Viva Dominicus Beach by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive

Love the beach area with snorkeling right on site, only issue was the soda fountain was always limited on options and what they offer was either not set up correctly or out of stock.

Toilets did not work. We paid for one king size bed and was given twin beds. I had to spend two hours to resolve the problem, yet was not given a late check out.

1: I didn’t get the accommodations I paid for 2: The unit I was in smelled like sewage 3: some of the people at the reception desk were not friendly or had enough tactics to deal with people (very rude) 4: after days of me trying to get the problem resolved by talking to different people, managers the problem never got resolved 5: when they finally have the time to get to my difficulties it was too late to change rooms I got here on Thursday to leave on Wednesday they asked me if I wanted to move to a different room on Monday afternoon, by then what was the purpose of moving for just a day. So overall I am very disappointed with this property; I don’t know if I will come back to this specific one next time.

The property os beautiful. The beach is beautiful. The food and service is thrash. Like not even worth eating. The worst good I ever ate. Stale and old food. At least the rooms and the views are great. This hotel is like a cruise on land. The service is also poor. Never felt welcomed and no one looks happy to be there.

Beach bungalow is only way to book this property! Amazing to be able to sit on porch at ocean and walk right onto beach. Caribbean water is great, very clear, snorkeling is good, very enjoyable swimming for all ages. No seaweed!!! Food needs improvements, buffets and sit down restaurants are average at best. Reservation restaurants were just dressed up buffet selections. Didn’t like the full self-service thing they have going on with buffet, I understand there is a lot of people but I spent more time getting my family drinks, tracking down napkins/utensils than I did eating. At least have tables turned around quickly. Seemed understaffed. Pools were too small for amount of people here. The set up with resort and it’s VIP/Super VIP was confusing and annoying so we just went anywhere we wanted, I’m fairly certain we sat in VIP area of entire stay. This place is very loud at night and blasts music until midnight at least. Didn’t like that there were no shade options outside of VIP areas on beach, people just huddle up around trees and put their towels on prime chairs to not be there the entire day. No shade at pools either. English is the least spoken language here, it’s a European resort chain, which took getting used to with questions. Traveled with spouse, 5yr old and infant. Overall the ocean bungalow room and convenience to everything made up for negatives. Many average/negative reviews for this place are accurate though FWIW. It’s like 7/10 resort that could better.

The checkin was a madness. Coming for a quick vacation from our wedding, they wouldnt accept any Id (driver license from US nor Dominican, fireman dept id, nothing): they wanted the local id (expired due to this year president elections and were all expired) so I had to go back to the city (2h drive) to get my passport just for them to “take a copy”, which i gave them and wouldnt accept. To reserve a spot for 2 on ANY of the restaurants was impossible: everything was full. Had to eat at the buffet the 3 days even after spending 950us for the stay. The buffet food is incredibly bad. Out of the 10 restautants available, 7 you had to PAY EXTRA 12.5usd to reserve, what a joke of all inclusive resort is this. The TV was from the f 80s or something (see picture, from jurassic world playing). Im just surprised how disappointing this hotel is. There are much better options in Bayahibe, probably lole Catalonia. I would not recommend AT ALL this hotel with so many better options that are really all inclusive, unlike this.

This property has the most beautiful beach and pools with plenty of chairs. It is clean and well maintained. They are seriously understaffed with the evening buffet actually not having food out first evening- it was picked clean. We ate at the ala carte restaurants in the evening all other dinners and we were happy. The line for the bar is deep because there is is one person tending bar and four people washing cups. Count on the fact your room won’t be ready- my husband says it part of the experience. Some employees can be really rude - but there are others who really make up for it. We’ve stayed at the property six or seven times over the past decade. We love the beach - it’s the best!

The food was very bad and the waiters did not even pay attention to the spoon they put on the table, they had a lot of attitude towards the customers, there is no hygiene

El entretenimiento La musica en el Hotel TODO el Dia son muy buenas.La ducha TENIA POCA AGUA y en las Noches NO HABÍA AGUA.NECESITAN FUMIGAR VIMOS CUCARACHAS.En general el HOTEL necesita remodelacion sobretodo El VIVA BEACH, El VIVA Palace se ve mejor.Nos encantó la piscina de agua salada.El trato del personal del Hotel es Excelente, muy cariñosos y atentos, por eso vamos mucho a Republica Dominicana porque nos tratan Superbien.

Check in and check out waited an hour and check out over a half hour. No sense of urgency to have guests check in or out.
