Accurate video! Ive gone every four - 5 months or so for past 3 years..it is my favorite resort and the staff , food, entertainment is amazing! Best gym in a resort ive ever seen!. Fun fact- save yourself $ stay on Ziva side since its closer to Choices and pool is bigger, beach less rocky and walk to Zilara to mix it up. Club oceanview room.... never been when there were ever a ton of kids but they have a kidz club. Catamarans are fun to go out on and included. It wasnt a fox by the way its a mongoose! :) Worth every dollar!

I must commend you on creating one of the finest video vlogs about this hotel. Unlike many others, you not only showcase areas that often go unnoticed but also cut to the chase, emphasizing the hotel itself rather than focusing on your personal experiences. Most bloggers tend to center their content around themselves, which I find uninteresting. My primary interest lies in understanding what the hotel has to offer, not the individual behind the camera.

Thank You so much! I feel the exact same way! When I travel I do my best to show the area, the environment, things that matter. I don’t care abt folks outfit of the day, or dancing for the camera. If I show anything abt me it’s usually pretty quick and brief. 😂

Hey! I’m so glad my video helped! They’re a tour company and they specialize in giving personal tours and picking you up and taking you to any of the excursions that are in the vicinity so whatever you would want to do you were just let them know and they would charge you and then they would take you over to the location for you to enjoy the activity. Hosan the guy that you see on our videos are one of the owners. If you would just let them know what all you want to see, and do, and they would help to make that happen.

I was curious about food and entertainment on the zilara side. Do ppl on the zilara side have to go to ziva to eat and have entertainment? Because that would mean you will be around kids even though you stay at the adult side if you have to go over to ziva to eat and get entertainment.
@Love_SumLotta Жыл бұрын
It depends on the day for entertainment. The iPad thing I showed shows you events and on what side is happening on. The Buffet restaurant is located on the Ziva side. The tour started on the Zilara side so you can see the few places to eat over there. You don’t have to eat at the buffet that’s just where we chose to go. There’s a part in the video where I’ll let you know once were entering the Ziva side. But yes, if you do go over to the Ziva side, you will encounter children. But you don’t have to go over there and you can still eat and go to an event if the Zilara side has one. Honestly besides the time we ate breakfast, I really didn’t see that many kids. But I hope that answers your questions.
