I did hear former GM came from Hyatt and has left here in the past year. Sounds like standards are not as high here now. Cost cotting moves????????

Los Cabo’s is hands down the best. Both Rose Hall locations (Ziva & Zillara) are going through MAJOR cost cutting at a time when the other Hyatt Zivas & Zillara’s are getting significantly better. The Rose Hall property is also now being usd as a Cruze “day excursion” for very little money. They are also selling day passes to locals or anyone for $50pp. Even the Mimosa served at breakfast was pored from an industrial generic container and was pre-mixed before it even arrived at the hotel. Even the staff is aware of this and moral doesn’t seem to be the same. So unfortunate to see this happening.
I’ve considered writing an in-depth review, however the level of cutbacks and reductions is so significant that I would rather just answer questions as they come.
Sad to see this once great resort dying like this.

I liked Zilara Cancun last year, is Rose Hall really a downgrade from Cancun?

Zilara Rose Hall used to be superior to Zillara Cancun. This is no longer the case. Ziva Cabo has an adults only pool.

Funny:
Today at "family friendly" Ziva Rose Hall with young and teenage kids everywhere I happened to catch the daytime entertainment which involved guys dressing up like girls giving the judge their best chick pick up line. And immediately when i walked over to the Adults Only I saw they were playing traditional BINGO. Reversal of expectations anyone?

A bit upsetting to hear since I booked a week on points at Rose Hall Zilara a few months back when reviews said it was more of a toss up between it and Cancun. Hopefully they at least fix the hot water and some more manageable issues by the time I go in late February (week after President's week, so hoping for a lot less children).

So, the wife and I are booked Feb. 2-6 at Ziva using a suite upgrade to an ocean view Junior Suite.
It's just the two of us, no kids.
Zilara just had room availability open up using points this morning, but doesn't look like suite upgrades are available.
All that being said, if you were in my situation, which side would you chose?

They did have one when we were there (I believe in building 4), but we never even bothered going since like you said, what's the point at an all inclusive? I vaguely remember someone posting about higher quality alcohol in the club vs. the rest of the property.

Yes, free name brand alcohol is the only reason to go to Club. The Club is actually in building 1, the old RC building.
