Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Resort Tour: A Relaxing Adults Only Vacation 

We had live music each evening and then a show or activity later.

How warm was the ocean when you went? Was it windy on the beach?

@@dougdean8996 We were there in January and the beach was windy, but not unbearable. The water was warm.

Have a great trip!

Thanks!

Glad you found it helpful.

Hi Frank! Thanks!

I haven't been back. You'll have to look for a more recent tour or have your travel agent find out.

It's a bit rocky.

We didn't have any trouble. Did you have a hard time finding seats?

@TripswithAngie Not at all. We have been to nine 5* adults only resorts, and have never seen less than 3 pools at a resort before. I thought the reason they took over Secrets Capri would be to totally redo it, add new layouts and pools etc. Was just so let down to see all they did was update rooms. Just having one big main pool was such a let down! Nowhere to escape the crowds or the entertainment. We aren't beach people, and appreciate resorts with multiple pool options. Xcaret arte and secrets Akumal are our favorites for Mexico. Would never go here again.

@@kayladeveau2984 The plans never included adding pools.

@TripswithAngie I know...I am just stating that I really wished Hyatt's takeover involved changing what it used to be (besides simply upgrading the interior). It still feels like Secrets Capri, but with added makeup to hide its flaws.

What didn't you like about the food?

⁠@@TripswithAngieI literally got an anxiety attack when they brought me out their chicken Alfredo because it tasted nothing like American chicken Alfredo. The room decor was very dated as well. I ended up having to upgrade to a beach front room because the view they gave me was of the dry aqueduct and a porter potty. The waves were so loud in the room so it made it difficult to sleep well. I went there hoping to save $$ compared to what I would have spent at the Hilton Los Cabos but it turned out to be almost the same which makes me sad because the Hilton is absolutely amazing!! The hospitality, the view, the aesthetic’s and the food are unbeatable so far for me. Not to mention we agreed to the timeshare meeting and they literally wouldn’t let us go and tried to offer us alcohol when we told them we didn’t drink but it really ruined it for my husband especially. I might only return there if I took the kids and got a major steal or a deal. Truly not trying to be negative, it was just our experience.

A lot of foods are naturally gluten free so that's not a problem.

They have drink service.

Nightlife really depends on the guests. They had something every night - a show or activity plus the sports bar.

Yes.

You can sit anywhere on the beach.

Sure

I show the whole resort in the video.

If you only have a debit card, be prepared for it to freeze $500 of your funds for 2 weeks.

What? So what form of payment can you use prefer a cc?

I show them all in the video.

Can't just answer the question🙄

The size of the resort and the more quiet vibe should have been known when you booked. The food report is very disappointing. Can you link to your video where you reviewed the food options?

Out of the four in Mexico? I'd pick Hyatt Zilara Cancun because of the pool overlooking the ocean. Plus I'll always choose the adults only if I'm traveling without kids. Hyatt Zilara Cancun: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nqNDS9wcqdY.html

@@TripswithAngie quick question doesn’t ziva Cancun have more pools and a better beach though? I’m more a sucker for a nice beach
