Is the event/resort family friendly?

Answer

Yes! Hyatt Ziva is very family friendly and kids are invited. Although there is an adult only area for a more quiet experience too.

Are we able to stay at a different resort?

Due to the nature of the all-inclusive resort there is a fee associated for being a guest on property of $180. Additionally there would be the added cost of transportation. Ultimately, this is an option but we recommend staying at Hyatt Ziva with us.
