In short, this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Now for the long version. I travel abroad quite a bit and love learning about new cultures and immersing myself in new expereinces. I usually travel alone and stay in places that are interesting and choose affordable over luxury. I was nervous about this trip to an all-inclusive... more

My husband and I chose this resort through Cheap Caribbean to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary. We had never been to Dominican Republic and were really looking forward to a laid back Caribbean vacation. The total opposite of what we received. The resort is an hour and a half van ride from the Santo Domingo airport. We had prepaid for... more

We are a couple in our mid-50 and we stayed at the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach in Bayahibe from Nov. 30 to Dec. 7. My feedback is based on the hotel classification which does not claim to be a 5 star which we knew when we booked this hotel. We knew what we were paying for and we got a... more

Viva Beach resort has the most beautiful beach I've ever been to--white sand and a reef for snorkelling right next to the beach, with plenty of both shady and sunny spots.

What you get is sunshine, awesome price value and a roof over your head. It... more

First impression was dissapointing, the front desk was unwelcoming, construction and chaos and did not recieve a welcome drink, in fact I only saw the welcome drinks being passed at about 3pm. My second impression was our room which was "basic" to be generous. The AC was loud and the smell was musky at times. There was a little mold... more

A very big resort with all confort. Wonderfull breakfast and evening shows. One of the best beach I ever seen !!!!! more

Lovely beachfront hotel. Staff mostly very helpful and most speak enough English to help out though patience can be required! Free watersports (sailing, kayaking, windsurfing) from the beach which was very good. This is an all inclusive hotel so all food and drink free. Some nice cocktails to be sampled but don't expect great things from the wine! The buffet... more
