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.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great place to stay!

We loved this resort. It wasn’t too big, so a short stroll to restaurants and beach. Lots of chairs by the beach, but not enough around the pool. Food was excellent. Our room was very nice, with large sitting room and balcony. Very good service.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Decent but problematic

The food was decent and accommodations adequate. The beach is quite amazing! This is a family resort but things are pretty close, so wherever you were near the pool, there were smokers. A bit off putting. The "animación" team was engaging but they also don't seem to be treated very well by hotel management. Hiding to eat food, begging for 5 star reviews, clearly unhappy - they deserve better.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Couldn't ask for anything more!! Absolute paradise!!

This is our second time coming to this resort and must admit that we were surprised it hadn't changed.... what fantastic news for us!! This is a slice out of an idyllic daydream that we all think about on cold winter nights. I have to admit to not wanting to give it a positive review because I don't want many others to know about this gem!! The whole resort from the landscaping, the architecture and especially the staff made us feel so welcomed genuinely happy to greet us.

Viva Azteca by Wyndham: Great little resort

Nice smaller size resort. If you are looking for quieter than average resort with decent food, great service, very clean, and the rooms were great. We had a room close the snack bar that was open late but did not hear any noise after hours.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Good Option

Good friendly service by all. Decent food for the level of resort. Clean grounds. Best asset of this resort is the beach. Gorgeous beach that goes on forever. Drinks are mediocre quality. Every Evening they had live music, which was nice to unwind to.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Wonderful resort!

Very clean resort. Friendly staff. Spacious room accommodations. Never a problem finding a chair by the pool or on the beach (which was only a 5 minute walk away). Great restaurants! Italian, Dominican, and Mexican food.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Pureuto plata

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Just Back 02/11/20

If you are looking for a resort that is quiet yet lively, a place where you can relax or play volleyball in the pool Viva Wyndham V Heavens is the resort for you. Relax by the beach with the beach bar and restaurant not far or by the pool. They have four specialty restaurants no reservations required and then after dinner if you are a cigar smoker or like the occasional cigar there is a cigar lounge with cigars ranging from four or five dollars to twelve and up you can also purchase a premium  [... read more]drink. The resort was clean the service was great the food was good. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Good Value

Rooms were large and clean, very well kept. The grounds were well maintained. A la Cartes were very good and buffet was adequate. We were somewhat surprised that tipping was expected. Distance to beach would be difficult for some but I did not find this to be the case.
