The Resort Flock Verdict
Both now sit under the Hyatt corporate umbrella (ALG/Hyatt) and earn World of Hyatt points, but they're positioned differently. Hyatt Ziva and Zilara are flagships — high-end, fewer properties, strong design. Secrets is a broader brand with 30+ resorts across Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe, making it the more scalable loyalty bet for frequent all-inclusive travellers. Hyatt Ziva/Zilara wins on resort quality per property; Secrets wins on portfolio depth and points-redemption opportunities.

The Secrets Spa by Pevonia is a hallmark amenity, featuring hydrotherapy circuits, steam rooms, and a full menu of treatments.
