New All-Inclusive Hyatt Ziva Coming to Barbados
A wholly owned Barbadian company has applied for planning permission to construct a Hyatt Ziva hotel in Carlisle Bay, a small natural harbor located in the southwest region of Barbados.
The development fits into the Government’s overall vision for the area and specifically the redevelopment of the Pierhead area. The construction has received some local criticism but seems on track to become reality. A demolition of old buildings is already under way, to make way for the commercial center’s first major hotel.
Hyatt Ziva Barbados replaces the originally approved Hyatt Centric. Project budget will be approximately $175M. It will include buildings from 10 to 18 floors. There will be 380 hotel rooms and 40 condominiums.
The project will provide infrastructure improvements to surrounding neighborhoods and improved beach access and amenities along Shurland Alley. Completion is expected in early 2022.
The Hyatt Ziva Barbados will be an all-inclusive property. Barbadians will have access to the hotel. Creating partnerships with local suppliers will be essential. Sourcing locally produced goods, including produce of all types, spirits and arts and crafts will be important for the hotel. The Hyatt Ziva Barbados design has taken in to consideration the spirit of Bridgetown. The project will incorporate aspects of significant historical and architectural value.

Hyatt Ziva/Zillara Rose Hall has become aweful
How so, and how many times did you stay there to see it go downhill? I’m not being snarky, I genuinely want to know. My wife and I were only there once, about a year and a half ago, so we couldn’t make a comparison between different visits. I’ve been to probably a couple of dozen all-inclusive hotels and the Zilara was the best I’ve stayed in by a large margin. Superb rooms, surprisingly good food, and the best service I’ve enjoyed in Jamaica after a dozen visits in multiple places.
Will compete head-on with the Hilton & Radisson which are really showing their age.
The above picture looks a lot better than the other renderings I saw on DealsWeLike where it was impressively ugly, rather like an office park by the beach. I love Barbados but I’m not sure this will provide competition to the Ziva/Zilara Rose Hall in Montego Bay.
