All 244 rooms within the North Tower were renovated with new air-conditioning systems, woodwork, decor and amenities. A new terrace provides 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean and a stunning new venue for weddings or other gatherings.

New dining concepts include the new Asian-fusion and Teppanyaki restaurant, Tamari. The resort will also open Melanzanne, a new Italian restaurant, later this year. 

Additionally, children aged 4-12 will enjoy a refreshed KidZ Club with a new jungle theme.

Other renovated spaces include a redesigned lobby, pickleball courts, and structural changes. Renovated elevators and emergency stairways will be completed in the North Tower later this year.  

"Delivering exceptional hospitality requires ongoing innovation, and we are excited to unveil these revitalized spaces at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta," said Fernando Mulet, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of Playa Hotels & Resorts. "These updates not only enhance the guest experience but also reinforce our commitment to setting new standards in all-inclusive luxury through elevated accommodations and innovative experiences. We can't wait to welcome guests back to rediscover this stunning resort."
