Virgin rating

The hotel

The All Inclusive Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall offers a huge range of room options, all with gorgeous views of the surrounding tropical gardens or the ocean. You can even choose a room with direct pool access or upgrade to Club Level for special privileges. Tucked between the mountains and the sea, it’s hailed as a paradise of rest, relaxation and recreation and rightly so! Prepare yourself for 'Service from the Heart!' — a genuine warm Jamaican welcome and service with a smile. For something a little special, head to the spa for a relaxing massage or body wrap. Whilst you do, the kids can play with other youngsters at their very own club, building sandcastles or getting stuck into some arts and crafts. With regards to restaurants, you’ll find plenty on your doorstep — at the Ziva, there’s a whole range of world cuisines to choose from! Visit Italy one night, and Asia when the mood takes you. We doubt very much you’ll be homesick but if you are, head to Union Jack’z — an English tavern that not only serves pub favourites but also features live music too. Alternatively, sip on cocktails on the rooftop at the Moroccan-inspired Fez.

Overall, this is a nice little hotel. As with them all, there are both pros and cons to be aware of. Pros: - Beach and water are gorgeous, and the rock wall breaks the waves so it’s fabulous for kids (or anyone who likes calmer water) - “Quiet” Pool and swim up bar are the best spot to set up for the day - can still hear the music so there is a… Read more
Overall, this is a nice little hotel. As with them all, there are both pros and cons to be aware of. Pros: - Beach and water are gorgeous, and the rock wall breaks the waves so it’s fabulous for kids (or anyone who likes calmer water) - “Quiet” Pool and swim up bar are the best spot to set up for the day - can still hear the music so there is a nice vibe but it’s not as noisy (Bartender Donjay is the best and was so cute with our kids) - Food and drinks are not amazing but are generally good. Loved how they do lots of local fare at the buffet and a nice mix of a la carte restaurants (Calypso was our fave) - Butlers were amazing if you choose to go that route. Worren, Rayan and Kevin were ours - all SO helpful and responsive and WAY better value than we’ve gotten for this type of experience in the past - Rooms are very spacious, beds comfy, big balconies and beautiful views - In general, people were friendly and we had good service - Daily morning yoga on the dock with Caroline was lovely and so well done - Barefoot Jerk hut was a hit - tasty and easy to just grab while you're at the pool or beach Cons: - The hotel itself is dated. Hallways are dingy and have a terrible sickeningly sweet air freshener constantly being funneled into them. Door handles are coming off, etc. General repairs and maintenance and some updating are needed. - Kids club is VERY average, and really only for toddlers. Our 6 year olds wanted nothing to do with it. That said, our kids did pizza making in the Italian restaurant, and face painting/bracelet making by the pool with the kids club team and had fun with both of those - We could have sworn we saw a kids pool / waterpark area advertised somewhere - this definitely does not exist (and would be really helpful if it did) - All the water sports are for age 7 up only, which was very disappointing to our 6 year olds - Music / activities over the megaphone at the activities pool are too loud if you're doing anything else but participating in them - Evening shows start late for littles (9pm) - would be great if they were an hour earlier Read less

Room: Ocean View w/ Butler Experience For my 30th birthday I had the pleasure of staying at Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall. My partner and I booked the ocean view suite w/ a butler. I was blown away at the service received every second, every moment of the entire week long stay. When we arrived we were greeted by our two butlers, Ricardo and Nicholes. They were amazing, they made us feel safe, welcomed, and they took very great care of us. They orchestrated with my partner a birthday room set up and it was super cute! They had dinner reservations already set for us for every night, arranged drivers and pick ups for when we were ready for excursions or for exploring off of the resort. Overall they are anything and everything you can ask for in two amazing individuals. They know how to do their job. They were so respectful, always had a smile, and ensured our stay was perfect start to finish. The hospitality is beyond commendable. I hope they get the praise they deserve for their talent and service. Resort The resort is beautiful, I personally recommend the family side which is more of a fun vibe. There is always something to do on both sides and you are able to explore the resort and hang out on the adult side (Zilara) if you'd like! We preferred the family side after touring the (Zilara). All inclusive was a great experience! The food was great! You can eat and drink pretty much whenever, of course unless the establishments are closed. But, you'll never be without here! The Jerk Hut was fireeee! The drinks from all of the bars hit every time. The bartenders know how to create anything forreal! Shout out to Codjea! He made us some of the cutest drinks. His service was amazing at the Calypso bar! Entertainment is everywhere, you won't be bored! Everyone at this resort was respectable, welcoming, and helpful. I cannot express how much this birthday was made special. What a way to create a real luxury experience. Read less

Great overall stay. Perfect private beach if you are there with family. Had an exceptional meal 3/5 nights. Grounds are beautiful, but part of the hotel is dated. Service at buffet is not great, but at their other restaurants, fantastic. 10 minutes from the airport.

Just completed a fantastic week at this resort. Upgraded to a swim out room on the adult-only ( Zilara side). This was worth the extra money and something that we used all week to relax and have some quiet away from the action of the resort. The fitness facilities and recreation team are amazing. Best gym and fitness classes that I have ever experienced in the islands, and I have seen many. I food options are multiple and our favourite was Fusion.. great Pad Thai, the Jerk Hut by the Ziva pool and beach and the made-to-order breakfast at Urban Heat on the Zilara side. Highly recommend the property ! Read less

Stayed in building 2 floor 5. Rooms were big, beautiful marble bathroom very comfortable beds and pillows. Room had a balcony with view of the ocean and pool. Building was close to beach, pool and many restaurants. Pool was nice and beach was small, but nice. Servers at beach and pool were very attentive. Food at restaurants were very good especially for an inclusive. Different bars had different drink menus that were fun. if I’m looking for ways to improve, I would say that the adult only side beach was rocky, and the large concrete pillars on the balcony railing blocked the view when seated. The exterior of the original Ritz Carlton buildings could use a paint job and some updating. Glad I chose to stay at the Ziva. Its pool was more spacious. The pool was less crowded and had a more relaxing vibe. Golfed three times twice at White witch and once had cinnamon Hill taxi to golf was less than 10 minutes. Courses were beautiful although the greens were both in bad shape, which was disappointing. I would still recommend it for the beautiful views and fun course layouts. Never felt unsafe and was very pleasantly surprised by the wonderful people of Jamaica Read less
