. I'm told that is peak season for most of Mexico, so just wanted to get your thoughts on how crowded the resort was during that time. We went for Thanksgiving last year and had no problems at any restaurants (ate a 6pm with reservations), pool chairs were typically available, and there was no wait time at Coco Loco for lunches or the Coffee Shop in the mornings. Did you feel overcrowded or disappointed by wait times anywhere on property during your peak season stay?
Do you know how they verify kids ages for the kids club? My son turns 4 at the beginning of Oct, and I'm wondering if we could get away having him stay if we were to go in the summer. Another AI I went to copied the passports of the kids, just wondering if they do something similar.
@Arielle - They didn't copy our girls' passports. In fact, I was surprised they didn't do anything to verify the age of our youngest since she was a few weeks away from turning 3 (and not being free). I'm not sure how thorough they would be in the Kidz Club checking age since we didn't leave our girls there.
I'm planning on being at the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos the end of October. Out of all the restaurants they have, I need to choose one for my 20 wedding guests. Can anyone recommend which restaurant
