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

I'm a Flight Attendant for US based airlines. I've been to many resorts and done a share of traveling. Got this deal for 39.00 pp per day AI through www.cheapcarribean.com. I was very happy with the deal and would have been a little disappointed if I had paid more like couple next to us at the pool that paid 111.00... 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

We found the staff at the check in desk rather unwelcoming and had to wait for nearly an hour until someone helped us. We never received the “welcome cocktail” mentioned in the website. We finally got to our bungalow room (sure didn’t constitute as a “superior room”) in the late afternoon, and found the room to be quite different from... more

We recently spent ten days at this all-inclusive. We went for two reasons: a killer deal ($2300 total for two adults with air from L.A.), and our desire to stay on a Dominican beach. We were apprehensive about the weather, dreading the high humidity and potential for a hurricane. To our surprise neither was a problem. If we could replicate... more

I was so happy when we finally made it to Bayahibe. We finally got checked in, which was difficult considering we kept be interrupted by other guests of the hotel that gad no manners. When we saw the outside of our room we were so happy, because we were beach front only to find that our room had a terrible... more

I've been living in the DR for almost 5 years now, and been in several resort all over the country. This is, by far, the worst of all. #1 in my list is the complete "unintelligence" of the staff (names are William, Lenis, Antony), who made our visit the most unpleasant one. - staff is arrogant, lazy, self-oriented instead of... more

In the last 10 years, I have vacationed in the Dominican Republic 8 times and stayed at 6 resorts. I've been to Viva in March 2005 and March 2006. The price is cheap, maybe because this place is catering to unemployed young Italians. By far the worst service. Never seen anything like that before, never seen anything like that since.... more
