    My view from my table
    Amie M F.

    Absolutely adore this spot. It wasn't noisy, very clean, and they lit candles at sunset. We ordered the beef center, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and two Ed baked potato. Carlos was our waiter and he was very attentive and kind. I would recommend making a reservation so you can have dinner with the sunset. So happy we did.

    The Blaze is one of the restaurants located on site at the Hyatt Ziva all-inclusive resort. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's located right on the beach with stunning views while you dine. When it comes to ambience, Blaze cannot be topped. You're literally less than 100 feet from the ocean. If you sit along the rail near the check-in area you may look down on the rocks and see the resident grifter iguana named Panchita who will literally just chill there all day and have people throw food at it. I fell for it too and threw him some pieces of cantaloupe (after Googling to make sure it was safe for the iguana to eat). If you do decide to feed Panchita, please make sure you're offering something that isn't toxic to iguanas. A quick Google search will help you and Panchita. 5 stars for the ambience. Service at Blaze is overall pretty good. There were a few times we had to wait a little bit for our water to get refilled, but the staff were friendly and most of the time on top of things. I'd say 4-stars for service. Food was quite good! We had two breakfasts at Blaze. The first breakfast was quite good and the 2nd one was not as great. We came in near the close of breakfast and I think they rushed it. My hash browns were burnt pretty bad (they exploded when I tried to cut into them) and my g/f's food was burnt too. We didn't try Blaze for lunch, so no comments on their lunch. For dinner, we ate there 3 times. Each time our meals were very good. Steaks were cooked to our liking and had great taste. Sides were all very tasty. Their signature cocktails weren't very good in my opinion, but when I ordered something I liked at a different bar they made that very well. Dessert was uninspiring. Their coconut/tapioca dessert was lacking something. The chocolate cake/vanilla ice cream was their best offering that we had. Overall, I'd give the food about 4.5 stars. Overall, I think it's a solid 4 experience. Getting to enjoy a tasty ribeye while watching waves crash is pretty special and something you'd likely pay hundreds of dollars to do anywhere else. Here at Blaze, it's pretty much free (though I'd recommend tipping the wait staff). We ate here 3 nights out of the 7 nights we had dinner and I'd have no problems going back.

    Blaze is my favorite restaurant on this all inclusive property. Amazing open air restaurant to watch sunsets while in Mexico. Service is good but language differences can make it difficult sometimes. Lunch they have a nice fish taco - I tried the burger but not my favorite. Steaks at dinner cooked to perfection. New menu is not as exciting. I will say from one year ago we where so looking forward to some items that no longer on the menu. So disappointing.

    Breakfast was delicious! Loved their green chilaquiles with hot sauce and the view was beautiful even on a rainy morning!

    The amount of drinks I needed to get through tonight's painfully slow meal!!

    Oh the service!!!!! The lack of it!! First night in puerto Vallarta! First night at my first all inclusive. And this spot. Dining at this spot made me wanna repack and go home!!! The crappiness of it all!! First off: this is one of the five restaurants inside Hyatt Ziva. And it has the most beautiful views and also the most promising reviews. I skipped sunset on the beach for a meal with the sunset views!! Even got the last table by the water. Gorgeous, stunning views. And that was all there is!!! Our server suck ballz!!! A reverse racism also suck!!! I look Spanish! Except I'm not! He spoke to me in Spanish till I said I can't understand jack! Gave me the iPad of wine menu! Aka the non included part of all inclusive!! For a while!! Because he failed to tell me that the only wine that were included are house red and white!! Tried to upsell the champagne I have in champagne page.. without knowing they are all champagne! He chose the most expansive one too!! Ballinger for $3600 pesos! The markup is real!! And the Italian anger in me is also real!! You suck!! And it keep getting worst!! This was a Brazilian grill! So obviously, they bring out all the meat to your table. I can see the kitchen! I can see the meat! The fish! Nothing came for a good half hour! They all went to every single table except mine!! Umm hello!?!!! Turns out!! I needed to eat the salad first in order to get my meal!!! Since I'm a chick! Ha!! Thanks sexist server!! There was a guy dining alone behind me: a big guy! With all the meat he can eat! Came after me! Ate before me! Finished before me!! But yea.. I'm a girl! "Oh you don't eat salad sinorita? You just want all the meat like a man?" Yes I wanted something that's not from the salad bar that's been sitting out!! I got a total of 5 pieces of meat! 3 fresh habaneroes.. not without the same sexist server making fun of me in broken english. Oh now you want a drink? All those papers are hot. Not for you. How about maybe u just bring me a drink and leave the unnecessary comments out! This was the rudest most sexist meal! The meat was all salty af! The drinks -all 4 of them tasted like crap. So I left them all. And the severs!! Except for the hostess at front and perhaps one other person that was forced to come to my table but didn't speak a single word of English! Horrible! They were nice to all the Spanish couples and men!! Just not this chick that look Spanish! And didn't get the salad! Zero star!! Thanks but no thanks!! Every other place in here was wayyy better!! But this, never again!

    While there are a couple of really nice places to eat at the Ziva, this is my favorite. The service is quite good, the food is really good and the view... Simply amazing! I have had the filet here a couple of times and it is really seasoned well, tender and grilled to perfection. Today I had the French Toast and I think it was one of the lightest, most flavorful that I can remember. I had the mole chicken enchilada as well, very nicely done. The eggs Benedict was more than competent as well. I think of we go back to the Ziva we will eat more meals there next time. Carlos really went out of his way to make sure the wife and I were well taken care of. The rest of the staff was also top notch with shout outs to Alejandro, Susana, Aracel, Hector, Joel, Miguel, Jose Luis. You all worked together as a team and made our visit one we will never forget and hopefully soon repeat.

    Beautiful setting on a beautiful beach. Appreciate the staff making the extra effort to make my added to go order as presentable as the sit down meal. I had breakfast and lunch here and the favorite for my family was the whole fried fish. So fresh and perfectly cooked!

    It's a pretty good place with nine view. I like the New York steak and chef's salad. Do not order too much because the meals are big enough for you.

    What an incredible experience eating at The Blaze. I on vacation with my mother at the hayatt hotel at Puerto Vallera. Orr if the deal as that guests if the hayatt can eat at The Blaze. It is located literally 3 feet from the ocean, and it has patio seating. We sat on the patio and were able to hear the sound of the ocean waves, and beautiful birds flying around us. I ate the daily catch of fish which was snapper. It came on a hot plate with grilled vegetables and rice. My mother ordered chicken ceased salad, which she said was great.

    Our new favorite taco joint. We went there, were seated right away. Service was good and fast…read more We ordered the casa fundido with Al Pastor on top. It's thicker, more cheesy than what I've ever had before and very delicious. We paired that with the prime rib tacos, it was a plate stacked with meat and 4 tortillas under it, more than we could eat. The seasoning was great, it was diced so small that it was easy to eat. I got a virgin strawberry margarita, the wife got a coke. It was very affordable.

The ribeye had so much fat that we had to pick through it just to eat it. The al pastor was very average - I've had much better at plenty of other taco spots. The biggest disappointment was the chorizo. It wasn't traditional chorizo at all; it looked and tasted more like chopped-up hot dogs. We barely touched it because it wasn't what we ordered expecting, and it just wasn't good. The presentation also wasn't appealing. The meat was simply piled on top of two tortillas, making everything messy and difficult to eat. They were also pretty stingy with the grilled jalapeños. The salsas didn't do the food any favors either. None of them really stood out, and the green guacamole salsa actually tasted like it had gone bad, so we stopped eating it. Service was attentive, but almost too attentive. Staff kept coming by every few minutes to ask if we were finished or if we needed anything. While I appreciate good service, it made us feel like we were being rushed through our meal instead of being able to enjoy it at our own pace. Overall, I don't understand the high ratings based on our experience. With so many amazing taco spots in Puerto Vallarta, this one didn't come close to meeting the hype. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

We both ordered margaritas and they brought chips and pico de gallo. We also ordered the tuna sashimi. This was our favorite dish of the night. A huge platter of tuna served with crusty bread. It was unique and delicious! I also ordered the pirey. The frijoles and guacamole were yummy as was the stuffing. I found the fish and sauce a bit mild. My partner ordered the octopus and snail. He loved it. This was his favorite restaurant of the trip, and he was ready to return the next day. I'd definitely recommend this for the uniqueness and flavors.
