I travelled in Feb 2009 to Viva Whyndam, in the DR and it was amazing! We travelled with Sky Service, and went from Feb 11-18th 2009. It wasn't that far from the airport so no complaints but the one complaint that I do have is that all the hotels are grouped together in the middle of nowhere!! Beautiful beach, 1... more

Ok not a 5 services here but we didn't expect more than we had, but not less either. It was nice and clean all over and the food was quite good but inevitably redundant. Bringing a baby was easy and all the staff guys were charming. This trip was inexpensive and very last minute planned. Everything went well but we... more

Just got back from this nightmare place. The hotel is so outdated it needs to be knocked down completely and rebuilt! When we arrived, they couldn't find our reservation. That should of been our first clue to get out! The room they gave us smelled really muggy- we asked for a room change immediately! The second room "smelled" better but... more

I personally enjoyed Wyndham, the entire staff was amazing with all the customers. They made us feel right at home, we never felt like we were in any potential danger. Only downfall was that there was only one good night club to go to every night, and it mainly played hip hop and rap, we were expecting more spanish music... more

This place makes Butlins look like Sandy Lane! The rooms are dated, dark and damp, some smelt of drains and non of our parties patio doors locked. The buffet restaurant is more like a staff canteen serving the same food day in and day out. The pool bar which incidently doubles as the bar where eveyone meets in the evening... more

Hotel was substandard ... Staff not friendly nor sympathetic to problems. Hotel is way too far from the beach to be considered a beachfront. If you are disabled, good luck in seeing any entertainment as it is on the 2nd floor 90% of the time. Food was the same thing heated over day after day. Older omelette server was ignorant.... more

We booked a activity and the director never told the tour guide and so they never came to pick us up. We went through six key cards because none of them would open the door and they door wouldn't lock. We were placed right next to the bar and loud obnoxious music played all through the night, preventing us from... more

This hotel is definitely geared towards the 'locals'. When they descended mob handed at weekends everything was done for their benefit, the English were not considered at all. They got extra outside bars, handed drinks as they entered the dining room. They were still swimming in the pool at 7-7.30 in the evenings, when it was just the rest of... more
