The Blind Butcher: Paid experience at neighboring Ziva. Minimum age unresolved (13+/18+); fee amount unverified. Coffee Republic: At neighboring Hyatt Ziva; confirm cross-resort access. One Eyed Cat: Current directory identifies a martini bar; the earlier rum description is retained as historical supplier text.

Shutters Beachside serves breakfast, lunch and dinner rather than lunch only. The Chinola is located at neighboring Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana; breakfast and lunch are for club-level guests, while dinner is open to all guests. Confirm cross-resort and club access before planning a meal. Premium private dining carries an additional cost. The saved Blind Butcher extra-cost qualification is retained; the on-site versus sister-resort venue counts remain to be reconciled.
