Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Star rating

The hotel

The All Inclusive Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall offers a huge range of room options, all with gorgeous views of the surrounding tropical gardens or the ocean. You can even choose a room with direct pool access or upgrade to Club Level for special privileges. Tucked between the mountains and the sea, it’s hailed as a paradise of rest, relaxation and recreation and rightly so! Prepare yourself for 'Service from the Heart!' — a genuine warm Jamaican welcome and service with a smile. For something a little special, head to the spa for a relaxing massage or body wrap. Whilst you do, the kids can play with other youngsters at their very own club, building sandcastles or getting stuck into some arts and crafts. With regards to restaurants, you’ll find plenty on your doorstep — at the Ziva, there’s a whole range of world cuisines to choose from! Visit Italy one night, and Asia when the mood takes you. We doubt very much you’ll be homesick but if you are, head to Union Jack’z — an English tavern that not only serves pub favourites but also features live music too. Alternatively, sip on cocktails on the rooftop at the Moroccan-inspired Fez.

Pros: The resort itself is nice. The pool and lagoon are great. They have good music and activities at the pool side. Room was spacious with view of the ocean.

Pros: The resort itself is nice. The pool and lagoon are great. They have good music and activities at the pool side. Room was spacious with view of the ocean. We were a group of 10 and when we checked in they had already made reservations for our group at each restaurant (these were at 6:30 pm which might be too early for most people BUT you’d be done with dinner in time to catch the entertainment which starts at 7:30). The masala chai at the choissez restaurant is decent. Jerk shack has good jerk chicken and pork. Cons: staff is not very friendly or prompt. There are many staff members around but they all seem to be busy talking to each other than attending to guests. House keeping would leave random rags and cleaning bottles behind after cleaning our room. They left the trash can on the counter one time. When we went to the restaurants, the waiters would immediately ask for our appetizer/ meals before asking what we’d like to drink first. Almost like they just want you to eat and leave quickly. Although you’re staying at the Hyatt, keep in mind you’re on island time. The Calypso restaurant is supposed to open at 11:30. I arrived at 11:40 and they were still setting up and not open. The staff member didn’t apologize just said they are not ready and walked off with a shrug of her shoulders. They have a water aerobics class and after spending 15 mins on the mic getting people at the pool to sign up for the class, we had a group of 10 people in the water ready to start but NO instructor! There was no communication from the person on the mic who just disappeared and after 15 mins of us standing around, one of the GUESTS ran the class. I hope they gave her a free night. The food is TERRIBLE and as a result there is so much food waste. We had one vegetarian in our group and she had a hard time finding something palatable to eat. The rest of our group didn’t enjoy the food either. The only decent food was at the Italian and French restaurant. Not coming back again. Read less

Friendly staff. Clean Hotel. Good food. Great vibes. Jerk Chicken was delicious. Close to the airport and airport transportation was efficient. Painted pickleball lines at the tennis courts with 4 nets. Nice gym. Variety of specialty restaurants. Be sure to make reservations at the time of arrival.

I have been to other Hyatt Zivas that were amazing and I expected the same experience, unfortunately, that was not the case at Rose Hall. Our kids still had a great time but we would not return based on food and staff interaction. Read less

This is our second visit to Ziva/Zilara. This beachfront location boasts exceptional beauty and extraordinary features. The quality of the food, entertainment, and rooms are of a high standard. The gym facilities are impressive, in excellent condition, and very inviting. The staff’s attention to detail and genuine hospitality further underscored why this destination remains our favourite for special occasions. These are the reasons we prioritized Ziva/Zilara above other nearby hotels to celebrate our wedding anniversary. However, our stay commenced with a few challenges. One of our primary concerns was the failure of the hot water pump system. . During our two-week holiday, we were unable to use the shower in our private rooms for over 24 hours due to a hot water system repair. The system failed twice, causing significant concern, disappointment, and frustration. This impacted our stay negatively and even affected the health of one family member. We understand it was a challenging situation for the hotel management to restore the system to a working standard. Despite the initial challenges, the staff and management team carefully addressed our concerns and took responsibility for any issues. They maintained high standards of care and support to us throughout our stay. We would like to say a special thank you to Adrian Whitehead, Stefan Onofrei, and Dezreen Reid Stewart for their dedication and commitment. We look forward to returning to Ziva/Zilara soon. Read less
