I stayed at the Hyatt Zilara . Hopefully I got the spelling right. This resort is amazing and the Jamaican people are the most friendliest people in the whole world. I just got home and I’m homesick for Jamaica. This resort is a five star hotel all day long the food, the drinks, everything I could not recommend this place more. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️❤️ PS: thank you for making this video. It already brings back memories and I’ve only been home for two days.

Stayed at the Ziva around mid August and it was very relaxing. Everyone was always so eager to help you . The 2 pools were never too crowded and I had no complaints about the food. Breakfast as the choice z has everything you could ever need. Although the choices on the dinner menus at the restaurants were limited I think everyone will be able to find something they can enjoy. Drinks were flowing all the time. Night entertainment went thru 10 usually at the Ziva and midnight at Zilara. It was just an all around great experience. If you are a fitness enthusiast they have a full 2 floor gym on the premises.

I just completed the Travel Auth Form and read some information on their website. Did you recall if we will have to wear mask and if they are observing social distancing practices?

We were able to take them off when walking around outside, in the pool, and while we were eating but when speaking to staff or in closed spaces we had to keep them on.
