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: 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.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great resort!

The hotel was fantastic! The people and staff were very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed it! The food was good and the a la carte's very unique. There is a great beach with lots of activities and plenty to see.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Clean resort

Very clean lobby, grounds and rooms. Delicious food at the restaurants! Pleasant helpful staff. Enjoyed the activities. Lots of chairs around the pool and on the beach but limited shade. There was a very unpleasant smell (like sewage) en route to access the beach.

Viva Dominicus Palace by Wyndham: Beat the Winter Blahs - Enjoy a little summer in your winter! Destination: Viva Wyndham Dominicus Palace -La Romana.

The resort is situated in Bayahibe, La Romana just 30 minutes buss drive from La Romana International Airport. After several years, I returned to this wonderful resort and I was impressed of the entirely redesigned lobby. To my surprise, at the lobby bar I was delighted to meet an old friend Raul the barman. No one can forget his friendly smile and his moto “Especial”! In this all-inclusive resort, the atmosphere provides a level of privacy that appeals especially to adult couples. Howeve [... read more]r, families with children are also welcome and are well taken care off! We had a “Garden View, Superior Room” very clean, good size bed. The rooms are maintained daily by the cleaning crew.. Complimentary Wi-Fi connection is available all around the resort. The food selection for breakfast lunch and supper is good, with restaurant reservation available as well. We eat mostly at Rest. La Yuca (buffet) which had a good assortment to our liking. My “sweet tooth” was delighted with the selection of sweets available, especially the home-made ice cream. The grounds are well maintained, and all is green - immaculate! The staff at this resort are having a pleasant professional attitude, making sure that you are having a great time. The most important time of our vacation was the accessibility to the immaculate white-sand beach, the ocean views looking out over the brilliant waters of the Caribbean Sea, and then enjoying a swim. Life can not be better! Each evening at the lobby bar, has live music, and of couple of time we danced to it. There are also daily shows given by the artistic crew. We preferred evening walks from “Dominicus Place” to the shopping center a nice 15 minutes walk. You don’t get bored at this resort! There are lots of activities available, including water sports, fitness programs etc. We have enjoyed the morning exercises at the pool site conducted by a dynamic team. The selected music that accompanied the exercises was great. In addition, we appreciated all the selection of Dominican music that played daily at the pool site! The staff at the beach bar are all great. In addition to drinks, snacks and light lunch is also available. All in all, we had a great time. Thank you “Viva Wydham Dominicus Place” for an unforgettable 12 days of vacation. This is "Au Revoir, not Goodbye”. In addition many thanks to Fathia Ibrahim from tripcentral.ca that help me book this vacation!

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Excellent Tesort

I loved that this place was intimate and welcoming. The people were always helpful and happy to be there! The entertainment crew were never disappointing. Always visiting and chatting it up. A very special thumbs up for the blonde girl from Germany. I hate that I forgot her name. Sorry She was great. Food Awesome. The Cigar bar we loved!! Thank you Gabrielle and Stephanie you Rock !!!! You make the best drinks ever!! Until the next time. Thank you all.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Smoothly Operated and Well Maintained

Loved staying at the Viva Tangerine in November. All of the staff spoke excellent English and responded to any incidents immediately. The resort prides itself on maintenance and was tidying up the results of slight cosmetic damage from hurricane season. All walls and pathways, grounds, etc were immaculate. This resort is flat, very level. The only time you go down stairs is to the beach, or if you are on the second or third floor. Amenities were all central, the pool was grand, clean, well maint [... read more]ained. The bar area was clean and upscale, the bar staff were clean, courteous/professional. The International buffet and snack area was very clean, it was spacious and top chef standard. The store and staff was great, the lobby staff were very helpful, all speak English and there is a $ exchange in the lobby as well. Exceeded expectations! 5 STARS!

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Great Staff!

The grounds were beautiful and the staff were very nice! The activities personnel, especially Jordan, Dens, Chocolate and Joanne were a lot of fun and kept us entertained all week! Great job!!! One big negative: the resort didn’t have enough designated non-smoking areas. The few they did have were right beside smoking areas, so there was no way for us non smokers to escape the smoke! That was a big negative for us and we would not return for that reason alone.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Beautiful friendly resort!

Grounds are immaculate, rooms are spotless. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Nice small resort. Loved that you don't have to make reservations for the restaurants. The room safe is included and they even include room service but I didn't try it. Fabulous resort!

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great Vacation!

I wasn’t sure what to expect before our vacation as Google was telling us our resort was only a 3 star, but we were told it was a 4.5 star resort, and some of the reviews weren’t the greatest. However, from the moment we landed at the airport in DR, until we left and landed in Toronto, everything was great. My boyfriend and I got engaged while we were away, and have nothing but positive things to share about our vacation. We had booked a king size bed, but were brought to our room with two d [... read more]ouble beds. I went to the front desk right away, and they changed it immediately for us. There was only one pool, but it was never crowded. We only stayed up to watch one evening show - the magic show on the Thursday - recommended, but we heard the evening entertainment was great. ALL of the hotel staff were friendly, and chatty. They were helping my boyfriend learn Spanish during breakfast - “cafe con leche”. Overall, it was an amazing trip. We will definitely be back!

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Wonderful vacation

The resort is beautiful, clean and delicious. Well kept grounds, clean rooms, scrumptious restaurants. Never waited for food or drinks. Amazing staff. Now the bad. When we arrived at airport we had to fill out another declaration from. Mass confusion. It is 9pm we are hot and tired. The print on the forms are so small. Why couldn't we do it on plane ? We waited over an hour for everyone to complete these forms so we could shuttle to our hotel. And there were no drinks. Not a welcome cock [... read more]tail, not beer for sale at airport or on bus, first time for us, no beer ! Not even water to drink! When we arrived at hotel there was 1 sandwich in room. Only sandwiches available from room service. By now it is 11pm. We are at only bar open, no snack bar !the Disvo has ear splitting music and of course no one in it. We grabbed drinks and sat in lobby. Next problem. SMOKING. It is not enforced. Smoking with non smoking sections. Saw people sit at non smoking tables and smoke. Some took signs off table. Staff would do nothing about it. My last complaint is the bar , disco closes whenever.....we were seated in front of glass door to Disco, playing cards, drinking, and tipping. Twice she closed bar an hour early. Didn't ask if we would like another drink, of course ! And didn't tell us she was closing. We would have been quite happy with another drink or 2. It was only midnight and all inclusive. The Activities were great. Sometimes you had to remind them but they were willing g to play all the games and we had a great time !

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Great, small family friendly resort!

Exactly what we expected. Great family resort with wonderful staff. Rooms and resort in general was very clean. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend here as a great low key holiday!

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Nice resort

Staff are very friendly and helpful. This resort is spotless , always being kept clean. Beautiful view from almost anywhere on the resort. We would return for sure ! Very close to town , nice walk on the beach into Cabaret . Short drive to Sosua or just stay and relax on the beach. Always a chair available .
