Poor Value
Nice beach, nice pools, friendly staff, entertainment was mediocre, food was also mediocre. Expected significantly more bang for the buck consisidering the expense. Very noisy altho can be expected considering it's a family resort. Penthouse rooms and plunge pools very misleading, this hotel needs a drastic facelift.

Very expensive resort with very less to none fun, food and entertainment options
This is an expensive resort for so less entertainment, food and fun options. The elevator was always on repairs and making this more of an exercise stay than a vacation. The buffet restaurant was so low quality that we couldn't eat more than 2 times there. If you're a vegetarian, my serious advise is to skip it as there are not enough options that are veg.

Severely Disappointed...
I am severely disappointed with this stay and honestly shocked at how poor the overall experience has been. Our 6th floor room smells like a literal sewer. It is overwhelming and completely unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber. The buffet is very poor and feels like an afterthought rather than a legitimate dining option. The only bright spot of this entire trip was dinner at Melanzane, which was genuinely great and the only positive worth mentioning. Check-in was noticeably cold and uninviting. As long-time Hyatt members, we are used to a much warmer, more welcoming experience. No waters provided, defensive about late checkout which was confirmed via phone when we booked, and overall felt like they didn't want us there... The room itself was not properly cleaned. Towels had visible stains. The robe had visible blood stains. This immediately raised concerns about housekeeping standards. To make matters worse, the AC stopped working in the middle of the night, making sleep extremely uncomfortable. At the pool bar, the alcohol is so blatantly watered down that it is laughable. It feels dishonest and cheap, especially given the price point and expectations of a resort experience. This stay has been a complete waste of our trip. I will not recommend this property to anyone and will actively advise others to stay elsewhere. Deeply disappointing.

Quality Hyatt but Many Issues that Detract from our stay.
Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta is a nice resort on a beautiful beach. Blaze restaurant was great to visit and good omelettes. The buffet was average and some employees do not speak much English. Buffet was poor for lunch ESPECIALLY! We Were there for 5 days on an Alaska Vacation. Too little time for a trip down and back to Washngton State. LAX Airport was horrible for delays. It took 30 minutes to get our luggage at PSC. Hyatt is a quality resort as we have done others before but we were disappointed on the elevators. Two elevators and for 3 days only 1 worked. 20 minutes to wait from the 5th floor to the bottom. Too busy for 1 elevator. Casa Grande had a great beef fillet but did not seat our family Hyatt will only seat 8 and our family was 9 We were split in two tables a lot. We went down there to be a family not two parties. Overall I would give 4 stars, A disappointment. I would say over all the staff at Hyatt is friendly to resort goers. But exceptions as in Casa Grande a Tortillia maker that would not give me the time of the day. she would not answer any questons and shrugged.
