After a disappointing breakfast at El Mercado aka international buffet, this is my favorite brunch place thus far. There's a nice view of the beach while dining indoors. Our server was very attentive, and the best one yet. As a starter, there's access to a selection of delicious pastries, juices and fruits that you can grab at the front. The granola bowl had the right amount of yogurt, fruits, and granola. I loved all the stuffings in my omelette. For some reason, their hash browns are on dry side. It's awesome that the portions are not too large, allowing more room to try other dishes. Overall, I'm coming back for more.
The food was overall not bad, but the service was just okay. We waited almost two hours for our steaks to be cooked medium rare. However, they came out blue rare. We were lowkey a little scared to eat it but did anyways because we were starving.
This restaurant, located on the property of the Hyatt Ziva Cancun Hotel, is a steakhouse that also is used as a breakfast locale in the morning hours. We went in the evening and you have a choice of seating inside or on the outside terrace, overlooking the pool, and in the distance, beach. Our waiter was professional and took excellent care at our table. He was fluent in both Spanish / English. The bar offered many varieties of fine to mid priced drinks. However if you are staying at this property it's an All - inclusive, so your options are wide open and there is no additional charge. Many couples, groups of families and business associates can be seen dining here. They handles the crowds smoothly and with ease. Inside, the room was full and conversation was full of activity. But not in a disturbing manner. Enjoyed my filet mignon, and sweet potato combo. We did not opt for appetizer or dessert as we were planning to attend a dessert bar upstairs at 9:00 pm. Sponsored by Playa Resorts, our hosts on this trip. We were there to attend the Spotlight Awards. Tonight they were hosting an after-party. I would recommend Tradewinds & the Hyatt-Ziva as an ideal family -friendly property, and the fine staff at the Cancun location. Their employees and staff are well trained and truly work tirelessly to give their guests a superior vacation experience.
So I would knock the Restuarant because the ambiance is nice and the staff is friendly but!!!!! The food seems to be mass produced and isn't as fresh at the all inclusive would perceive to be. I ordered the sea bass, jumbo shrimp as I am not a meat eater. The portion sizes are 9oz as the menu said, so picture you are dieting this would be enough to satisfy your appetite. The shrimp defiantly was frozen and clearly was cooked frozen , you know when you bite into it and it crumbles like wet bread and not string cheese .. the sea bass also was season welled one the outside not so much flavor in the inside so it's as if I am eating textured fish flakes.
Skip breakfast and go for dinner when it becomes a steak house. The service is amazing and the ribeye was cooked perfectly. I ordered a side of the chimichurri sauce and it elevated my steak 10x! The meal starts with ordering your main dish and going to the salad bar where a server makes you a salad of your choice. They bring you fresh bread. Your meal comes out and you enjoy it. Save room for dessert! We had the ice cream trio and the white chocolate brownie. All our plates were licked clean. I wish I had gone there another time during our trip but it was the perfect last meal during our vacation.
Beautiful spot for a gorgeous ocean view breakfast! I loved everything we ordered. Always wonderful service, great quality dishes! Highly recommend! Paddle Cactus Tlacoyo was my favorite(small individual size) Frijoladas (delicious vegetarian dish, full portion) Green Chilaquiles + 2 poached eggs (full portion) House juice blends were ALL delicious!! Kids chicken quesadilla (has onions and tomatoes, so picky eaters beware, also very big portion for a small child) Overall such a gorgeous view of the turquoise sea and pool view! Loveeeee this place for a quiet breakfast!
We came here for both the breakfast and steakhouse. We definitely prefer the breakfast here especially the TW chicken waffle and TW omelet. Both were very good that you wouldn't think the food came from an all inclusive restaurant. However, the dinner steakhouse was a let down for me. We order the rib eye steak which was very dry and lacking in flavor. The garlic shrimp was not fresh as it taste "mushy" . We decide to leave early and went to the dinner buffet instead. If I were to rate the breakfast and dinner seperatly: Breakfast -4 star Dinner - 1 star Much better option for dinner from the other restaurant in the resort. Tip: request for the habanero salsa at tradewind it pack a punch if you like spice! It was so good with the omelette.
Tradewinds is party of the all inclusive Hyatt Ziva resort and has offerings at breakfast, lunch and dinner. I stopped by numerous times throughout my stay at the Hyatt for lunch and dinner. The BAD: - The older wait staff weren't as friendly and slow when taking orders. They also were expecting tips, even though this is an all inclusive resort and the brochure says tips are included. The younger wait staff on the other hand were always super friendly and energetic. - At dinner time this place tries to focus on being a steak house. Unfortunately they did a poor job with my rib eye, which was over cooked in many party and half of it had plenty of fad. They did a much better job with the much leaner cut of flank steak and I would recommend getting that. - I didn't really enjoy any of the desserts that I tried here, they tasted just ok. The GOOD: - The empanadas here are the best that I have tried anywhere. The outer shell is flaky and crispy. I really enjoyed the humitas (corn, onion, and cheese) and ground beef ones. - They do an amazing job with the grilled sea food items. The salmon and large grilled shrimp dishes that I tried here were seasoned and cooked perfectly. They tasted amazing and were very tender. Overall I would avoid getting any of the steaks here and stick to the grilled sea food dishes here which were exceptional. The empanadas are a must try! Service is a bit spotty here.
Open at 7am, another decent breakfast place overlooking the beautiful pools and ocean. Dry casual dress code. I enjoyed the views from their outdoor seating area. Downside is that they are a little slow and lacking on the service front. What we ate: Appetizers: - Concha: Again, I love this Mexican pastry! - Fruit plate (Watermelon, melon, kiwi, strawberry, papaya, plain yogurt and granola): Fresh fruit, what's not to love! - Tapioca pudding (Almond milk, osmotized kiwi and honey): I enjoyed the tapioca! - Matcha pancake (Maple syrup, wild berries, caramelized bananas): I was drawn to the matcha, and yet again, disappointed. It was basically just regular pancakes with an ever-so-slight hint of matcha. The batter had the touch of green, but I wish they had put more matcha :( I was going between this and the TW eggs benedict but was pulled in by the matcha...Perhaps the wrong (or just worse) choice of the two.
Three stars for dinner and 5 stars for breakfast. Had the octopus, sea bass, and salmon for dinner. All were overcooked. The ribeye was just ok. The crab cake appetizer and empanadas were good. The breakfast was very good and the service we had at breakfast was much better than dinner. We had the fruit plate, avocado toast, roast beef toast, and omelet. All were very good. The juices were good as well.
Tradewinds gave me unforgettable experiences for both breakfast and dinner mealtimes. Everything from the service, the atmosphere, each course, and especially the beach view was perfect. Feel free to skip to the paragraph labeled "DINNER" for the dining experience :) BREAKFAST My first experience here was for breakfast. We were quickly served our drinks (the green juice in particular was so refreshing) and offered a variety of gorgeous breads. My party and I all ordered a fruit plate, which I was not expecting to be so stunning. It really is true that we eat with our eyes first because those fruits were so beautifully presented that I was scared to dig in. The mango and papaya were perfectly ripe, juicy, and sweet. As for our main items, they were just as phenomenal. My egg omelet was fresh, tasty, and the avocado toast and smoked salmon bagel were delicious. I could taste the high quality of each ingredient and how each item was freshly made. I knew after this meal that I had to come back for more. DINNER We decided to eat at Tradewinds for our last dinner at Hyatt Ziva Cancún, and this was truly the best choice. The night atmosphere significantly differed from the morning feel of the restaurant. We were seated to a calm, candle-lit table. Our two servers were very kind and ensured that there was no cross-contamination with my seafood allergy. Now the food. Where do I begin? We were served fluffy dinner rolls as table bread with spreadable roasted garlic and three flavored butters: rosemary, truffle, and pepper. This alone was phenomenal. I wasn't done obsessing over the rolls when they served the soups. We had ordered the bone broth soup and lobster cream soup. These were incredible with the bread rolls. Next came our appetizers which were a mixed salad, crab fritters, and a beef empanada. Not sure if this is just my love for goat cheese and honey mustard speaking, but that salad was absurdly delicious. To that end, the beef empanada was (I kid you not) the best beef empanada I ever had. It was steaming from my first bite and was so flavorful and juicy I had to literally close my eyes and savor the moment. I ended up ordering a second beef empanada appetizer. Lastly, our main courses arrived. I had the skirt steak with a side of roasted vegetables. The steak was juicy, tasty and served with a roasted Mexican spring onion. Everything was perfect, and we did not need to worry about dressing fancy to have a comfortable fine dining experience. Overall, Tradewinds has set my standards high for all fine dining restaurants. It is a high quality restaurant, perfect for breakfast and dinner. When staying at Hyatt Ziva Cancún, do yourself a favor and have both mealtimes here. Thank me later.

Another Hyatt Ziva Resort Restaurant. We went here a couple times, twice of breakfast and once for dinner. Breakfast: Options are limited for breakfast at the resort the only options are Tradewinds or El Mercado (the buffet). - Avocado Toast - has this mango sauce/dressing on it. wasn't a fan of that. would've been better without the sauce. - Tradewinds Chilaquiles - this one was ok. - French Toast - Shakshuka Eggs - soupy. it says it's suppose to have eggplant, onions, and peppers. I don't remember that being in there. It was mainly eggs and tomatoes - Omelette Dinner: Better than breakfast - Bread - Yummy. Fluffy and soft. - Lobster Cream Soup - bland. I didn't like it. - Sea Bass - This was my favorite sea bass at the resort. Tasted yummy with the peas and white seafood sauce. This dish is probably carrying the rating on this restaurant for me - Got one of the steaks, it was thinner cut which we felt like may have made it easier for them to over cook. read more
THIS. Now THIS is the place to be! I'd come back here like a regular paying customer if it were back at my home city. The interior is very nice. Clean, modern, darker, but with beautiful ocean views. They have outside seating as well. They got a salad bar for you to load up on cheese, bread, fruits, etc while you wait for your dishes to arrive. Service is fast and professional like any restaurant on this property. The highlights has to be their steaks/meat. We literally enjoyed every dish we ordered as a party. You couldn't miss but the flank steak was probably the table's favorite. The short ribs also fell right off the bone. We came back here several times and were glad we did. Note: there are rules when it comes to your attire depending on lunch or dinner. So be sure to read up on it otherwise you'll be turned away to go change! read more

We were invited to join friends for dinner and had a really good experience overall. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were generous. I especially enjoyed the seafood--it was seasoned well and came out hot and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it a nice spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming vibe. The service was also great. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, I'd definitely come back again. Solid food, good service, and a pleasant dining experience. read more

The foods at this restaurant is great. The rib eye is excellent, the grill salmon is also very tasty. The skirt steak is just ok. The appetizer of bone marrow and octopus is the best. It is definitely one of the good resto at the resort read more
Whether you are looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner options , can not go wrong with Tradewings. This restaurant has consistently kept us happy during our stay at Hyatt Ziva Cancun. It is much more relaxed atmosphere compared to other restaurants and food quality is great. Normally it is a sit down restaurant with salad buffet read more
Out of all the many places to eat on property at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun, Tradewinds was absolutely the worst one we dined at. Upon arriving here on our last night (Sunday) in Cancun we walked into Tradewinds excited and ready to eat! Choosing a place to have your last meal in Cancun was a big deal for us and Tradewinds didn't do so well with making our trip an even further memorable one. The hostess whomever was working the night we arrived had a pretty bad attitude and I guess because we requested to be seated outside it was an issue. There were already 3 other tables seated so we couldn't figure out what the problem was with also too wanting to dine out on the patio. She said " Outside"?! umm yeah? Anyways she was the worst and when we had questions on some vouchers that were given to us upon check in which nobody could answer which was already strike two. Our waiter is the only reason this review wasn't given a 1 star! He truly did his best and just happened to be in the middle of the chaos of terrible customer service that was being delivered this night. After ordering our food not only did it take quite a bit but when we received it, it was so half ass done that I literally felt like they dug our meals out the trash and pieced it together on the plate. (Check the photos I will attach) ... my surf and turf came out looking just awful and my friends plates weren't even worthy of pictures! It was clear that the chef was done for the night and didn't care. The waiter himself even recognized how terrible the food looked and went back to have the chef remake the food. When the food came back out it looked 10x better which was so confusing because like why didn't this happen the first time. It was so frustrating for other people in the group because they were practically done with their meals while I'm waiting for mines to be remade. The thing is here you can't take food back to your room which sucks because in a normal circumstance I could've just had them remake it, box it and headed back to the room... Needless to say I was beyond livid with my first experience dining at Tradewinds... read more

I wasn't impressed with the dinner, but we got to try the breakfast buffet on our checkout day, and really enjoyed it! I probably wouldn't go back for dinner again, but definitely for that succulent breakfast! They have everything, from the most basic breakfast foods (eggs, ham, yogurt) to exotic Mexican Caribbean options such as chilaquiles, fried plantains and some spaghetti-type of food in cream that's called "rajas con crema." Wish we had gone a couple more times for breakfast, but it IS a lot of food, best saved for a busy day of airports. read more
