Want to get married at Hyatt Ziva Cancun?
You may want to write this down because it’s going to get interesting…
Hyatt Ziva Cancun is not just romantic and beautiful, but it has so many wedding packages and wedding venues to choose from.
So, in this post, I’m getting into the nitty gritty, the pros and cons.
And I’m also covering the packages, venues, and the fine print I always mention to my couples.
Ready to find out what they are?
Let’s get straight to it.
Hyatt Ziva Cancun Wedding Review
1. Hotel Overview
★★★★ | FAMILY-FRIENDLY | ALL-INCLUSIVE
Paradise, heaven, oasis… these are the nouns I generally use to describe Hyatt Ziva Cancun.
This resort is surrounded on 3 sides by crystal clear waters.
And my colleague and friend Nadiya says, “you’ll get incredible views with the most fantastic colors of the water.”
This is a 547-suite, family-friendly resort set on its own peninsula in the Cancun Hotel Zone.
And it’s genuinely one of the more visually striking resorts I recommend.
This is the resort I point families and larger, mixed-age wedding groups toward.
And if part of your group wants an adults-only option, the resort’s Turquoize section solves that problem within the same property itself.
2. Wedding Packages
At Hyatt Ziva Cancun, you have 5 wedding packages to choose from.
You get options from a wedding for just the 2 of you to a celebration for a group of almost 50 guests.
Each package gets you amenities for the ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour, except Intimate Elegance which just includes the ceremony.
Wedding packages:
- Just For the Two of You | $660 for you 2
- Intimate Elegance | Possibly free, or $1,682 for 10 guests
- Lavish & Opulent | $6,251 for 20 guests
- Luxury | $13,754 for 40 guests
- Zama | $17,499 for 48 guests
More guests can be invited for $44 – $134 per extra person, depending on the package.
My friend and colleague Alison says, “the resort’s in-house wedding team is a delight to work with.”
And I agree with her a 100%!
