Fodor's Expert Review Hyatt Ziva
Carretera a Barra de Navidad (Carretera 200), Km 3.5, at Playa Las Estacas, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, 48300, Mexico Fodor's Choice
Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.
The dramatic view of the gorgeous, rock-edged beach is just one reason that this all-inclusive is special. Theme nights go a bit beyond the usual Mexican fiestas: You'll find salsa dancing classes, reggae nights, and movies on the beach. Instead of buffet restaurants there are six à la carte eateries, including seafood, Mexican, international, and an adults-only Italian dinner restaurant. All of the charming suites have excellent views, but only the newer ones have balconies, some with a hot tub. There are tons of activities for both kids and adults, and no wristbands (required at most All-Inclusives to identify guests) to clash with your resort-casual clothes.
