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!

Hotel and staff excellente! Room ok. Plain not fancy but clean. Beach great, hassled by local sellers but once u tell them not interested they leave u alone. Fantastic pool! Food is very good! Lots of options. Would definetly return👍🏻😊

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Fantastic time

The Resort was beautiful our room was very spacious and modern The staff was friendly but yet professional . The food was very good and the pool area was great the overall resort was very clean and tidy the beach was very good

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!

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Had a good time!

Beautiful resort and beautiful walk to the beach. amazing staff. Could use some updates and cleaning. the pictures of rooms look more amazing then they are.The beds were quite hard but the pillows were amazing. Placed in nice and safe area. Food was alright. buffet was good however the mexican resteraunt was a big let down.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great spot!

My partner and I really enjoyed this hotel. It’s beautiful, modern, small and adult only! We had a lovely time for our week long stay and came back very very relaxed. The food at the beach front restaurant was the best of the whole resort and after a night of pina coladas and mojitos, the 24/hr room service was a nice touch. The mattresses were a bit hard but the pillows were great! The entertainment team was also great, very friendly and the nightly performances were full of talent! As two le [... read more]sbians, we were slightly uncomfortable at times because of some of the male entertainment staff but I suppose this is to be expected in the Caribbean. Otherwise, great spot and would recommend anyone to visit!

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Very Zen Resort!

Very clean everywhere & well maintained; rooms, restaurants, toilettes, sidewalks , grounds, pool & beach! Relaxing resort; soft, music at the pool / no loud music at the beach. We always choose an all-inclusive / adults only resorts the week between X-Mas & New Years so we have a great party to attend! This one was no different; it was a great party! Great food; langouste / filet mignon & much much more at no extra cost. Very good (upgrade) Bubbly + dance floor at the pool, live music.  [... read more]The only thing missing was the fireworks like you get in Punta Cana. but that's it.. Points to improve; staff at lobby should be more knowledgeable /aware of what's happening in their resort. ie: New Year's Eve party - on the 30th NO Lobby Staff knew what kind of party it was going to be, where, how , start of festivities.....Finally on the morning of the 31st they put up a board with menus ...but that's it....huuummm! asked for activities & if the TV/Screen wasn't working no one knew or had the info ...you finally figure it out if you happen to pass by - good thing this resort isn't big! Aside from Lobby staff in need of being more in tuned with their facilities, everyone was pleasant, polite and respectful with smiles! p.s. I would recommend the Person in charge of room cleaning take time to check their staff work. EVERY DAY in our room either a glass was missing on dirty! if you have a coffee machine, it needs coffee & not 2 cups & 1 saucer ??? sometimes we had 1 face*towel & sometimes none. We asked for the patio screen to be fix 3 times - each time they came right away to fix it BUT never check what happens when you open the glass door!.......it didn't fit! and last, the cleaning lady NEVER broomed the patio - she would place the couch pillows but nothing else.... Doesn't need much for this resort to become a 5 star ! simply better follow-up with staff!

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Outstanding Resort

The Grounds and beach were amazing and entertainment was great. The rooms were just like the picture that you see from sunwing. We had the Amnesa Jr Suite which super clean every day. The foam party that they on Saturdays is crazy fun and great food. I wish we would have booked for two weeks instead of just one.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great Holiday

Hotel rooms are nice, not wow but ok, Food was good, Entertainment are awsome, friendly nice and fun, The beach party was the best , so much fun, The foam party also lots of fun We took a zip line tour that i wouldnt go again, almost all day in the bus , 3 stops but very short

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: VH Heavens

The resort was great. The activities group were amazing. The food was good too. Loved the a la carte and no reservations The rooms were spacious and clean. Only downside would be the fact that no rooms have beach view or really much of any view Keep in mind it is a small resort. My type but not everyone’s. Also the resort is back from the beach. It has its own private beach area which was perfect. Beach bar was good Beach rivals those of Punta Cana People were nicer. Airport was c [... read more]leaner, smaller newer. We landed at 1115 and as we had no checked baggage we opted for the 35 Usd cab ride and were in our room by noon. Also keep in mind it wasn’t prime time. Not all restaurants were open which made total sense for the occupancy level also not sure how pool area would be at full occupancy. Golf course right across the street if that’s of interest

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Had a Great Week at Viva Wyndham!

We really enjoyed our stay at Viva Wyndham. Our suite and the hotel grounds were clean and well maintained (although the beds are very hard), restaurants, bars and buffet were delicious and well stocked and we had no significant issues to contend with. Staff are not as friendly/smiling as other places we have been to but very attentive and polite. LOTS of great activities everyday at the resort and the Animation team are amazing - so happy, energetic and friendly. They really helped to make [... read more] our trip (we especially made connections with Miss Africa and Blondie/Pineapple Head - our favourites! You guys were awesome!!). We did a bike ride, yoga, aqua-sizes in the pool, beach volleyball, fun group activities and went to the shows at night. Beach and pool were clean and have lots of chairs available plus access to food/drinks. Was quite windy with strong waves the whole week so we didn't utilize the kayaks/paddle boards. Only complaint would be the constant hawkers trying to sell you things every 5 mins...we understand it was low season and it would be nice if there was a section they couldn't come into on the beach! Front desk was a bit disorganized and we weren't sure why we couldn't confirm our late checkout until the day we were leaving (they should know who is coming to the resort days in advance right?) but finally Jose was able to take care of us so we had a great last day! Nearby Mall (5 min walk) is great and very convenient. Prices were very fair and negotiable and we bought our souvenirs there.
