great review! Ziva has the paradise, feel, not to mention if you don’t feel like eating in a restaurant, they have 24 hour room, service available and you don’t have to be club member, and the food is still incredible! The ambience, and atmosphere and easy access to walk around on the ground and just enjoy yourselves. Isn’t comparable to feeling like you’re in a huge resort, needing a buggy to get around. Also, the nightly entertainment was amazing and big crowd pleaser!
I really appreciate your videos. From this review, i think i will book ziva. Keep doing what u are doing. Good Job! I like u show the food its important to me.
I’ve been on both, and I think it depends on the family ages and interests. My kids are older than your daughter and they certainly LOVE and prefer by far The Grand. For my pre-teens, it is paradise, while Ziva could be boring
I'm happy I found this vlog. Was considering the moon palace but due to the large size I think it will be too much for my 72 year old mom. Thanks for the video!!
I have stayed at both. We were turned off by the different wrist band options at the Grand as well as the no ocean view. We left early and went to the Ziva .
@@BoaStoryTV We found the wristband hierarchy very aggravating. Not being able to sit in certain lounge chairs even though no one was using them due to these chairs being reserved for other wristband holders was crappy. Yes the restaurants were great as well as the kids play areas but lack of ocean view as well as the said wristband issue was enough for us to leave early and go back to the Ziva Cancun.
no good, we took one look at the beach and left. if you like to enjoy the beach go to Ziva. to be fair seaweed is very common at Cancun resorts. The beach vibe is way better at Ziva that i'm sure of. cheers. 🍺
@@BoaStoryTV Thanks for the reply! Sounds like the seaweed is common during more warmer months. Besides the seaweed, what were other reasons you didn't like the beach vibe at Grand?
you have to FIND the beach entrance as well, only the buggy can take you there. it's just not as clear and direct access as Ziva, where you just walk straight directly out from the pools. it was just more annoying to go to the beach at the grand that once we found it we just left lol
Ziva best value to book with points. You can't beat 25000 ($250) points/night for two people. Ziva rooms do have Jacuuzi but they are in their upper end club rooms.
I have been 6 times on TGMP and 1 time on the hotel zone , I prefer Moon because of the food mainly, space , have 7 pools at the Grand food on many places , don't have to go to the main Looby to eat there are plenty of places to eat .
Hi man! It's not a simple answer but i will try to answer you. First I have to say I like Ziva better. In my opinion, I think Moon Palace has a better kids club because of the waterpark, and that's it. Moon Palace does have a nice asian restaurant, but their Buffet is not as good as Ziva Buffet. Moon palace buffet is not good. Also, I don't like moon palace restaurant reservation system, we had to wait 2 days to eat at the steak restaurant, that means the restaurant cannot serve all the guest that is staying in the resort. One night we tried the Mexican restaurant, it was not good. And the french restaurant does not allow kids. So overall I think Ziva has the better food vesus Moon Palace. Ziva buffet is so good, i could eat the breakfast, lunch, dinner and i'll be very happy. I cannot recommend Moon Palace because there's just too much things i did not like about it. I hope this help you out!
Excellent choice, if you want to see more on Ziva i have a few videos you can watch, after your trip let me know how you like Ziva, i would like to know your experience. my ziva videos are here in the link ua-cam.com/video/BquSG0m_Hqg/v-deo.html
Your review seems to have little details and facts behind each category, and just your opinion with little backing it up. I’ve been to Moon Palace multiple times (not even the Grand), and it was amazing. The waking is not an issue. I’ve been with young kids and older parents, and getting around is not an issue. Not sure why it’s so large an issue for you. Also, you talk about how close they are to the shopping mall. Really? Who cares? I don’t go to Mexico to go to the mall, I go for relaxing. To each his own, but from what I saw of Ziva I’m not impressed.
yes terry, you are right, it is all my opinion from MY experience. i commented about the shopping mall because thats what I like to do, it is my relaxing hobby. i am happy you love moon palace, but it's not for me.

Hi Maria, thanks for sharing! I'm sure if my daugther could talk she would say she likes the Grand more as well!
I have a 20 and 16 year old. Which one do you recommend 🤔

Such a helpful review! You covered so many topics. Great video too. Thank you!

Thank you. Your daughter is very cute. I like the water park, it keeps the kids busy.
Thank you !~ yes she also enjoyed the water park so much!

i can't believe you left early lol! 👍😂👍

Yea the restaurants were great, did you get to try out Habibi or Jade? Those 2 were my favorite.
Thank you so much for your review and comparison . I really enjoyed watching your videos. Subscribed 😊🏖🏖🏖
Thank you for your comment, i'm happy you actually likes my videos 🤣. cheers! 🍺👍
How was the beach water at Grand? I keep reading it's murky and full of seaweed whereas Ziva's beaches seem to be cleaner and clearer.
no good, we took one look at the beach and left. if you like to enjoy the beach go to Ziva. to be fair seaweed is very common at Cancun resorts. The beach vibe is way better at Ziva that i'm sure of. cheers. 🍺

Oh really! That is great to know, I will have to check points for Hyatt properties in the future, Thanks for that! 👍🍺
Omg, I was considering MP but thank God I found this video. I guess is a no for MP. I love ocean view
Yes! That is exactly what I have been trying to say, thanks for the comment👍🍺
Genial, me ayudaste a tomar una decisión.
that's good! I'm happy to hear that, thanks bro 🍺👍

Hi Alejandro, i'm happy you enjoyed the grand to go 6 times. Once is enough for me. Thanks for watching 😃
No water park at Ziva?
No, but there was a very tiny kids slide in the kids recreation area, it wasn't open when i was there.
Conclusion, ziva needs a waterpark n kids club. Lol.
that's right 😂
@@BoaStoryTV they are going to have one in new Hyatt ZIva Riveria :)
@@sunnyprashar2722 ya i heard about that one too
i appreciate your comparison. Can you tell me if the quality , presentation and most important the taste better in Ziva or Moon? thank you

@@BoaStoryTV thanks for this information. I booked my vacation to Ziva yesterday. I was not sure until I read your reply. Thanks for your insight.

thank you , very useful !
🍺🙏😃 thank you
what a great video and it's very useful to decide
thank you! i”m happy to hear it was of some use 👍🍺😃
For a family with kids… grand all they way. Not even a competition.
i feel ya!
Is there even a resort that compares with a better beach though, I've been watching lots of videos and no luck 😢
can't have it all, gotta pick and choose. or stay at grand for a few days for kids to enjoy and then switch to another resort for adults to relax.

Never use CC when in a foreign country.
Lol why is that???? I ALWAYS use credit card lol....Just make sure the card doesn't charge international fee's and it's all good.
