Hyatt Ziva Cancun - REVIEW - MASTER THREAD
#301
The hotel should allow you to add your child for the cash co-pay upon arrival. WoH cannot do this for you in advance.
Points values are subjective. AI values are even more subjective. That's going to be up to you what you feel is worth it. As far as AIs in Cancun, Hyatt Ziva Cancun is a beautiful resort with decent food and excellent service. Though I don't believe 2 days are enough.

I'm trying to plan a trip in August and I'm only getting 1.7 cents per point. I usually like to get at least 2 cents because I would have to transfer points from UR to do this. However, I'm thinking about doing it because I have the points and I don't see myself flying international premium class anytime soon (6 month and 3 year old)! I also inquired about upgrading to a suite and according to the CSR I spoke to, the data points of 6,000 points to upgrade are only if you pay cash for the base room. If you want to use points, it's 40,000 points for a suite. Thought people might be interested in that.

That's a good question - I didn't book it yet so I didn't get into the fine details of occupancy. I will look into that at some point. I suspect it is still 2 people but that is pure speculation.

We are staying 3 nights on points and 4 on the certificates from Hyatt CC. The 4 free nights included the kids so no extra fees using the certificates. I wanted to book 2 rooms for the extra 3 nights but I was told they did not have adjoining rooms. So I opted to keep us all together in the same room at 50k points/night.
I just confirmed with concierge that we are upgraded to Ocean view for our entire stay. The free nights certificate and booking with points only gets you resort view.

I too emailed the conceirge to ask for an upgrade for our an anniversary and was upgraded to an Ocean View.
We are staying 4 nights using the certificates with a family of four.
As far as the transportation to the hotel, I see some of you used the hotel if you were higher status. Is there any other options or are they the best to use?
Thank you in advance.

Look into USA Transfers or Canada Transfer. Both are reliable and you will pay 1/3 for transportation. You have to prearrange it (via their website).

(We were there last month. Paid $55 round trip for 2 plus tip using USA Transfers. Big van but we were by ourselves)

Thanks appreciate the recommendation. Seems like it'll be 65 round trip for 4. Not bad. One more thing off the checklist!

I took your advice and booked through USA Transfers, only question is what time do they pick you up the day you are departing cancun? It only asked for my flight departure time.

3 hours before your flight departure time. A few hours after you book online, they will email you the "vouchers" which will have your pick-up time listed. You can always email them back if you desire a slightly earlier or later pick-up...but usually 3 hours before departure is perfect.

A tip for all: After you exit the Customs hall, DO NOT talk to anyone in the "car rental / information / book your excursions" hall. Keep walking until you are outside the building and over there you will see dozens of representatives from various companies and you can find USA Transfers greeters a few feet away.
