Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Lovely small resort

This was our first trip to V Heavens and we were very pleased with our experience. I won’t repeat what everyone else has had to say, simply put the resort is exceptionally clean, the suites are lovely and spacious, the food is very good, the staff are great, and the beach is phenomenal. No shortage of lounge beds on the beach. The walk from the resort to the beach is a leisurely five minute stroll through a lovely jungle-like area where we saw a variety of birds and water critters. The only [... read more] thing we really missed was a place to have drinks before or after dinner, rather than sitting by the pool in plastic chairs. It just didn’t seem to fit when we were dressed for dinner. We wonder if the area above the pool bar, which is seldom used, could somehow be converted to a relaxing bar area. Several guests have made this same observation, so hopefully the resort management will try to address it. On check-in we were given two queen beds instead of a king. A trip to the front desk quickly remedied this issue. We will return.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Average resort

Fairly nice resort for the price Animation staff was amazing Restaurants were very good. Not like other resorts where bar staff would serve you drinks - pretty much had to go to bar to get drinks yourself. Requested a room that wasn't on ground floor but they could not accommodate us and bathroom ended up flooding on our last full day there and we had to move to another room. All in all good value for the price

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Good resort

The resort is nice and kept very clean. A great beach to take long walks. The food is fairly good at the buffet but i cannot say that about the seafood a la carte. The rooms were basic but efficient but the drawers and shelves all had a strong musty smell. The last three days of vacation our room had a strong smell of sewer which was very unpleasent! Staff were all pleasant and helpful.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Simply stunning

This resort was hands down my favourite resort we have been to yet. The staff were pleasant and always helpful, the scenery was impeccable, the pools and beach were well maintained and beautiful. The food was amazing especially the fresh fire roasted pizza. We will be returning. I have not one negative thing to say about this resort. We came home over fed, relaxed and ready to take on reality.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Fabulous resort

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Fun and extremely clean resort

Great food, great service and outstanding cleanliness. For example, beach towel were available in room upon arrival and fridge fully stocked, been cold drinks, water, etc. Entertainment staff was hilarious! Will recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to go to. Puerto Plata.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Absolutely fantastic!

Great hotel excellent service, friendly staff. Entertainment is OK but we were there for the sun, sand and surf. Quiet but fun. Long Beach where you can walk forever in each direction. Fantastic food!

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Beautiful Resort

This was my very first trip down south and it was a wonderful experience. The resort was small but made it convenient with everything so close together. Food was delicious and there was always a lot available.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Great resort!

Small enough resort that there was no waiting in lines. Large enough to have good options for food. Staff was fantastic, especially Luz, Jennifer, Louis and Yucuiry. Had a great time. Beach was great! Kayaks, boogie boards in great shape. Food was good. Lots of options for mixed drinks. Endless supply of Presidente beer. Quiet by the pool, activities a plenty, but not pushed on you. All in all great place for the DR. Excursions available, but nothing is pushed.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great resort

Great resort! Small and everything with in walking distance! Adult only is great and not a frat party resort! Great for those wanting to relax! Animation team and bar tenders so friendly! Free wifi was great as well!

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Nice resort.

Grounds very nice an clean, well maintained. Nice, relaxing public areas (especially the one by the main lobby). Clean rooms, but facial tissues Not provided! We would expect from this kind of resort complimentary fridge refill and free safety box. There was only one complimentary bottle of water per person upon arrival and empty fridge. Additional water available at high price in the lobby store. Standard buffet with No organic choices. Butter replaced with margarine. Dress code fo [... read more]r ala carte restaurants required on website but not enforced at all, same with kids age limitation posted on the sign at the main pool. On the positive side there were sufficient amount of lounge chairs around the pool as well as on the beach. So you could find the lounge chair even around 10 -11am. Staff helpful and friendly.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Very Small Intimate Resort

GROUNDS: Very clean and well manicured. Public areas and bathrooms were the best kept of any of the 25 plus all inclusive resorts I have been to. Free internet throughout the resort but very slow. FOOD: Probably the worst of any resort (even 2.5 star resorts) due to lack of selection, cold, taste, over salted, poor quality orange juice tasting like powdered drink, wife being denied access as staff deemed her coverup was not appropriate but was dressed the same as most others. Most staff wer [... read more]e pleasant but it was obvious that many were not happy working there. Loved the fact that there were not long lineups as in most other hotels. POOL: Very clean and well maintained, Most loungers were in very poor shape due to broken webbing. They needed to be claimed by 7:30 am or you were out of luck for the rest of the day as there were not enough for all that needed them. Several umbrellas were broken but they were fixed during our stay. Pool bar didn't open for specialty coffee until 8 am. On most days, there was a competition between the music system at the entertainment area and the cigar bar. You couldn't understand either as they drowned each other out. Foam party was awesome. Far too many promotors constantly walking around trying to sell massages, photography etc. Service was very slow with only 1 bartender. ROOM: Junior suite was very large and well cleaned. Beds need to be replaced as they were saucer shaped - kept rolling to the centre. Pillows uncomfortable. the air conditioner broke down twice at night but was fixed soon after reporting the problem. On one night the smoke detector started beeping throughout the night. It was fixed quickly also. Lost 3 nights sleep due to these problems. OTHER: Great beach. Very good Sunwing reps. Hotel is conveniently close to a mini mall and a beach market. Not a big fan of locals being allowed into the hotel. I missed having a large lobby with a bar where guests could gather and have a drink and socialize. I thought the entertainment started too late at 10:00 pm. Some of the entertainment and promotion staff acted EXTREMELY inappropriately with some single female guests (both in words and actions).

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Amazing resort. Always clean, great food, lots of variety😎

We had a bit of a rough start at first. But once we got the rooms all settled things went along well Staff were very polite & pleasant Lots of variety on things going on. The beach is great, loved watching all the kite boarding. I would recommend this resort to anyone. Would definite consider going back.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Fun Time

The hotel staff where all friendly and accommodating . Hotel was situated close to airport. Beach was very good for walking and enjoying watching the wind kites and sailing. Food was very good above expectations. My wife and I will stay at this place again.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Very nice resort

We really enjoyed our vacation. Very clean rooms. Grounds very clean, neat and tidy.Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good in the buffet.Lots of choice. Unlimited access to a la carte restaurants was nice. Entertainment staff worked very hard to make sure everyone enjoyed their time there.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Great for the price!

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Amazing resort

This resort was pristine, the food was amazing, our fav was sofrito the steak was beyond great. The staff at the resort was great. The animation team was so much fun. Black Panther is terrific in his job. We stayed in the Amnesia junior suite the room was so spacious and immediately clean. I can't think of a single bad thing to say about this resort. It was a much needed vacation and it surpassed my expectations

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Awesome Resort!

We stayed here the beginning of Jan. We loved this resort. Staff was very nice, great entertainment, delicious food, and nice rooms with comfy beds. The beach was awesome as well. Would Highly recommend!

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Fantastic Resort!

What a great vacation! I have nothing negative to say about Viva V. This resort is small, but that's why we loved it! Everything is right there! Restaurants, Pools, within a few steps. Room were great, well appointed, we had the Amnesia Junior Suite, which has a kind of separate living space with a couch. Great for us! Two tvs, balcony. Beds and pillows were clean and comfy. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The food here is exceptional, offering great choices. Buffet had lobster ta [... read more]ils, and stuffed peppers! I've never experienced such a vast array, and very tasty choices at a resort before this. Our favourite, but about a five minute walk is on the beach, and this restaurant offers nachos and cheese, homemade, delish pizza, hotdogs, and fries during the day, and in the evening an Italian restaurant, which is very busy, depending on the time you go, you may wait up to a half hour, but you sit right on the beach and have drinks while you wait! Everything there is well worth the wait, the ravioli is to die for! This is an all adult resort, and I noticed there are lots of singles, as well as couples. Entertainment group is the best I've seen at a resort. Just fabulous! Disco almost everynight if you choose to go. Fun fun! Or your vacation can just be a relaxing one, just lying by the pool. Great value for your money vacay. Will be back!
