Cons — Hyatt Ziva Cancún

  • High rates can create value pressure, especially for guests who do not use the upgraded room or family amenities.

  • Some guest feedback mentions cabana pricing, upsells, and premium items despite the all-inclusive positioning.
  • Dining receives mostly positive feedback, but some guests find select restaurants or buffet timing inconsistent.
  • Wedding groups, evening entertainment, and pool activity can create noise variability depending on room location.

Cons — Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte

  • Food, drinks, spa, and resort extras can feel expensive by local standards.
  • Some rooms and public areas are described as dated or affected by dampness in recent guest feedback.
  • The resort is large and spread out, so some room locations involve longer walks.
  • Buffet areas and family-heavy periods can feel noisy.
  • Service is often praised, but a minority of recent guest feedback reports inconsistency.
