Viva Miches by Wyndham: Great Resort!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The food, entertainment, and overall atmosphere were excellent, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. The staff was attentive and friendly, making our experience very enjoyable. The only small downside was the bar, which could use more staff and glassware. At times, proper glasses ran out, and being served a beer in a small juice glass wasn’t ideal. The entertainment team was outstanding, and Aries truly deserves special mention. He went above [... read more] and beyond to include my son in the daily activities and made him feel welcome and confident. It was amazing to watch my son participate in volleyball, bocce, and Zumba alongside guests who didn’t even speak English. Aries’ kindness, energy, and genuine enthusiasm created unforgettable memories for our family. He is a true asset to the resort.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Great beach and locatiom

Our room was in the newer section and very nice. The resort was well maintained and nicely decorated for Christmas. There were some minor shortcomings; sun loungers had no cushions, towels and sheets all looked grey, food and drink quality was inconsistent. We enjoyed ourselves very much and the price was great so we would recommend.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Best beach ever, However !!!!

Our third visit to this resort and 4th time to this beach. In all of our travels, this is the 2nd best beach ever to walk and experience. The V room with plunge was worth the little extra expense, doubles the patio size, although the pool was cool and you couldn’t retract the awning for the sun to warm up the pool. Pina coladas were 7/10 from a slushy machine. Other drinks like a Singapore Sling, Mai Tai, were, well let’s just say horrible. Wish I would have booked the bungalows. Otherwise, our  [... read more]room was in the 600 block. Request 600 block rooms 6111-1114. Or 6211-6214, 6311-6314 as these are on the end on the 6 block and have full ocean view. 6314 would be the ultimate private balcony. There’s no need for the towel game as there are enough lounge chairs, but you do need to get up by 7 and play the game when you need the cushion for the lounge. MOST IMPORTANTLY, there is a gastronomic virus circulating and the Air Canada rep tells you although Air Canada doesn’t. We both were sick for 2 days. Apparently all over the DR. The restaurants are so/so. Menu doesn’t change. For the price, it’s a good deal.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Okay resort

Resort felt very small and overcrowded. Rooms were outdated and uncomfortable, and the music/entertainment was boring and repetitive. Overall disappointing—would recommend choosing a better resort. Go somewhere else

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Resort was OK

Beach was very good, Grounds were nice also, Rooms could be better, Food was ok, not enough bars. yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayyayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayyayayayayayayayayayyayayayayyayayayayayya

Viva Miches by Wyndham: Amazing Resort

New very clean. Small but well laid out. Less than 600 rooms. Staff did it not speech English but lots of other guests where fromArgentina & Quebec so easier for them to Communicate. Highly recommend this resort.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Overall a great hotel

My wife and I were satisfied with our stay. Good hotel. Especially excellent food beach restaurants. We took the cheapest economical option of the room. Accordingly, the renovations were not the best But everything necessary for accommodation was. Thank tripcentral!!!!

Viva Miches by Wyndham: Basic, Great Beach, Bad Food & Wine

This is a very basic resort. The room was absolutely bare bones. No blanket, extra towels, Kleenex, accent cushions and not a single piece of art on the walls. The walls (or in my case the door between rooms) was paper thin. I heard everything next door and in the hallway. The buffet food was terrible. Not a single working salt shaker, I could never find a spoon for my yogurt, staff were unsmiling and not overly attentive. The food made me ill from day 2 onwards. Pretty sad night entertainment.  [... read more] The only amazing feature of this hotel is the beach view. It’s almost deserted to the left, with beautiful mountains in the horizon. That and the Latin restaurant food was good. Too bad I only got to book in 1 time to an à la carte restaurant over my 4 days…. Zero service on the beach and long lines at the beach bar. Beach buffet terrible. Oh and the wine they served was horrible. Not drinkable. Pina coladas clearly made from a mix. Overall I would never return. I would consider another hotel in Miche as the view was amazing, but not this one.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Resort good, but small.

Small resort which could use a swim up bar and/or a sports bar. The all together room was a little bland. But Henry was kind enough to switch us to an amnesia junior room which was a great improvement. We had asked for a room on a higher floor but the all together room was on the lower floor and it really was not a pleasant room. Henry from front desk moved our room to 3rd floor and it was a huge improvement.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Okay vacation but more of a 3 star experience!

I travelled to this resort with my family celebrating a birthday. it was a short 4 day experience yet I was happy to go home. The hotel is very dated, and the pictures online make it look nicer, and larger. The rooms smelled musky and moldy and were nothing special. During my stay I was woken up on two occasions to loud guests screaming and fighting, with one of the incidences having the police called to the resort. The cocktails and drinks were made well and tasted great. The buffet had lit [... read more]tle to no variety with many of the dishes recycled daily, especially at the beach bar buffet. The a la carte restaurants were okay but nothing was fantastic, a lot of the food tasted bland. They did a nice thanksgiving dinner spread which was the best meal we had. The beach is nice with many options for seating. The staff is friendly and accommodating, however this doesn't change the overall feeling that the resort is much for of a 2.5-3 star rather than a 4 star. Overall I wouldn't recommend this resort, the negatives out weight the positives and even if you're on a budget pay I'd bit more for a better experience.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Very good resort

The location is excellent. The beach is amazing. The rooms are good. All of the staff are very good. The food is decent. The efforts of all the staff was the best I have ever seen. They were the most caring about the guests and had a lot of serving staff, maids, bartenders and security presence which enhances and makes you feel appreciated, safe and truly welcome.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: So much fun!

This hotel is one of our faves. Small enough that the staff know you by name, but large enough to provide many fun activities. We enjoyed the flying trapeze, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, bingo, archery, bike ride to small ruins, foos ball and thw pool party which were all included. The beach was absolutely amazing all but 1 day. This was our third time there and will definitely be going back.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great small resort with excellent service

This was our third trip to Viva Heavens. Love this small resort. Everything is immaculate. The rooms are huge and the air conditioning is great. Wifi works throughout the resort. The food was great. Lots of choices and variety. Loved the fresh rolls and bread. Although we didn't participate, the animation team were friendly and seemed to get people involved. My only complaint is that there is no coffee available in the restaurants. We'd like to have a coffee after our meal, but you have to leave [... read more] the restaurant and go to the bar to get a coffee. The bartenders were not as friendly as before and although I got a "brown cow" the first night, ANY liquors (amaretto or coffee liquor) were not available after that first night. A very relaxing quiet week. The beach is clean and beautiful and so nice to walk along the "strip". During the off season the resort does fill with locals on the weekend, but they were friendly and polite.

Viva Miches by Wyndham: ECO Resort

The resort grounds was well kept and the room was very clean. The location and beach was amazing with no other resorts close by. The food was good and the staff was friendly and helpful. My stay was very relaxing. My only negative was the nightly entertainment started too late.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Do not recommend

Was here to celebrate my birthday, I am a frequent flyer to Dominican, first time at this hotel. Was not greeted warmly at all upon arrival and everytime walked by front desk never a hello. Never given a map, a tour or anythng just room key and had to find it ourselves. Room smelled of mold, no balcony very small and stuffy so could not dry any wet towels or bathing suits etc. Very long walk to beach so be prepared. Long waits for a drink as only one person working at a time so be prepared  [... read more]for a line up of the same drinks day in and out. Bar staff very friendly though. Coffee shop amazing, the best thing about this resort really. One buffet, same food everyday, was good though. One mexican restaurant that was really good but you have to book it despite saying you dont. One other dominican restaurant that they neglect to tell you are only open on Saturday and you have to book. Rec staff very sweet and friendly, they have salsa classes and games going. Went there on Dominican holiday and the locals would just walk right infront of you and be served regardless if you are in line they would cut right in front and were very loud playing their own music disregarding those around them. I am a frequent flyer to dominican usually staying in a condo but I wanted my daughter to experience an all inclusive. I actually left the hotel three days in and rented a condo even though I was booked for a week, no reimbursement whatsoever. Staff didn't seem to care. The good reviews are definately fake. Forgot to mention towel rental. Went up at least six times in a couple hours to get blue towels, was told they are in the wash, not an issue I get it. But after the sixth time the towel girl (who is sitting on red towels that are larger and better quality) says "these are usually for the dominicans but since you have been waiting you can have these". Overall, I would rate this a two star. Thank goodness for the beach as the pool was small and not very clean.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Amazing Resort

First trip solo and this resort is exactly what I was looking for. I felt very comfortable and safe all the time. It's a smaller resort. Close to market and shopping mall. The beach was a short walk and beautiful! Lots of chairs shade or sun! Resturant and bar right there too. Security guard on beach and resort at all times. Vendors were at the resorts and very respectful. My only disappointment were the women that were offering pedicures. Very aggressive and asking for ridiculous cost and t [... read more]oo persistent. Beware!! Food always a great selection and very good. Room was clean. Entertainment staff were so much fun. Definitely my go to place again!!

Viva Dominicus Palace by Wyndham: Disappointing 4-Star Experience

The resort falls far short of 4-star standards. Our "Superior Ocean View" room was starkly minimalist: no coffee maker, an empty mini-fridge, and a pay-per-use safe (watch the final bill—they tried to charge us double). The shower had almost no pressure, with water swinging wildly from scalding to icy. Noise from nearby activities blared past midnight every night, despite the room's prime location steps from the beach and its stunning balcony views. Dining and Bars: A Letdown The buffet was c [... read more]onsistently poor, missing items, zero variety, and low-quality food. À la carte restaurants were a step up with attentive service (unlike the nonexistent help at the buffet). Bars were chaotic: endless lines, subpar or unavailable drinks, and exhausted bartenders doing their best under pressure. Beach and Extras The white-sand beach was pleasant overall, mostly seaweed-free but dotted with hidden rocks. Weather was perfect (31°C+ sunshine), but skip the kayak/boat rental; they're rude. The pool was unappealing and poorly maintained. No visible cleaning efforts during the day, and the water appeared cloudy. In summary, beautiful setting marred by subpar facilities, food, and service. Not worth the 4-star price.

Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach: Beautiful Sunsets

This resort is beautiful. It has amazing sunsets, fun activities, and a wonderful beach. However, the staff is not very friendly nor is the clientele. It is Italian, French and Spanish speaking only. The guests are very rude and the staff is not very friendly. The entertainment staff was the best and seems to work all day until 12:30 am. We rented an Oceanfront bungalow, room 1152 the sand flees were everywhere including all over the room. We are covered in bites! The food was not great, buffet  [... read more]food is covered in flies and the tables were always dirty. We usually had to find utensils and napkins and clean off our own table. All though the grounds were really nicely kept and the pools were warm and clean, no sea weed at the ocean, the lack of friendliness and rude guests we would not return to this resort.

Viva Miches by Wyndham: Beautiful Resort

Very nice staff. There is a language barrier for those who do not speak Spanish. Speaking to servers at restaurants was something hard as an English speaker, but customer service representatives understood and spoke English. There is a family of cats including Kittens and they are very friendly and playful. Only thing is that the hotel room mini fridge only had 2 diet cokes and 2 tonic waters in the fridge and it is not restocked during the stay. Overall I would visit again.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Decent resort for reasonable price

Everything was good - beach, ocean, food, bars, room, but one nuisance should be mentioned. For some reason they organise the live performances with the local entertainers every evening right at the central plaza next to the main restaurant between the buildings ((though there is a special theatre next to the beach remotely from the room buildings) and such performances usually do not end till 10pm or even later. My first priorities at the resort are always the beach and the ocean and I go to be [... read more]d rather early moreover in November it is dark after 6pm. And I go to the beach before 8am. So, with the loud music from the performances there is no chance to get asleep before 10pm. I really cannot understand why they do not begin the shows earlier and do not wrap up before 9pm. Only the guests at the buildings 5 and 6 can sleep relatively well, those buildings are protected by the buildings 2 and 3.
