Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Great Resort

Loved our recent week at Windham Tangerine, amazing pool, have been to many resorts and the staff at this one is the best we've ever encountered, service with a smile at all times. The ocean was a little rough but beautiful just the same, great for taking long walks. The only complaint we had was the red wine was very poor quality, so we just switched to white which was much better, although every time we went to the bar for white wine they had to search for a wine opener, would suggest they pu [... read more]rchase one for the bar area it would save a lot of time. Tried all 3 a la carte restaurants & they were all very good.

The grounds were immaculate at all times.Never once heard a leaf blower, all raking was done manually. Tile pathways around pool and other area's were very slippery with even the slightest amount of water. outdoor beds tended to be damp most of the time, sheets were not changed after overnight rain. Towels frequently in short supply Beach area was very clean waiters at the beach only came around if you tipped them ( we learned that pretty fast).

I was shocked that they would have my girlfriend and I sitting 12 rows apart, there were around 8 empty seats on the plane, they could and should have done better, a real disappointment, especially since I picked this resort because of WestJet, I did not want to fly with AirTransat because of their resent incidents of having people sitting on planes forever, and I did not pick AC because of their louse connections and airport layovers. I ended up buying plus seats, which were a good choice, but it was not part of the plan

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Beautiful Resort

Myself and 3 girls who travel together for girls trip were here from Sept.29 -Oct 6/17.The Resort was small but absolutely beautiful.The workers and entertainers were awesome.We made some great friends while we were there.The buffet was small, the food needs abit more variety I think.The beach and pool area was beautiful.Overall we had a great trip again.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Amazing holiday

The resort was small very clean comfy beds and amazing staff from Jose at the front desk to the wait staff and bartenders. Buffett wasn't the best but the restaurant food was amazing. We need some items to be fixed but it was done within 20 mins of our call to front desk.

Viva Azteca by Wyndham: Boring Resort

My husband and I stayed at the Wyndham Azteca resort this August. We quickly wished we went somewhere else. Although the staff gave excellent service, the resort itself had too many downfalls. First we were given the wrong room, then the toilet was broken. Next the shower handle broke off in my hand , the blow dryer holder fell off the wall, the power shorted out when my husband was ironing a shirt and i was blow drying my hair. The walls are so thin we could hear the conversations in the next  [... read more]room. The only air conditioning in the resort was in our room. The pool closed at 8 pm. There is no disco. No dancing. No nightlife. We were in bed every night at 9. The Tv had only 1 English channel. The only good thing was the excursions and staff. The hotel needs to be redone. And they need to hire someone to liven up the place. It was very relaxing because there was nothing to do. The pool was ok, but no swim up bar. The ocean was close and worth the visit.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Second time better than the first!

This is a small adults only resort directly on Coson beach. This was our second visit within a year and we were very impressed that many of the staff remembered us. No reservations are required for any of the a la carted (3), free wifi throughout the resort as well as being able to change towels whenever you like. Food and drinks are top notch. The beach is beautiful and you can walk for miles in either way. We are already planning our third trip for next summer!

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Vacances

Very nice family trip. Place, hotel end staf very profesionel. Vanderfoul place for maide surfing et kitering its amazing. I loved stay 14 days in this hotel, end visiting Cabarete with my family. Probably retourned next year.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Customer service needs lots of work

Viva Wyndham Tangerine is a small, cozy resort with outside buildings and grounds that were always well kept. Renovations to the rooms were poorly done and made them look dirty, especially the bathroom. Food was good, though nothing to write home about. Selection was very repetitive despite apparently having daily themes at the buffet. Italian a la carte was not great, but the Mexican a la carte was really good. We did not try the 3rd a la carte as the menu did not appeal to anyone in our fa [... read more]mily. Above all, the biggest drawback of this resort, in my opinion, is the customer service, or lack thereof. An important part of our vacation experience is the connections we normally make with the people that work at the hotel and at this location we did not connect with anyone because no one even made an effort to talk with us despite me speaking Spanish.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Nice resort - we go there mostly to kitesurf and surf.

We also really enjoy being able to walk to the village by the beach - nice to get out of the resort. Would also highly recommend a trip to Damajagua, the Teleferico and old town in Puerto Plato ( check out El Bergantin restaurant in the old Ladies Club) and Monkey Jungle. One wish only - beach resto is so beautiful for lunch but needs a little more for their menu - maybe just a pasta or tortilla bar...

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Good resort

It was our first time in Mexico and we chose this smaller resort. The beach is amazing! Lots of Palm trees for shade and lots of water activities although the seadoos were coming too close and giving off fumes. They should have a designated area. Buffet was small and very basic, comparable to Cuba, I expected more from Mexico, the à la carte were very good tho. No entertainment or live music and no table service we had to get everything ourselves at the bar. Room was clean and they keep the gr [... read more]ounds immaculate. The staff works very hard and are friendly. We're not demanding or picky so we still had a good week but would not return.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Average resort

The resort was a little older and dated but clean and well maintained The rooms were bare bones,no alarm clock,coffee maker and having to pay for the safe was a little annoying. The food in the alacart restaurants was good but lackluster in the buffet The staff and service was excellent. Lots of beach chairs was nice. The shows at night were good. Overall the resort was good but more of a 3 star by mexican standards

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Enjoyed our vacation

The resort is lovely. We chose it for its being adults-only and small--144 rooms. Also, it's about 20 minutes by bus through gorgeous hills and views of the ocean to arrive from the Samana airport. The room was on the small side but clean and attractive. Daily the fridge was re-stocked with pop, Presidente, and water. The bathroom had been updated and was pleasing with the glass shower stall. Our king-size bed was comfy. On the balcony were two wicker chairs with cushions. I think mo [... read more]st of the rooms would have a sea-view. We certainly did from our room in Building B, which is behind the buffet. Food was just satisfactory even in the ala cartes. This was quite a let-down. The wine and 'champagne' were dreadful. Beach towels were plentiful. The beach had sun loungers pulled up to near the shore so people were very close to one another. However, many people didn't mind being behind, and some even moved their sun beds to the grassy area. No palapas are present, which is sort of problematic since everyone has to move their beds to stay either in the sun or shade from the palm trees. Hence, the over-crowding. The pool was only four feet deep but was nice. A few Bali beds there are reserved early by people. We had a good time but it just isn't the resort for us. I must commend Kim Hartlen, our travel agent from Bedford, NS for being just fantastic! She is a total professional with a friendly touch. Despite my having to ask her some simple questions over the course of a few weeks, she was always polite and patient with me. We already have our next trip booked through her! 😀

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Wonderful vacation

The viva wyndham Samana is a smaller resort which is exactly what we wanted. It has been beautifully restored. The grounds are well kept and lush. The rooms have plenty of space and storage all have some kind of view of the ocean. The bathrooms look great but are narrow. The showers are very good which to me is important especially after time in the ocean. The beach is great for walking in either direction lots of privacy lots of beautiful homes to look at . The food is good there. There was som [... read more]e items that were very good others not so much.. after a couple days you find what you like best.. you certainly won't starve. They are generous with the drinks they have top shelf liquor and a decent white wine.the service in the restaurants runs from good to awesome. The man who runs the smaller lunch area the turns into the Mediterranean restaurant in the evening is fantastic. He really helped to make your time there a wonderful experience. Look for Santos! I would definitely recommend this place to people who want a relaxing friendly personalized experience. It is the type of place where you can do as little or as much as you want!

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Amazing Resort and Great People!!!

This hotel had amazing staff and grounds. It is definatly a 5 star resort with all the ammenities. The rooms were super clean and 24 hr room service is another plus. A well needed getaway and super appreciative. Thank you tripcentral.ca

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Great place within budget

This hotel is not fancy- rooms are basic but clean. The staff is incredible... friendly, helpful and welcoming. Grounds are kept meticulously. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, plenty of shade and enough chairs for everyone. Pool is a decent size, never seemed crowded and was always well maintained. Food was ok. Lots to choose from in the buffet, but some days better than others as each day a different nationality was featured. Lots of Mexican options if that interests you. A la carte r [... read more]estaurants were very good. We aren't big drinkers but what we did try was fine, not excellent but just ok. We would definitely go back here.

Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach: Loved it!

The room is NOT beautifull, but all the rest is! Wounderfull beach. excellent restaurants. great staff. And it took only 45 minutes both ways to travel from airport/hotel. I was travelling with a baby, and she love it too!

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: I won this trip from Jack FM London

Although the beach and the resort was beautiful, I was disappointed overall. The dining room was very crowded and is was rare to get coffee or wine served to us. Disappointed that there was only one bar. The bartenders could not speak english and did not understand how to make specific drinks. Drinks were also disappointing in that they were all from the slushie machine. Poor that the fridge in room did not work and only water was supplied. Venders on the beach were over the top annoying.  [... read more] Entertainment staff crossed the line with propositioning and flirting with my daughter. Other resorts they have been friendly, but not like this. The food was good and the a la cartes were good. The resort was clean and a nice size.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Wonderful, relaxing stay

This small resort is for couples that enjoy a quiet, off the beaten path experience for complete relaxation. The staff was attentive and available to accomodate for almost every detail. The rooms are smaller but updated with clean bathrooms, large screen TV's and modern decor. We were able to enjoy free wifi almost anywhere, including the beach! The beach was great for walking but the ocean was wavy our entire time there. For those who may be uncertain swimmers or require a gentle entry fro [... read more]m the beach for mobility, this may not be the ideal location for you to enjoy ocean swimming, you may choose to enjoy the beautiful pool area instead. The food in the buffet and all 3 ala carte's was a pleasant surprise. The head chef from Viva Wyndham Resorts was there at the time and the quality of the food was excellent considering some of the earlier reviews we had read before we went. The Viva Wyndham V Samana was an excellent resort vacation and would highly recommend to couples who want to get away from it all!

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Will Definitely Go Back!

This is the first resort my husband and I have visited that we can't wait to go back to. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Viva Wyndham Samana - it is kept spotlessly clean inside and out, perfectly laid out with a view of the ocean no matter where you are, delicious food, fun and friendly staff and a beautiful beach. The rooms are not large, but are all you need with a lovely shower that was always hot with lots of water, the pool is gorgeous with so many places to tuck aw [... read more]ay and relax, no issues finding a lounge whenever or wherever we wanted one and even they are scrubbed daily. The staff always had something going on in the evenings - beach party, stage show, bingo ... it's not a big resort, so mostly low-key, but lots of fun. We traveled with another couple and can't wait to go back next year with more friends.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Great resort for relaxing

The staff are always smiling and very quick to help. The grounds are very well kept and there always maintaining the pool as well. The team ask if you wanted to join in the games everyday but did not push. The food was hot in the a la carts with good service. The beach buffet was good, pizza, but always ran out, not replenish a lot. Thanks, we had a great week.
