My husband and I along with three other couples stayed in the swim out rooms n the Hyatt Zilara the adult only side. Resort definitely could use some upgrades and the food was not that great. We made the best of it. They will switch alcohol on you when they run out, so be mindful of that. Make your dinner reservations early because the late reservations they will tell you they ran out of food and drinks. They have no late night food options on the adult side except room service and the options are not good. The resort has potential but the need a major overhaul. Read less

Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall offers the convenience of being close to the airport and boasts a lively nightlife scene, a well-equipped gym, and engaging poolside activities. The rooms feature pleasant balconies, and standout service was provided by Sharlene at the Jerk Hut and Loraine at the spa. However, the resort falls short in several key areas. There is little enforcement of adult-only policies at Zilara, and the frequent smell of marijuana takes away from the atmosphere. The food is average at the restaurants which left us consistently saying to ourselves that we wished we just went to the buffet which is saying a lot. The rooms are also dated. Housekeeping was inconsistent—on two occasions, the room wasn’t cleaned, and even when it was, the service seemed minimal, leading to repeated calls to the front desk for towels. Additionally, the restaurant reservation system was frustrating, as we were turned away at the Italian restaurant despite the dining area being mostly empty. The air conditioning system is also problematic, with an auto setting that cannot be adjusted, often resulting in discomfort. Overall, I would not return to this location or recommend it to others.

The worst Concierge Desk at Hyatt Zilara Adult side ever. Let’s start w the Discover card snafu on Hotels part. I ordered Door Decor w ballon’s for my daughter’s bachelorette party. Took 4 days to get it done over the phone and emails Tanese Lawrence promised to take a picture of the completed project when completed. Never happened. They botched the decor order and when I tried to correct it , they went ahead anyway. I complained to manager Kerian Davis told her white only ballon’s and could they make a correction. She insisted they refund my money but I didn’t request a refund just a correction. Nope she refunded my money and had the door decor removed frm my daughter’s room. So unprofessional rude and Petty. Kerian Davis does not have the common sense for a management position imo. Staff is short handed and I’m sure could have been more productive doing anything more important. Rated F for failure Read less

The warm Jamaican welcome, complete with refreshing drinks and friendly smiles, instantly set the tone for what turned out to be one of the best vacations we've ever had. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the mini bar was always stocked, and housekeeping was prompt and courteous. We especially loved the balcony where we spent every morning sipping coffee and soaking in the sunshine. Read less
