01 · In a sentence

Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana in Punta Cana 23302, open JanuaryOctober.

Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana opened in 2014 as an all-inclusive resort on Playa Juanillo, capitalizing on Punta Cana's emergence as a premier Caribbean destination.

The property was built on pristine beachfront land and has since undergone continuous enhancement to its wedding and event infrastructure.

Today it stands as a full-service destination venue with 24-hour resort amenities and 371 rooms across multiple categories.

Absolutely loved our family week at Hyatt Ziva. The ocean water is beautifully calm, warm and shallow to the barrier. The pools were terrific & deeper than most resort pools. My only complaint was the roof of the swimup bar in main pool was being re-tarred and tar was dripped to the bottom of pool...got on several of us and was itchy and uncomfortable. Rooms beautiful...splurged for swim-up/ocean front and didn't regret it! Lots of wonderful activities for our older teens..waterpark was awesome! Didn't have a single bad meal there but appetizers at Bar are definitely not same as American bar appetizers so be open minded. Italian restaurant was a huge hit with our family. Not a party vibe...which I loved....some fun during the day but ready for quiet by 11pm. Private beach was wonderful....I've only ever been at vendor allowed beach so this was extra special. On the expensive side (but so worth it and we did go peak season), so probably a one time only for our family of four...but would definitely consider a trip just the two of us again.
