They also have a Hangout Teens Club for children ages 13-17 years old with games, a Playstation rooms, charging stations and ping pong tables.
We enjoyed an excursion with Nexus tours on a catamaran and had an unbelievable time getting our dose of vitamin sea that day. With unlimited drinks and our choice of music, we felt on top of the world as we partied the afternoon away!
The areas that impressed us the most had to be the gazebo and the sky terrace for wedding ceremonies. With unbelievable views of the water, modern and simple touches to the decor, and the tropical mood, this is the perfect place to celebrate your love together with friends and family.
Our favorite meal with during the C/X culinary experience located in the Hideaway, adults-only section of the resort. We had a multi-course meal with the perfect wine, beer, and spirit pairings. It was truly a special night as each plate came out our jaws dropped lower. In addition, we enjoyed dining at Zen restaurant. We had a teppanyaki performance that set the bar high for the future. Not only were the tricks and plating phenomenal, the food was too.
#1 Hyatt Ziva Cancun
Having a sought after location on the strip, this resort is surrounded on three sides of the Caribbean sea. They have the Kidz club for children aged 4-12 years. This includes supervised activities, a children’s pool, and water play area as well as water activities. There’s ‘family time’ here for younger children accompanied by their parents at specific times throughout the day.
You can go to Habanero’s for a nice lunch on the beach. Or dine in the blue Chevy at Chevy’s Diner and go back in time. One unique food option is the food carts that frequent the pool area. Some of the food cart treats included hamburger’s, watermelon, and mangos with chili, YUM!
There’s a gorgeous view from the adults-only turquoise club rooftop infinity pool. And it has some fun peeking panels to the lobby underneath. They have their very own microbrewery & brewmaster, creating three unique flavors to showcase each month. My favorite was the IPA and Shadi loved ALL of them.
And finally, they have their very own candy store. Pasteles candy shop has cotton candy, three chocolate fountains, endless plates of goodies and a lot more. They care about satisfying your sweet tooth!
