Private chef at your hotel suite · Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana
A private chef and full-service team at your suite or villa — market-fresh menus, set-up and clean-up included. Tailored for Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana guests staying in Cap Cana (family luxury) — pickup organised at your lobby, paid in cash or card on arrival. Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana sits on the Juanillo coast — a family luxury resort about 15 min from PUJ and 8 min from Cap Cana Marina, the marina we use for most boat departures. The flagship family resort inside the gated Cap Cana community, set on Juanillo Beach a short ride from Punta Espada Golf and the marina.
Plan it on WhatsAppWhat we cook
Caribbean tasting menus (lobster, mahi, lambí), classic steakhouse with imported cuts, Italian fresh pasta night, Asian-Caribbean fusion, or a kids' menu the parents secretly love. We shop the morning of your dinner.
Set-up & service
Chef arrives 3 hours ahead, brings produce, cooks in your suite's kitchenette or sets up on the terrace. Server and bartender included for groups of 6+. We clear and clean after dessert — you don't lift a finger.
Booking from Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana
When Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana guests book a in-suite chef dinner with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 8-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina and the 15-minute window to PUJ. Because Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana is a family luxury resort, we pre-brief the guide on the lobby layout, the resort's wristband policy, and where to wait so security never asks twice. That's the difference between a smooth pickup and 20 lost minutes at the gate.
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp. We confirm pickup time at the hotel lobby, the meeting guide's name, and the cash/card price — usually within minutes, 7am–11pm. Pickup is from the Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana main lobby. We send a confirmation message with the driver's name and plate the evening before. Expect roughly 15 min between PUJ airport and the hotel. We're a Dominican team based in Bávaro. No call centre, no resort kick-back. Your concierge resells the same trips at +30–50% — we put you in touch with the small operators directly.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you pick up at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana?+
Yes — drivers wait at the Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana main lobby. PUJ airport is about 15 min away, which helps us time pickups precisely.
Which marina do boats leave from for Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana guests?+
Cap Cana Marina — about 8 min from the Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana lobby. We always pick the marina that saves drive time over chasing a slightly cheaper boat further away.
Do we need a kitchen in our suite?+
A small kitchenette is enough; the chef brings tools and produce. We can also cook on the terrace with a portable set-up.
How many guests can the chef cook for?+
Comfortable up to 12 in a suite, up to 30 in a villa. Larger groups get a sous-chef and dedicated servers.
Why not just book at the hotel excursion desk?+
Resort desks resell the same trips with a 30–50% markup and usually push larger group operators. We connect you directly to the small Dominican operators we use for our own family.
Can I pay in cash on the day?+
Yes — USD or DOP, in cash, on pickup. Card and bank transfer also work. No deposit needed for most options.
What languages do guides speak?+
Group tours are bilingual EN/ES. German, French, Italian, Russian and Portuguese guides available on request for private trips.
Can it be private, just for our group?+
Yes — almost everything on this page has a private upgrade (own boat, own buggy, own driver). Ask us on WhatsApp.
