Few destination wedding resorts publish package prices. Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta does: $649 for the two of you, up to $13,553 for 38 guests, plus per-additional-guest rates. Your cost is arithmetic, not a range.
Below: every published package, all seven ceremony and reception venues with capacities, and each package priced at 10, 20, 30, 50, 75 and 100 guests.

What it costs at your guest count
Three packages include guests, extended at the resort’s published per-additional-guest rates. Every figure is calculated, not estimated.
| Guests | Intimate Elegance ($1,649 base / 10, +$45) | Lavish & Opulent ($6,089 base / 20, +$105) | Luxury ($13,553 base / 38, +$105) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $1,649 ($165/guest) | - | - |
| 20 | $2,099 ($105/guest) | $6,089 ($304/guest) | - |
| 30 | $2,549 ($85/guest) | $7,139 ($238/guest) | - |
| 38 | $2,909 ($77/guest) | $7,979 ($210/guest) | $13,553 ($357/guest) |
| 50 | $3,449 ($69/guest) | $9,239 ($185/guest) | $14,813 ($296/guest) |
| 75 | $4,574 ($61/guest) | $11,864 ($158/guest) | $17,438 ($233/guest) |
| 100 | $5,699 ($57/guest) | $14,489 ($145/guest) | $20,063 ($201/guest) |
All figures in USD, before tax and service charge. The caveats below matter a great deal.
Your per-guest cost falls as the list grows
Intimate Elegance costs $165 per guest at 10 and $57 at 100. Lavish & Opulent falls from $304 at 20 to $145 at 100. The venue, coordinator, sound system, ceremony décor and cake cost the same whether 12 people watch or 90 do. Only the per-head cost scales.
The catch: upgrading costs more as the list grows
Each extra guest costs $45 on Intimate Elegance and $105 on Lavish & Opulent or Luxury. That difference compounds:
- At 20 guests, Lavish & Opulent costs $3,990 more than Intimate Elegance.
- At 100 guests, the same upgrade costs $8,790 more.
The gap is not a fixed premium: it more than doubles from 20 guests to 100. Choose a tier with your real guest count in front of you.
Every published package and what it includes
Big Day Preview, with a $500 credit
A site visit, not a wedding package: two all-inclusive nights for two, the best room available at check-in, an exclusive resort tour with the on-site wedding planner, an optional menu tasting and a $500 credit toward your wedding when you book. If you would visit anyway, this makes the trip close to free.
Just for the Two of You: $649
For elopements and ceremonies with no guests: a symbolic ceremony, bouquet and boutonniere, wedding cake, a sparkling wine toast, romantic turndown service, late checkout, a complimentary room upgrade, 10% off spa services and an on-site wedding coordinator.
Intimate Elegance: $1,649 for 10 guests, $45 per additional guest
The value pick for a larger wedding on a tighter budget. Everything in Just for the Two of You, plus a private dinner reception, an open bar during the event, a ceremony sound system, hair and makeup for the bride, a couples massage and 15% off spa services. A private reception at a $45 marginal rate is unusual.
Lavish & Opulent: $6,089 for 20 guests, $105 per additional guest
On top of everything in Intimate Elegance: a private cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres, a three-course plated dinner, live music during the ceremony, a professional photographer for two hours, floral centerpieces for the reception tables and a complimentary wedding-night suite.
Luxury: $13,553 for 38 guests, $105 per additional guest
Everything in Lavish & Opulent, plus gourmet buffet or plated dinner options, a premium open bar, a reception DJ, a custom wedding cake design, a hair and makeup trial for the bride and private check-in for the two of you. The base covers 38 guests, so it only suits a sizeable list.
South Asian Wedding
Multi-event celebrations run through the resort’s dedicated South Asian wedding program, with specialists certified by the South Asian Wedding Institute. No price is published: for a multi-day wedding, ask us for a quote built on your event structure rather than using the tiers above.
All seven venues and their capacities
| Venue | Ceremony | Cocktail | Reception |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rios Ballroom | 600 | 600 | 400 |
| Pureza Beach | 200 | 150 | 120 |
| Blaze Beach | 200 | 200 | 100 |
| Sky Penthouse Terrace | 100 | 90 | 70 |
| Palmas Terrace | 70 | 100 | 80 |
| Gazebo | 40 | - | - |
| Sport’s Bar Terrace | 20 | 50 | 50 |
Ceremony capacity and reception capacity are not the same number, and reception is usually smaller. Pureza Beach seats 200 for a ceremony but 120 for dinner. Blaze Beach holds 200 for a ceremony and 100 for dinner. At 150 guests, only the Rios Ballroom seats everyone for dinner, so the reception is indoors. Choose the venue on the reception number, then work backwards.
Matching your guest count to a venue
- Up to 20: Sport’s Bar Terrace, the Gazebo, or a beach setup
- Up to 40: Gazebo ceremony, then Palmas Terrace or Sky Penthouse Terrace for dinner
- Up to 70: Sky Penthouse Terrace, ceremony and reception in one place
- Up to 100: Blaze Beach or Pureza Beach ceremony, then Blaze Beach or Palmas Terrace for dinner
- Up to 120: Pureza Beach, the largest outdoor reception on the property
- Over 120: Rios Ballroom, the only option that seats everyone for dinner
Three costs outside the package
1. Tax and service charge
Published wedding prices in Mexico are quoted before tax and service charge, commonly around 16% tax plus a 15% service charge. That puts the real total roughly a third above the headline: the $9,239 Lavish & Opulent price for 50 guests is nearer $12,000 all in. Ask whether each quote is inclusive, and get the answer in writing.
2. Weekend dates cost more
Our listing shows the resort’s midweek rates. Third-party wedding-package aggregators list weekend prices, Thursday midday through Sunday, of roughly $6,669 for Lavish & Opulent and $14,222 for Luxury, against $6,089 and $13,553 midweek. We have not confirmed these with the resort, so they signal a premium, not a quote. A Tuesday or Wednesday date cuts real cost without cutting anything guests notice.
3. Rooms, flights and transfers
The package covers the wedding, not the trip: guests pay for their own rooms and flights. At 50 guests that is roughly 20 to 25 rooms, enough to negotiate a group rate and earned complimentary nights. Do that alongside the wedding package, not after it.
