Any Shabbos issues with the hotel?
Does chabad offer meals?
There was no issues On shabbos as eash room has its own like entrance. The resort is like every few rooms is a separate villa.

The staff where gladly to open the my room how many times I needed. Just the fridge needed some workaround for the light.

I'll put links of the restaurant and shabbos menu.

Temperature checks and they make fill out a questionnaire similar like you fill out landing in NY.

The hotel had one time temperature checks upon checkin. Breakfast buffet is closed and all workers wear masks. In cabo itself is really quite at night.

Anyone stay in the hyatt ziva? Or any other hyatt hotels, like the cape thompson hotel?
Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.
