Our room was great, modern and clean, with a lovely balcony and day bed. The food was delicious, we didn’t have a bad meal at any of the buffets or restaurants. Jerk Hut was a favourite! The beach was beautiful…calm and warm. Plenty of cabanas and beach beds and never crowded. We had perfect weather and a fabulous time…could not have asked for anything more! Thank you to everyone who made our vacation memorable, especially the Playa Collection Members Service team…Mickalia, Naveid, Travis, Ricardo, and Henrique! We’ll be back! 😊 Read less

We’ve been to Jamaica 5 times and this was by our favorite. My husband and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. We booked through the hotel collection with American Express! Which deemed us early check in, $100 resort credit, room upgrade, and late check out!! We amazed that all were honored! Not to mention the FOOD and the SERVICE WAS TOP TIER!… Read more

Which deemed us early check in, $100 resort credit, room upgrade, and late check out!! We amazed that all were honored! Not to mention the FOOD and the SERVICE WAS TOP TIER! The entertainment was everything. We were never bored! I loved that they had hookah available, fire pits through the resort, and lots of hot tubs! This we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The beach was clean and beautiful and the pool was so much fun!!! The people Of Jamaica that worked there were the highlight! ALL WERE so kind!!!!! Which is a big difference from other Jamaican resorts. I I want to personally acknowledge Trevauhgn - potionz dj Renay - waitress urban eats Gabrielle - hookah Trudy - playa collection Ronaldo - pool bar  Stacey Ann - Housekeeper Renaldo - pool DJ Read less

Overall, my time at the resort was relaxing and enjoyable. Pros: Majority of the staff were friendly and positive. The atmosphere was welcoming and felt very safe. Security was visible everywhere. The resort was clean, though, in need of some maintenance/updates. Room was spacious. I'm unsure how booked the resort was, but it didn't feel crowded at all, which was great. Cons: shower water ran cold the last 2 days of my stay. It was bearable but barely. I did mention this to the front desk upon checkout, just so they were aware of the issue. Buffet was disappointing. Not a large variety of food choices for those who have dietary restrictions. Ate basically the same 4 foods everyday. Restaurants close at 10pm and some are only open on certain days. My boyfriend ordered room service a few times, it was "ok". There was a lack of nightly entertainment on the Zilara side. A DJ was supposed to come Sunday evening, but never showed up. The beach directly infront of Zilara is extremely rocky (in the water). Do not recommend going in the water here unless you have water shoes. The beach at Ziva was great, no rocks at all. Read less
