A piece of paradise

, Sherwood Park , AB
2020-11-09
The Hyatt Ziva is a small, 2 tower resort with a private beach and a few small pools. Whatever you're in the mood for, an adult only pool, kids pool, activities pool, shady pool - it's all there for the taking. Great beach area. They do allow a handful of vendors on the beach so it's the same vendors every day. Great food. You have a choice between buffet or a la carte restaurants or room service. Friendly staff. Gift shop. Jewelry shop. Spa. Fitness centre. Sports bar.
This small resort has everything. A quick 10 minute taxi to the downtown area. Great cleanliness and covid precautions. We had a fantastic week and would recommend this property for families, couples or a friends vacation.

Every room is ocean front so get ready for the beautiful view and the amazing sunsets. [Details]

Best beach in Puerto Vallarta

, Sylvan Lake, AB
2019-03-23
My family and I stayed here for 1 week during Christmas 2018. The beach was the best for PV and very private with not many venders bothering you. Our kids loved the kids club and Jessica was very helpful and pleasing with our youngest who was 6yrs old. Overall the restaurants were good. We just weren't very happy with the Mexican restaurant at all. But service everywhere was fantastic and entertainment was always great. Only a 5 minute taxi ride to all the action on the malecon. I highly recommend this resort to anyone wanting a great stay with awesome beach in Puerto Vallarta. [Details]

Absolutely great hotel!

, Ottawa, ON
2019-03-01
From the moment we arrived the service was awesome. Check in was swift, pleasant our luggage was taken care of and we were in our room in no time. Let me tell you the view from the room is just beautiful , we were on the 6 th floor, felt like we were on a cruise ship . I suspect a great view from any room , just looking out and seeing the ocean. The sound of the waves is quite loud, how exciting that was. The service is 5 star, we tried all of the à la carte restaurants, Our favorite for supper was the Japanese, for lunch was Blaze by the ocean, and the breakfast at the buffet was great, never went to the buffet in the evening. The beach has beautiful sand, and just the right size , unless you like to take long walks this is not the place for you . No problem getting beach towels there is always a big stack and you just need to pick 1 up no hastle. The pools are great right by the beach , and different coolness or a very warm adult pool . Just a little ride downtown about $6.00 Canadian well worth going out and great shopping.
I totally recommend this hotel, have a great vacation! [Details]

Great place

The Hyatt Ziva was a great experience. The buffet more than met our families needs and expectations. We ventured to one restaurant called Blaze which served up a delicious meal.
The rooms were clean and neat and stocked up daily. Each day there was bucket load of activities too keep you busy, and at night there was exceptional shows. [Details]

Week went way too fast. Dreams PV is a wonderful resort with great food and awesome people. One thing that stands out is how they moved stuff around to get us a better room and happy to do it.

Paradise - the good and the bad

, Calgary, AB
2013-06-18
This resort is great if you come with a group of people (not a fun place for singles). There are a lot of great activities, the beach is beautiful and the food is some of the best I've had! The staff are also hilarious and make the experience memorable.
The bad parts: The resort has great access to the beach, but the pools are terrible! The adult pool doesn't have a swim up bar and is tiny, the main pool where all the kids are is where the bar is and the only view you get from there is chairs & people. Also, the internet is $15/day - not so all inclusive after all. [Details]

A Dream Come True

, Brooks, AB
2013-06-13
We loved staying here! We are used to a bigger resort & rooms that are fancier but we definitely will come back & stay in the Dreams Tower next time!
The meals in every restaurant we tried were just delicious! Love it that they make people use hand sanitizer before entering the Buffet!
We went on one tour 'Rhythms of the night" Spectacular dinner & show!!
Kids Club - the staff were the best!! Kids were just treated as there own & they enjoyed all the time spent there!(ages 4 & 9)
Wedding was Beautiful!!! Photographs so....Awesome! Meal... Delicious!!
I can actually say I enjoyed even the vendors on the beach & the ones set up in the evening. They were not pushy at all - if you didn't want to look at their stuff on the beach they just kept walking!
This was just such a fun vacation for us!! [Details]
