"Clean room, beach bar has amazing drinks"

"Resort beach had unobstructed views and nice evening sunsets, no beach chairs, umbrellas or loungers not even for rent. Resort does provide a beach towel exchange for each person every day. The beach is not groomed or maintained it is a public beach with private access with security oversight from a neighboring resort. Resort has a nice pool area but no swim up bar or drink services poolside. Staff were great and helpful when needed. The meals are subjective and same offering of some traditional Dominican style food for most every meal including rice, beans and potatoes with accompanying salads and meat options. Breakfast never had bacon but included an island sausage offering instead. Fresh fruit was always fantastic and available with all meals. No evening events, music or excursion counter at this resort. The new owner is actively making some renovations to the property and committed to making this resort the best. Location is this resorts shining star close to many restaurants, shopping, bars, ice cream, markets, massage studios, and other beaches within an easy 5-12 minute walk. The area has a police presence and tourist protection I felt safe with my family to explore the area without concern for any safety concerns. This is a smaller quiet resort with a quaint and comfortable feel, some buildings within the resort offered no elevator and the ones that did were out of service so if you are older or are disabled you may want to request 1st floor.

"Very good!"

"Poor treatment by the staff. Air conditioning and electricity weren’t working in the room, the bartender was terrible and my family and I were ignored by them many times. This is the first time I have an experience like that "

"I recently stayed at the Viva Wyndham all-inclusive hotel and had a mixed but overall decent experience. Starting with the positives, the room was very clean and well-maintained throughout my stay, which made a great first impression. The air conditioning worked exceptionally well—definitely a big plus, especially in the warmer climate. The staff truly stood out; everyone I interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help, which added a lot to the overall experience. The hotel also has two bars that were both enjoyable, offering a good atmosphere and solid drink options. However, there are several areas that need improvement. The food was probably the biggest disappointment. While there was variety, it lacked authenticity and flavor. Introducing more authentic and diverse food options would significantly enhance the dining experience. Another issue was the entertainment setup. The entertainment area is not enclosed, and the noise carries late into the night, making it difficult for guests to get proper rest. Enclosing this space or better managing sound levels would make a big difference. The beach is inconveniently located about a 3–5 minute walk from the hotel, which a little bit farther than expected, and the resort itself seems understaffed. Because of this, not all restaurants are open daily—typically one is closed, while the others are often fully booked, making it frustrating to plan for dinner. In summary, while the hotel has some strong points—particularly "
