Viva Maya by Wyndham: Beautiful resort

Lovely resort, very reasonable price. The location is perfect in Playacar. The beach is stunning, the rooms are charming, the food is pretty good. Plenty of activities with daily events and nightly performances.

Viva Azteca by Wyndham: Nice place

Washrooms and bar far from the beach swimming pool a bit small everything else pretty good close to the main shopping district nice nightly entertainment and daily activities are for all ages good place for a family with kids

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Fabulous stay

We stayed with family for a week and totally enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The food was amazing. We had no complaints. There was so much variety. We all absolutely loved the Fusion a la carte and would have eaten there every night if we could have. Only thing my husband was not a fan of was plastic glasses from the bar in the evening and some inconsistent drink mixes. The beach was stunning and you could always find chairs and loungers. Also loved the pool. The entertai [... read more]nment team was fantastic. It was a nice quiet relaxing time.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Very Chill Boutique Resort

Smaller boutique resort. Food was excellent, rooms were great, and the entertainment team was very good. Very pretty grounds and beach but the waves can get quite big. Loungers are easy to get even mid day. All of the staff were great.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Ok place

Very small resort. Food was good. A few cons. No coffee until 7 30 am. Room supplies coffee makers but maybe get 2 small cups. If you are an early riser than no coffee available till buffet opens and no cappuccino until pool bar decides to start. Cafe does not open until 9 which makes no sense. No alcohol until 10am. I had a room in building 6 and the first 2 days bathroom floor was always wet. Could not find leak turns out floor was sweating because of a/c. Went away don't know why. Bar staff [... read more] at times did not look interested to serve especially in the morning. Pros are the food and a la carte. Pool was adequate. Grounds are clean. Beach seems ok. I would not go back. Seems slow pace and too small for me.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: You get what you pay for!

We went to Viva Tangerine by Wyndham because inexpensive but we now wish we would choose different hotel. For starters the entire hotel had problems with hot water. Out of 7 days we had 2 days when we could take comfortable shower. The only bar in this resort was always very crowded and noisy ( especially when there was rain and all guests had to stay in this small hall) The food was ok but the drinks were very low quality. The wine was not drinkable! There was also water or something oily comin [... read more]g from the ceiling on our bed despite of the fact that our room was on a ground floor! On the positive, the beach is big and the entrance to the ocean very shallow and no rocks. Also there were a lot of beds around the pool and beach so no need for reservations. The staff was trying hard to please guests but the hotel should not operate if it's lacking basic facilities. Overall we would never go back to this resort and we were happy that we were leaving after one week.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: So so

The staff were great but this resort is not for people who have mobility issue . At first we were given a room on ground floor patio door did not lock I had to threaten them to sleep in the lobby before they give me a different room. This resort has some kind of vacation plan so if you are not part of the plan you can have only certain drinks just the cheap stuff. To go to the beach you have to walk a good distance only one pool food is ok to many kids running around

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: It is a budget all-inclusive resort

If you have a tight budget but still want to go to an all-inclusive resort, this can be your choice. Staffs are friendly and will do their best to help you. Resort is small but clean. Pool can be crowded. Beach is nice but with high waves, not a place to swim ( we stayed 7 days and 5 days are red flag. Staff will ask you not to ocean at all). Food is OK. Not lots of choices though and it seems same menu almost everyday. We did walk to a nearby sea food restaurant to have dinner three times.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Superby Service

This is my first time visiting the Caribbean. I have never visited an "all inclusive resort" before and I was impressed with the calibre of service they offered. Being a strict Vegetarian, I thought i would face obstacles but rather the chef/staff were more than accommodating to meet the needs of my family of 3. There were new varieties of food every day —fresh fruits galore!! The salad bar had fresh vegetables daily, and they were far more colourful than a typical salad bar we experience in O [... read more]ntario. Room service: Daily a cleaning staff would bring fresh towels and make up our bed and place 2 bottles of water in the bar fridge. I had booked the "Amnesia junior suite" with 2 double beds, with a sofa. The suite is very comfortable and you dont feel cramped in . The wash room is nice. Showerstall was perfect for those hot days to cool off. Bars: beach side and pool side No words to describe how friendly and hospitable they are to tourist. They will make any drink you like. Day or not night.. No end of liquors, as if it were flowing like water!! Cafe shop: At this resort, there is a coffee shop. Many North American tourists enjoy their dose of caffeine in the morning. The cafe would make any speciality coffees that you may fancy. Daily I would come over and get my Cappacinino and my Crossisant. Very popular spot during the day. I would like to recommend if they can extend the hrs from until 9pm rather than 5pm. In the evening,there are some of us,who enjoy a nice Night cap in the evenings. Amazing fresh pastries made daily! Beach: The team called "Viva Vibe" are staff they help with any water sports one would like to entertain while at the beach. Almost daily we would ask the staff to come an accompany us (family ) each in separate kayaks and help us navigate through the chopping waves of the Alantic Ocean. VIVA ViBE are responsible for entertainment at the resort. They perform the live shows, the night dancing and the Disco. The staff are highly skilled and very helpful. I love their "service attitude".Always smiling and will to help a helping hand if one facing any problems rendering the services at the resort. Excellent service ( 5 stars). La carte Dining: We had the pleasure of attending only 2.The rest were fully booked.The chef would prepare speciality dish for us, because we were Vegetarian. One night were had Italian.Best Italian food I have ever tasted!! Only issue is that spots fill out very quickly first thing in the morning. Can the management open up another restaurant on the premises to have 2 la carte dining at the same time with 2 separates cusines?? Everyone would like that intimate fine dining experience with "wine ,dine and candle light setting" but those slots fill up quickly!!

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Small but nice resort

Upon arrival we were sent to what looked like a prison cell (not actually) but it was so small, no balcony, no sitting spot- the Bliss room. We got moved the next day, to a suite and it was much better. The resort is very small. Food was pretty decent sort of the same things each day. Small pool, so it seemed crowed at times. Wifi kicks you off often so you have to constantly sign back in. Nothing to do at night unless you wait for the disco to open at 11pm, we didn't check it out! Mostly Domini [... read more]can people when we were there. No complaints!!

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Excellent Resort

It is not too big so the staff are very friendly and easily remember you and your wants re drinks, etc. Easy access to the beach with sufficient lounges for everyone. The pool area is always lively. The ala carte restaurants are very good, with the Mediterranean getting my highest recommendation. The buffet always has something to offer even the pickiest of eaters. The rooms are well maintained.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Perfect place for vacation

Spent one week with my wife in the first half of June. It was our first time at this resort and we like everything about the place: adults only with limited number of patrons, well equipped rooms with comfortable queen beds, daily cleaning and towels change (though the cleaning begins usually at 11am and may last till 4pm), fantastic beach and ocean (long chairs are available all day long, no need to take them early in the morning), tasty and healthy food with vast varieties (great assortment of [... read more] deserts), friendly service and entertainment (group of cheerleaders tried to entertain the patrons all day long, invited singers every night), special events at the buffet, quality drinks at the bars with the long list of cocktails, small gym is well equipped and fitness fans may support the form during vacation. The resort is well managed and personnel really tries to provide the best service. Definitely it worth the price and for the next vacation we will not look for something else. Though a couple shortcomings may be mentioned: water supply to the room has been interrupted one day and one night without notice, and 3 last nights were not very comfortable because of the neighbours - not very civilised patrons used to get to the room about 10pm and watched TV with a rather high volume till around 2am. Since the TV sets are mounted on the walls we had to listen to their noise. After the first night I placed a complaint to the Customer service but it seems nobody talked to the neighbours because they set TV at the same volume in the night. On the third night I smacked the wall and only then they surprisingly reduced the volume.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Struggling to find itself

Before COVID this place was awesome - it WAS adults only and a classy fun place. Now they have switched to a family resort and the locals invade every weekend and they DO NOT like tourists. They keep removing items that were offered before - no more room service - no more bath towel and slippers. The hotel is struggling to figure out who they should appeal to. The hotel was hosting a Vacation Boot Camp conference when we arrived which helped the food selection and quality. The conference end [... read more]ed and the tomatoes went from beautiful red to green and red. Management seems disorganized and wasteful - they made staff setup two days for a pool dinner when we clearly had rain rolling in - both times it was rained out and switched to the indoor buffet. Reception Manager Miguel should be demoted for his inability to understand customer service and loyalty to repeat customers. Other staff are frustrated with his personality too. On the other hand Animation Manager Rafael would be a great replacement and a friendly replacement for Miguel. Staff that made the vacation good include Orelvis, Oscabelly, Yanet, Tony, Juan, Darwin and Omar. A another special thank you goes to Andrea in the Spa - always friendly and a superstar in our eyes. In conclusion - if you want Adults only with Wyndham go to Samana where you will be happy.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Amazing Resort!

Wonderful resort! The beach was fantastic! We had so much fun! This was our first Adult only & it was very quiet & worth it. Very clean. Staff very friendly. The Rep from Air Transat, Catherine was wonderful. She gave us very helpful information. Will certainly return to this resort.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Great Family Resort

The resort is not big, however it's a beautiful resort to stay. Clean grounds and kept well. Food is great, lots of varieties of food in the buffet restaurant. Staffs are friendly and activity entertainment are amazing. It's a wonderful family resort. The price is worth it!

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: What a great experience!

I went on vacation with my sister, my 18 year old niece and her best friend. Our Tripcentral Rep Colleen made the whole booking experience seemless, taking care of any of our questions promptly and keeping us up to date on everything. Thank you!!! From the moment our vacation started at the airport, to arriving for a week and the return home, I can honestly say it was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. The flight was early arriving. The hotel was amazing. Clean room, no bugs, could do [... read more] with pictures in the room, but other than that, the bed was very comfortable and we were able to control the temperature in our room with no problem. The hotel grounds were very clean and beautiful, especially the walk to the beach through the lush, tree lined walkway path. The restaurants and food were excellent. There was something for everyone and we were able to try all but the Blend restaurant. We all loved the little cafe that had iced coffee, hot beverages, wraps and pastries. It was nice when we wanted a snack. Our favourite meal was the huge bbq the one night, out by the pool. So much to choose from and delicious! The staff were always willing to help and when we needed something, we were able to ask with no problems. The beach was very clean and chairs were always available. We had no bugs until the last couple of evenings, but we had bug spray, so it was a non issue. The entertainment was very good. There were several beach vendors, but it seemed to be controlled as you were told to remember their shirt numbers if you wanted something, but if you said no, they didn’t continue to bother you. Saying that, there were several of them. Our only disappointment was that the pool was dirty from Monday to Thursday when it was cleaned and chlorine added and we used it the rest of the time.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Quiet and Peaceful Resort

If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful resort - this is the place. Staff are friendly and the resort is very well maintained. All services and features are very close. Food is great and drinks are always enjoyable.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Amazing

We loved the resort. It’s small, the food is good and staff are so amazing. Loved the entertainment team. Rooms were super clean. Beach was nice. Loved the mexican restaurant and the Italian as well.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Beautiful small resort

Everything is perfect Will go again My daughter been there 3 times. Going on your own is safe The little Café Place is so much fun. People there are really nice I have nothing negative. 7 days to 10 is enough cause a small quiet place

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Very good hotel

Очень хороший резорт ,хороший сервис,прекрасная еда,замечательный сад,прекрасный пляж,удобное местоположение,правильный дизайн,возможность отдохнуть в покое. К сожалению люди курят,прямо под табличками запрещающими это,но обслуга,увы,позволяет это, Все остальное очень не плохо.
