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! I think the first thing to note is that people do not realise how poor/economically deprived the dominican republic is....therefore the acomodation/food is NEVER going to exactly parallel British/American standards. However, viva... more

I stayed at the Wyndham Viva Playa Dorada property from April 22 through April 29. I have a good experiences vacationing at other Wyndham properties and expected to be pleased. I was NOT! I travelled with my husband and two young children. We have travelled to other localities and look forward to enjoying a good and relaxing family vacation! Unfortuanately,... more

I stayed at this hotel between April 19-25. A co-worker and I flew into Santiago since the airfare was so much cheaper and took a very well priced van from the airport to the hotel. The trip was about an hour and a half, but we got to see the beautiful country and also, the horrible living conditions for the... more

The rooms were very clean, sheets and blankets were changed daily, had extra pillows, plenty of towels and face cloths, soap, shampoo and body wash. The mini fridge was stocked every day, the a/c... more

I traveled with my parents to the Viva Wyndham Playa Dorada in mid April.

The sand is soft and clean... more

Booked a last minute trip to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic through Signature Vacations. $2725.50 for 2 people - 2 weeks all-inclusive at the Viva Wyndham Playa Dorada. It rained like mad the day we got there and didn't rain again until we got into the airport going home. We had two weeks of wonderful weather. We stayed in the Junior... more

I just stayed at the Wyndham for one night and I couldn't have gotten out of there sooner. I would definitely not recommend staying here. (Unless this is the best of the hotels in Puerto Plata - I admit I have nothing in PP to compare it to.) The hotel is very run down; the front desk staff was not... more

Not sure where reviewer sexydominican stayed but should maybe stick to 5* plus?????? We stayed at Viva Wyndham Mar 31-Apr 5 and loved it. Traveled with my husband, my sister, and her husband (age range 39-44). Being rated a 3 ½ star we were surprisingly pleased. Check In/Rooms: Check in was quick; we were early so our room wasn't ready... more
