Inside Look: Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos Review
The family-friendly Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos has long been one of Los Cabos' all-inclusive crown jewels thanks to the many activities, expansive ocean views and attentive service it offers. With few improvements since opening its doors in 2015, however, the property was due for a refresh; this spring, the resort completed a $50 million renovation that coincides with its 10-year anniversary. The renovation project—which includes 248 refreshed rooms in Tower B, an upgraded lobby bar, an enhanced fitness center, revamped kids and teens clubs, a new Indian dining outlet and rebrands of two of its most popular restaurants—is welcome news for fans of the hotel, which I named one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Los Cabos. I checked in to experience it myself and was impressed by the new look. Here's my full review. Aerial shot of Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos in San José del Cabo, Mexico. The first thing guests notice when walking into Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos is its new open-air lobby. Completely redone, guests are now greeted by soaring ceilings and pops of golds and creams, with the luxurious Lobby Bar 23°N— featuring a propeller centerpiece and vintage navigation tools—being the most eye-catching element of the space. Given all-inclusive resorts' reputation for stale design, the reimagining immediately elevates incoming guests' first impression of the hotel. Those staying in a Club Level are taken to a newly designed and private VIP area to check in right off the main lobby. Lobby Bar 23°N at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos. As part of the recent renovations, the property's kids and teens clubs were completely redone, and the kids waterpark was refreshed; its spacious fitness center, which was quite busy during my stay, also has a fresh look and new equipment. I spent most of my time at the pool area: The hotel features four pools, including a main pool, a kids pool, an adults-only pool and an infinity pool right near the beach. The infinity pool was the most popular of them all, with music and entertainment (think: Hula-Hooping contests and music trivia) on tap all day long. Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos offers 591 rooms in a variety of different categories, but only 248 of these rooms have been renovated as part of the hotel's recent transformation: If you're booking this hotel, you'll want to make sure that you're booked into Tower B, where the renovations are complete. (Renovations to Tower C are also expected, but no firm dates are in place.) I stayed in a Deluxe Ocean View Double, a 611-square-foot space that featured two double beds, a walk-in shower and a private terrace overlooking the infinity pool, with views of the coast and mountain range.

I was impressed by the transformation; in comparison to the non-renovated rooms in Tower C, which feature darker woods and smoky tones of chocolate and eggplant, my room felt fresh and modern, with bright pops of orange and cerulean blue. The hanging blue and wicker lamps were a nice touch that seemed aligned with many of the hotel's newly designed spaces, and the room's artwork—including a painting that evokes waves and a sculpture of a whale's tail—gave it an established sense of place. As expected, my room's minibar was stocked with water, juices, beer and wine, and service was friendly, prompt and unobtrusive. There are 16 restaurants, bars and lounges at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos, and several of them are new: Casa Cortez, once just known as Cortez, has been overhauled with a new, boho-chic look and revamped menu. Serving seafood-forward Mexican cuisine, the excellent ceviches, fish tacos, shrimp burrito and margaritas I had here made it hands down my favorite dining outlet at the hotel. The hotel also revamped its Mediterranean restaurant Zaffiro, now called Farina e Olio, though it was not yet fully open during my visit, and opened a new Indian dining outlet named Mahika, which guests enter through an immersive ticket booth. Casa Cortez at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos During my stay, I enjoyed daily breakfasts at El Molino, which serves up Mexican favorites and a global buffet breakfast. I'm not the biggest fan of buffet-style dining, but I was impressed by the quality and variety here—the chilaquiles were particularly great—and looked forward to returning each day. I was also pleased by the strong coffee at the on-site Coffee House (with just about every milk substitute available), the delicious poke bowls at the juice bar by the main pool and the fact that I was able to order a perfectly made dirty Grey Goose martini (no extra charge) at Lobby Bar 23°N. As someone who has been to many all-inclusive resorts, Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos certainly punches above its weight when it comes to food and drinks. One of my favorite midday snacks were the tacos served at the bar near the adults-only pool. If you're staying at the resort, look for the small kitchen door at the end of the bar, where you can place your order. The tacos are truly authentic; it feels almost unbelievable that these can be found at an all-inclusive resort. Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos is located about a 20-minute drive from the San José del Cabo International Airport (SJD).
