Upon arriving at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos with your kids in tow, you'll be greeted by multiple staff members welcoming you to the largest hotel in the Los Cabos area.

Despite having 591 rooms, Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos isn't really that big when you compare it to the resorts of Cancun, allowing parents to feel comfortable letting their kids explore the property on their own.

And that's just the first reason why Hyatt Ziva is the perfect family resort.

Standing at the edge of the lobby, visitors will notice the beauty of the resort from the lagoon with fire pits and lounging couches to the multiple pools that lead all the way to the sandy beach.

At the center of family fun at this all-inclusive resort are the pools, and while Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos has a centralized infinity pool with a swim-up bar for the whole family to enjoy, there is also an adults-only pool for parents who need some "we-time."

While parents are enjoying quiet-time at the adults-only pool, kids can check out the KidZ Club, a program with supervised activities for children ages four to 12. The KidZ Club has everything from a kids pool with games like water polo and five slides at the mini-park, to motorized mini cars, a playground, table and board games, and arts and crafts.

Your kids will be plenty entertained while you enjoy a frozen drink and shareable plates of ceviche at the adults-only pool bar.

A little time apart during the day will make those times when families come together - like at Hyatt Ziva's multiple restaurants - all that much better.

The dining choices are almost endless at this resort. For instance, you can choose from diverse cuisines at the hotel's buffet, La Plaza, which even has its own children's area with fun snacks like their favorite candies.

In the evenings, families can dress up and show out at the resort's best dinner restaurants. Chow down on Spanish Tapas at El Cortijo, or marvel at chefs cooking on teppanyaki grills right in front of the table at DoZo. If parents want a romantic night out, go for Bon Vivant, the upscale French restaurant on-site. If the family prefers to be closer to the beach, there's always an Italian meal available at Zaffrio or Mexican and South American cuisine at La Hacienda.

With all the fun you'll be having throughout the day, you and the kids will need a snack. Coco Loco Snack Bar is a perfect stop for ceviche or a burrito, and the same can be said for the 24-hour Deli Cactus. Or go for something simpler like a pick-me-up latte and an ice cream cone at the Coffee House.

In the evenings, families can take advantage of multiple themed-shows in the resort's theaters. After the thrilling show, parents can put the kids to bed and enjoy a drink at El Agave, listen to live piano music in the Piano Bar, or catch a game at the Spirit of 1968, the hotel's resident sports bar.

As for what room to book, it's hard to go wrong at Hyatt Ziva. They offer everything from two-bedroom suites to swim-up suites, however, most families will want to check out the Ziva Suite. Located near the kid's club and pool, the suite has a king-sized bed for parents and a sofa bed for the kids. There are even two bathrooms to fit the entire family.

Families will also appreciate that Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos is in San Jose del Cabo, just a short 25-minute drive from the airport allowing for families to quickly shuttle the kids from the airport to the resort and start having fun.

Plus, by being in San Jose del Cabo, a quaint and relaxed city, it offers families the opportunity to explore the downtown area during an excursion off the resort. It's just a seven-minute taxi ride to San Jose's downtown area which has lovely boutiques and stores with local goods, art galleries that host a fun Art Walk on Thursday evenings, and a plaza where artists set up on Tuesday nights to show off their creative products.

After a day or evening strolling around San Jose del Cabos, return to Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos for a walk on the beach, to grab a dessert from the Coffee House, or just to sit on couches around the fire pits with s'mores in hand. There is no wrong choice at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos.
