Children 0 to 2 years stay at no additional charge.
Children 3 to 12 years pricing changes based on seasonal fluctuations.
Guests 13 years and older are considered Adults and charged accordingly.

At the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos, due to the hotel being all inclusive, children 13 and up are considered an "extra person" as an adult and children 2-12 are considered has an "extra person" towards the occupancy of the room and charges fluctuate between an "extra person" child or adult.

Still a bit confusing as far as points redemptions. Would the base rate of 20,000 points cover 2 adults and 2 children (aged 2- 13) in a room with 2 beds (max occupancy for the room is 4)?

I see no reason to take my family there under those conditions.
Also what would be diamond benefits there given that everything is included to begin with?

Separate question for children 3-12 who don't necessarily increase the rate on cash, but are treated the same as an adult on an award?

Thanks - as i said this seems rather irrational - how can anyone equate a toddler to an adult for the purpose of all inclusive (incl alcohol!) consumption???

We have just be updated on our Diamond Amenity for All-Inclusive Hotels.
*Choice of a Food and Beverage amenity or 1,000 bonus points, if the hotel does not post 1,000 bonus points on stay 1,500 bonus will be offered.
At this time the Brand and Operations teams are still establishing standard for food and beverage offerings with Diamond status. I do apologize for the lack of information we have on at this time regarding Diamond benefits at our new all-inclusive hotels. More information to come.

I'm also confused, are you saying that on cash reservations children 0-2 are essentially free, but when on points you would owe 10,000 more points per night for children in this age group?

Sorry for the confusion but yes, children ages 0-2 are not charged as an "extra person" cash rate or points rate. Children 3-12 increase the rate on cash and are an additional 10,000 points as an "extra person" fee, when using Gold Passport points.

As it stands, a family of four with kids over 2 might as well just book two rooms on points rather than all stay in one room since it will cost the same amount.

Appreciate the clarification, and am glad to hear that kids in the 0-2 range aren't charged extra. I would also like to provide feedback, for what it's worth, that it is a disappointment that children as young as 3 will be charged the same as an extra adult when they won't eat near as much, won't drink alcohol, and won't be able to participate in all activities. I would love to see at least a reduced extra charge of something like 5k points per night for kids 3-13 or 3-16.

I understand your frustration and I am more than happy to forward your suggestions to our executive management team for review. Thank you, we really appreciate your feedback.

What an unprofessional way to set redemptions..... Did nobody take the time to think this through and is everything made up in these last few days?
Same number of points for singe and double, but an extra charge for additional adults? Why not simply have a room rate that fits current categories and charge additional points (or money) per person...
Extra for children? As already pointed out, it can be cheaper to get an extra room, or simply pay, etc....
Nothing substantial for Diamonds except the amenity.... Really?

At this time, our brand and operations management is still in the works of determining Gold Passport Tier Benefits other than the Diamond amenity bonus. As soon as we receive more information we will be sure to get the word out. We appreciate your patience.
