  Not Luxury But a Great Getaway If You Have Realistic Expectations

  If you go with realistic expectations, having read the reviews (mine and others) of the pros and cons, you will have a great time. It is not a luxury resort but it is clean, well-staffed and the food was adequate. Going when it is low season and the cost was lower made it a very enjoyable experience. Pros - Great beach to walk on, safe and easy access to restaurants and shops in the town. Food was not gourmet but was plentiful, great fresh bread and there was always something enjoyable. Only managed to get into the Mexican Restaurant a la carte and it was great. Cleanliness - all common areas were very well looked after, gardens are beautiful. Cappucinos and drinks at the bar were well-made. Tipping isn't expected and doesn't seem to matter in terms of service. Very energetic animation team who go out of their way to include the young people. Cons- The many vendors on the beach who just keep at you all the time. The staff was not overly friendly even when you were polite and accomodating. We had a lot of rain and it would have been great to have some activities suitable for everyone when we had to take cover. The room - very sparse, wear and tear and no hot water even after they said it was fixed.

  Great Stay

  All the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Patricia at the buffet. She always greeted us as we came in and willing to assist in any way. The housekeeping staff were also very good. They cleaned our room every morning, fixed the bed, gave us fresh towels, and replenished our fridge daily. The bar staff also went above and beyond. I brought to their attention that the hot milk by the coffee bar was empty. Instead of just refilling it, he steamed milk for me at the bar and gave me a coffee art with the steamed milk. The Entertainment staff are also amazing. We see them from morning until night, by the pool, by the theater, etc. Their Lion King show was actually pretty good too. The restaurants were limited but food was great for whatever they had. Overall, a very relaxing and great stay.

  Viva Wyndham Tangerine april 2025

  Excellent food and very good service from: our maid Mildred who was friendly and did a great job cleaning our room. At the buffet, special thanks to Patricia, Robert, Nehemia and Mariano for their pleasant attitude despite all the people around. In general, during the day, the pool area is busy and noisy, especially during Easter holiday with all the locals. But if you drag your beach chair far enough on the beach, you will find some peace. Lots of kite surfing lessons near by and honestly, they are too close to bathers and sunbathers for safety. They should really move to the ouest of the bay. Kite lines are dangerous. And if a kite lands on you, it could lead to serious injury.

  Viva Cabarete

  I have spent 10 days at the resort. There were some pros and cons. The buffet staff was awesome. Mariano was amazing and was happy and attentive. I found the food enjoyable and they a decent amount of variety. The snack bar was good with burgers, hotdogs, pizza with some vegetables. They would have different themes for lunch by the pool they did a really good job with. My room was great with a king sized bed, large tv and no problems with AC. The beach had kite surfers which were fun to watch. Sometimes the rip tides could be rough but enjoyed swimming in the waves. I found the vendors on the beach were eager to sell excursions, braiding hair or selling other items. Some were ok when you said no and some would keep bugging you over and over again. That was a little bit of an annoyance when your trying to relax on the beach. I had one of the guys from the Viva club ask why I didn't want to join the club after I told him 3 times I was not interested. That was a turn off. I find this hotel has alot good potential to be better. It was a nice hotel but I think I will continue to explore other resorts in Dominican Republic.
