All of the 234 en suite rooms and suites have air conditioning, Wi-Fi, satellite TV and iPod docking stations, as well as fully furnished private terraces with views over the resort pool, gardens, or the Caribbean Sea. Swim Up rooms include direct access to a private pool, while higher tier options offer a personal butler service for the ultimate hassle-free getaway.

Location

Enveloped by swaying palm trees at the foot of the Blue Mountain ridge, the beachfront Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall has a secluded and tranquil spot within the Rose Hall estate, which dates to the 18th century. Bordered by a private beach of white sand and calm, turquoise waters, the hotel is a mere 15-minute drive to central Montego Bay.

Food and drink

Hyatt Zilara offers three dining venues, but you’ll also have access to seven others at its nearby sister hotel, Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall. Each restaurant showcases international dishes prepared using locally sourced ingredients.

You have plenty of choice, from the beachfront Jamaican Rootz to the fine-dining Petit PariZ. Other options include a modern Asian grill, Jamaican barbecue, English pub food, a steakhouse, fresh seafood and Italian cuisine. BiteZ serves sweet treats and pastries, while GrindZ is a relaxed coffee house. Private dining is also an option, and can be arranged directly through the hotel for an extra charge.

Families

This is an adult-only resort.
