As a family of five with all different pallets we had a lot of meals here and it didn’t disappoint. This was the buffet on the Ziva side and offered plenty of options to choose from. In the afternoon we would head here for some ice cream and popsicles. They also have a small selection of sandwiches & pastries that I would bring back for breakfast. Coffee Republic opens at 6:30 am and has a variety of coffee drinks. I’m a coffee lover, so I was thrilled to see that the resort had its own coffee shop on site. The buffet also had a carving station, pizzas made to order and a dessert station that will make your sweet tooth very happy. The kids loved the made-to-order pasta station, while my husband and I enjoyed the fresh seafood. We ate most of our meals at the buffet which offered a wide variety of food. For some reason, we were not offered a kids menu at several of the restaurants and I learned later that it is something you need to request. All of the sit-down restaurants offer a kid’s menu except the buffet. We also had our fair share of the 24-hours room service that is included as part of your stay.Ī few things to keep in mind while you are there with kids. We were able to try out all of the restaurants during our stay except for the club-level only restaurants. The resort has 12 restaurants and 14 bars. All rooms face in toward the resort, so the standard rooms are the ones on the lower floor. However, I was excited to learn that there are really no rooms with a bad view. Since we booked our stay on points I wasn’t sure what kind of room view we would get. Including shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, bar soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, razor, shower cap, and sewing kit. Inside the bathroom, you were given plenty of amenities in case you left anything at home. It offered a separate room for the toilet, double vanity, and large shower with a rain head. The kids and I loved hanging out on the oversized chair each morning and afternoon. The balcony was easily our favorite part. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, with two queen beds, a sofa bed, a large bathroom and a balcony. Once we finished checking in, someone helped us with our luggage and gave a quick tour of the resort. We also could have added club level to our reservation at any time during our stay. We decided against the club upgrade, but they ended up upgrading us to an Ocean View room on the top floor instead for no additional cost. This comes with premium liquors, access to the club pool, access to additional restaurants and a private butler. Upon arrival to the resort were greeted by friendly staff members in their beautiful open air lobby.ĭuring check in they asked if we wanted to upgrade to the Club level for $85 per day. The hotel is located about 30 minutes from the Punta Cana Airport and we used Dominican Plus as our transportation. If you are booking in the off-season, you can get your room for as low as 21,000 points per night for double occupancy. The lady I spoke to at the time said the daily cash rate for three kids would be $250 per day in total. I spoke to a representative from Hyatt and they said the best option would be to book a room on points for two people and add three kids on cash. I tried to look for the option to book 5 people in a room, but it doesn’t look like the hotel is offering that very often. ![]() ![]() I should note that when we booked our trip, there was a glitch in the Hyatt system so we actually only paid (in points) for two people, but had five total in our party with our three kids. With the signup bonuses from each, we had more than enough points to book. Both my husband and I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, as well as all of the Chase Freedom cards. We booked our stay using Hyatt points that we transferred over from our Chase Ultimate Rewards. When the kids asked to go to the kids club, my husband and I would typically head over to Zilara for some adults-only quiet time by the pool or a nice dinner for the two of us. What I loved about this resort was how easy it was to visit both Ziva and Zilara during your stay. We stayed on the Ziva side with our three kids. Both sides offer luxurious accommodations, plenty of activities, and top-notch service. The Ziva side is geared towards families, while the Zilara side is adults-only.
