I stayed with my mom and sister for 1 week at this hotel. Weather was amazing, breezy but not cold. No humidity at all. Travelling by skyservice - trip there was uneventful and service was decent. Arrived at hotel and was provided with drinks while checking in. Hotel room was large for 3 of us with 2 queen sized beds... more

This was a very reasonably priced family vacation. We found the process at the airport very fast and easy. Taxis are definately the way to go, but be prepared to tip and tip and tip! We arrived at the hotel and very plesantly surprised to be greeted with a non alcoholic fruit punch drink-very refreshing. Two bellman took our bags... more

We (2 adults and 1 young child) stayed at the Viva Wyndham Playa Dorada from June 14-21, 2008. What can I say. We booked a very reasonable all-inclusive vacation package through West Jet.

Me and my boyfriend travelled to the Dominican Republic with mixed views. We decided to stay in the viva wydnham hotel in the playa dorada resort. When we reached the hotel we were a bit worried when only us and 2 other people got off at the hotel, giving us the impression that it wasn't very good. We were welcomed... more

One night a couple of drunks started banging on my kids door and scared them to death.I asked them to leave but they refused and became violent and one of them hit me. I yelled for security but the guard just stared at me from the balcony. I called my husband on our two way radio and he cornered one... more

First of all apologies this review is a little late....I stayed here in the summer...but some of the negative reviews have prompted me to write an honest review!

However, viva... more
