Viva Maya by Wyndham: Please don’t waste your vacation at this resort.

This resort is absolutely a nightmare! They have no room service, the food is so bad. The minute you walk into the buffet it smells. They don’t have much of a selection and the staff doesn’t seem to care to help with anything. I have been to Mexico many times and this was by far the worst resort I have ever stayed at.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Great vacation spot!

It was our first Adult only resort in DR and we weren't disappointed. Perfect location beautiful grounds always maintained and clean. It was great that we didn't need to hunt for beach towels you can just grab them near the pool and drop them to the same place. And there are always plenty of them . We stayed in bungalow highly recommended if you want privacy and quite place. The customer service is great whenever we had small issues they were addressed fast and always with the smile . The food [... read more] we good always versatile. Would be great to have more musicians coming playing in the resort not only Spanish singers .

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Awesome Trip

Spent 7 relaxing days at this beautiful resort. The staff were amazing, food was great, rooms were clean! Beautiful beach walks every morning. Definitely recommended. Hoping to return before it turns into a family resort :)

Viva Maya by Wyndham: True 3 Star

This is a good hotel for 1st time vacations. If you have need tob4 and 5 stars, you will see how they fit as a 3 star. Main buffet needs a better selection of daily meals. There are theme nights but a few different selections. My room and cleamers were awesome. Bar staff 3.5 out if 5. Best drink is called "Rivere Maya." Staff all over were 4 out of 5. Beach was good. Best beach is to the right near the Sandos through the rocks called EmmaCove. Priceless. The Viva buy in pro [... read more]grM that you are hunted down for to try and sell the fancy part, is over priced They want $3500 down and $17000 for the 10 year plan. I did the calculations and with 3 trips a year and buying the flights. You average $3800 to $4600 per. Ouch....

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Nice resort

The hotel is older but very clean. Rooms are nice, grounds are beautiful and well kept. It’s a small resort with ramps so if you have mobility issues it’s a very good resort for getting around. Beach and ocean is terrific, very warm waters and extremely clean and very well managed. The down fall to this resort IMO is the buffet food. Lots of choices for Mexican food ( hence you are in Mexico) The salads and deserts are wonderful lot of choices The protein is hamburger meat meat b [... read more]alls, chicken drumsticks and thighs. Two soups every night. The do have pork and fish. But no roasts beefs, or premium meats. etc. Seems the chefs food budget is not very large for the buffet. Bacon is hidden under the flat top so you have to ask for it at the egg station if available. They have a terrific snack bar, by the main pool. Salads pastas, terrific pizzas, cheese burgers, chilli Mexican food. Again super clean. They leave you two water bottles, but have refilling stations all over the place and in the entrance to your rooms. We brought down a hydrometer to test the alcohol content of the beer on tap. It’s only 2.5%. The sports bar has better beer and its 4.5% on tap with Heineken The staff is very friendly. Coffee and pastry bars. All sorts of activities they even have a trapeze for those that dare to have fun. Over all it’s a above a basic resort.‘I would return as it’s very cost effective, and beautiful . I have it an overall 4 but the resort should be a 3.5 star. Mostly because of the lack of different proteins, most resorts have food theme nights with a chef carving stations. His one doesn’t but it’s cost effective for a great vacation.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Viva Wyndham Maya, Playacar

This hotel exceeded our expectations. Beach was beautiful, main pool was decent but the Adults Only Pool was a treat. Food was very good as were drinks. Rooms were clean and fresh for us daily. Highly recommend for a small resort for sun and relax. Thanks Susan for booking for us. Ground floor would be my choice as bigger balcony. Ours was small!!!

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Amazing Resort

I love everything about our vacation in Viva Wyndham Maya. The food, the resort, the beach. It’s awesome and would love to come back. I was skeptical at first reading bad reviews I’m glad I found this resort thru Trip Central.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Beautiful Resort... had a number of issues though....

The resort is gorgeous, the setting perfect....right on the beach, lovely pool, restaurants and great for kids. These are the issues I had.... 1. we could only find 1 English channel on TV....Fox news...that's it.... we called reception multiple times and they kept telling us which channels were in English...but they were not....then we were not able to get Netflix.... they ended up giving us a new TV.... but it was never programmed to use netflix...I was with my 80 year old mother and sh [... read more]e really wanted to watch TV, so it was a problem. 2. The food really was not great, did not seem 4 star to me and I'm not a fussy eater. The Italian restaurant in my opinion had the best food. The day I arrived I asked to be booked at each restaurant, turns out I was only booked at 3 out of the 6....then it was too late to get in. 3. They really need an English speaking person at reception at all times....it made communication very difficult. 4. Our toilet was blocked for 3 days and the room smelled really bad. I asked many times.... 5. I was told that there was a doc on site, but I had to pay $120 for them to call a doctor for my mother, had the person at reception understood, they could have explained. 6. There is a list of activities, I downloaded the app...but it does not tell you where to go to par take in the activities. 7. The floors must be cleaned with bleach, I threw my dirty clothes on the floor in the corner of the room and one of my dresses is completely ruined as it is marked with bleach stains The good things... 1. Great entertainment 2. Beautiful location 3. Very close to shops 4. Close walk to 4th Avenue

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Ok resort but not 4 1/2 stars imo

The resort is a mixed bag: Food is good, but lacks variety I expected for the rating Very Clean Booze was disappointing both in terms of quality and selection. Entertainment was not as good as I expected. There was no “viva” vibe People nice and courteous.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Good for budget but little things could have made it nicer.

Recently returned (April 14 2022) from Viva Wyndham Heavens and feel we got a little less than what we expected but still enjoyed the sunshine and pleasant people of the Dominican. The resort deserves high marks for cleanliness and the attentiveness of their staff to the limits they are permitted.I say this as with every trip to the Dominican Republic I've always found the people to be very welcoming and willing to help. It seems at this Resort the training provided is lacking the attention to d [... read more]etail seasoned travelers have come to expect over the last number of years. Little things like service around the pool or on the beach, timing of meal courses during Ala carte dinners, bread plates when serving rolls, offerings of the entire accents to a meal rather than delivering upon request when convenient. Visited Blend, Rosmarino and Pueblo 222 as well as V Kitchen (buffet). Blend has a good offering of Seafood and Steaks however your quality/ cut of Steak will be a hit or miss situation, I had one night over marinated cheap cut and on second occasion although very small it was good.Someone needs to look at the table/booth heights as I'm 6' 2" and the table was above my sternum, not comfortable. Rosmarino, or Italian was just okay, far too sweet a sauce is used everywhere, and should consider Fresh Parmesan offering. Pueblo 222 was my favorite however why not offer the wonderful guacomole, Salsa and cream with the Fajitas/ Tacos rather than people having to ask for it. As far as the Buffet I don't believe I had anything hot from the steam tables all week, and never once saw what we would call bacon at breakfast. Although creative you could see the efforts made to use every bit of what was previoulsy served. Inexpensive booze but reasonable beer and no Canadian whiskey at all. I saw an occasional bottle of Absolut Vodka bu that was for VIP clients, so if VIP gets Absolut the rest of us are wondering how VIP the VIP could be? By the way, do not under any circumstances order the Club sandwich from room service, we lost 2 days with illness as a result.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Well worth the price!

The beach and food were great. You can pick apart the rest but at the end of the day we’ll worth it! There booze selection is very limited and the rooms are a little run down but over all this place is okay.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Amazing Resort

The hotel is beautiful and relaxing. The staff from the front desk to the beach and everyone in between go above and beyond to make your stay the best it can be. The restaurants and food presentations are top notch. Everything is clean. All staff wore masks, hand sanitizer and temperature monitoring at all restaurants. Looking forward to returning when they reopen after renovation.

Viva Azteca by Wyndham: Above expectation

We liked it though the resort is a little bit too far from Cancun Airport. Walking distance to Playa Del Carmen. I would definitely go again. The drinks at the bar are limited to local brands, some of them poor quality. To enjoy a good drink you have to be a "Viva member"

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Absolutely recommend this gem of a resort!

The resort was the perfect size which made walking around and finding your bearings super easy. It was very clean, the pool was incredible, the beach (and the walk to it) was STUNNING. The a la carte restaurants were delicious, and there were a large variety of refreshing cocktails. Quiet enough for people that want to relax, but there are also a bunch of fun activities going on all the time for people that want to have fun. Really amazing experience!

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Great place

Staff all try their best to accommodate everyone. Staff speak pretty good english. Food is fine, remember why you are down in caberate the ocean and the weather. Beach is great, take time to explore cabarete, it is safe and friendly

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Relax away

The resort was smaller than I expected however the staff and service was incredible. Food was good and the resort Is very clean. They had entertainment every night. I would definitely recommend for some to come here

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Down to earth hotel

Beautiful landscape and palm trees for beach. Nice front yard with flowers and palm trees. Buffet is good. Cleaniness of hotel and bathroom. Many activities at the beach and hotel. There is bar near the pool and beach.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Amazing resort!

Just stayed here for seven days, everything was perfect! Friendly staff nice rooms everything was clean food was amazing lots of options to choose from being a vegetarian, definitely would go back! Couldn’t ask for anything better

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great Adults only Resort

As part of a group of 12, we spent 2 weeks at this resort. Very clean throughout, and a big plus is that they had enough beach chairs for all guests. We never had a time where we couldn't locate a chair, so NO getting up at 7am to claim chairs on beach! The rooms were spacious. Entertainment varied throughout the week. The Monday night singer was amazing, very impressive. Overall I would definitely return to the resort. Bartenders friendly, security throughout compound on task and helpful. Grea [... read more]t variety of food at buffet and other restaurants. It would be helpful to have reservations for the small Mexican restaurant as it was popular and usually a wait to be seated. Italian restaurant, Blend tied for our favourites. Suggestions to improve: Turn down music at pool, very loud. At cocktail hour there was music from the cigar/drink hut, plus the music near pool bar both playing at same time.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great Resort

V Heavens is a clean well kept resort. Rooms are spacious, clean, fridge kept stocked, good WIfi coverage. Restaurants including the buffet was very good. Beach was a short walk away with a nice restaurant for lunch and drinks. No shortage of lounges at the beach. Staff was excellent.
