Thinking About Upgrading to Club Level at Hyatt Cap Cana? Here’s the Honest Answer.

If you’re planning a trip to the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana (adults-only) or Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana (family-friendly) in the Dominican Republic, you might be wondering if the Club Level upgrade is worth the extra spend.

After my recent stay in a Club Level room at Zilara, I can confidently say: It depends on what matters most to you.



✅ Pros of Booking Club Level at Hyatt Zilara or Ziva Cap Cana

1. Quiet Pool with Premium Swim-Up Bar

If you're someone who enjoys peace and quiet over pool games and Zumba classes, you'll love the exclusive Club Pool. It features:

  • A quieter atmosphere

  • Swim-up bar with premium liquor

  • Fewer crowds and more chairs

Perfect for those lazy afternoons away from the party vibe of the main pool.

2. Preferred Room Location with Ocean Views

Club Level rooms are often oceanfront or in prime locations, ideal for beach lovers who value a stunning view and a shorter walk to amenities.

3. Exclusive À La Carte Dining

Club guests have access to two additional restaurants:

  • A healthy dining restaurant perfect for vegans, guests with allergies, or anyone who eats clean.

  • A seafood-focused restaurant that served some of the best tuna tartar I’ve ever had.

These restaurants are available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, making Club Level a great pick for foodies or anyone looking to avoid buffets.

4. Air-Conditioned Lounge with Premium Drinks & Snacks

The Club Lounge offers:

  • A cool escape during the day

  • Televisions for sports or quiet evening wind-downs

  • A daily spread of light snacks, breakfast, and grab-and-go items

This is especially valuable in hot weather when you need a chill break from the sun.

❌ Cons of Booking Club Level

  • Beach-focused guests may not use the lounge or pool, making the upgrade less impactful.

  • Food variety may not matter if you’re happy with burgers, pizza, and buffet options.

  • Lounge duplicates evening access offered in the sports bar—just with more quiet and premium drinks.

🎯 Final Verdict: Is Club Level Worth It?

If you value peaceful pool areas, healthier dining, great seafood, and premium comfort, then Club Level at Hyatt Zilara or Ziva Cap Cana is 100% worth it.

But if your travel style leans toward all-day beach lounging and casual eats, you may not need the extra perks.

Either way, these properties offer incredible service, and Club Level just takes it to the next level—if it matches your style.
