Hyatt Ziva & Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana
On a scale of 1–10, this resort is an 11.
I recently had the privilege of touring Hyatt Ziva & Hyatt Zilara, and I was completely blown away — by the service, the design, the dining, and the overall experience. From the moment you arrive, you feel it.
Service From the Heart:
From the moment you hit the front gate, the staff made an immediate impression. Warm, welcoming, and fluent in English — they greet you with a hand over the heart, symbolizing service from the heart. It’s genuine, thoughtful, and instantly makes you feel at home.
A 2-in-1 Resort Experience:
This unique property offers the best of both worlds:
Hyatt Ziva – family-friendly
Hyatt Zilara – adults-only
They’re connected, so you can enjoy shared amenities while still having clearly defined spaces. Free-flow access is available to anyone 18+
Hyatt Ziva | Family-Friendly Fun:
Perfect for families traveling with kids:
Kids & teens clubs
A full waterpark with lazy river + 5 waterslides
Complimentary life jackets
Access to non-motorized water sports
Hyatt Zilara | Adults-Only Escape:
For those craving elevated dining, an incredible gym, and a stunning beach — without kids — Zilara delivers a relaxed, upscale vibe that still feels fun and social.
Dining That Deserves the Spotlight:
I don’t often use “foodie” and “all-inclusive” together… but this resort earned it.
Themed restaurants that go all-out
Even the buffets were impressive (this goes for the family-friendly buffet as well!!)
A standout Indian restaurant made to feel like an old train car — you'll find a dish from cities all over India!
The Butcher stole the show: a speakeasy-style dining experience (additional cost). Resort guests receive a discounted rate, and even non-guests can book it. Think entertainment meets fine dining in a moody restaurant.
• Coffee shop open from 7am-11pm
Activities & Fitness:
Mixology classes, painting, yoga, volleyball, and more
Pickleball courts
Non-motorized water sports included
A 24/7 gym that is hands-down the most impressive resort gym I’ve ever seen — I wanted to pause the tour just to explore it
Shared Spaces (Ziva & Zilara):
Gym
Theatre
Sports bar (kids allowed until 10pm - then adults-only until 2 am)

Waterpark
Spa
You can also reserve a private cabana with bottle service for 10–12 guests.
Rooms & Amenities:

24/7 complimentary room service in every room
Spa & Wellness
The spa is stunning and also offers hydrotherapy (available for an additional cost).
The Beach:
Beautiful, swimmable, vendor-free, and exactly what you picture when you imagine a perfect beach day.
This is the kind of resort that truly has something for everyone — families, couples, friend groups, and food lovers alike.
If this hasn't been on your radar, it should be.
