A feast for the senses
Hyatt Ziva’s latest outpost, operated by Playa Hotels & Resorts, aims to offer guests a seamless hospitality experience, defined by a sensory immersion into nature, adventure and luxury.
Fernando Mulet, Playa Hotels & Resorts executive vice president and chief development officer, said: “With elevated amenities along with Playa’s award-winning ‘Service from the Heart’ and an extraordinary destination, Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun represents the very best in all-inclusive luxury.
“Since partnering with Hyatt less than a decade ago, the family-friendly Hyatt Ziva and adults-only Hyatt Zilara brands have become the premier all-inclusive experiences throughout Mexico and the Caribbean. We look forward to expanding our footprint together with Hyatt and our investment partners.”
The property boasts an incredible 17 restaurants, bars and lounges, as well as nine swimming pools and a state-of-the-art fitness centre. There’s also a two-storey Zen Spa inspired by pre-Hispanic Mayan culture, with 21 treatment rooms that take their cues from the hotel’s spectacular natural surroundings, and 51,000 sq ft of meeting and event spaces.
