Have to say that we were looking for a small hotel and that is what we got. My overall experience was above average. I would even say that I was very happy with the getaway, but there were some "buts" as always... 1. If there is rain during the day you will have absolutely nothing to do and nowhere to... more

Well, what can I say! I think just about every opinion from both ends of the spectrum have been added to the great Viva debate. Regardless, here is my ham fisted slew on it! Well I think that the first thing which requires addressing is the quality of the hotel. I have seen a great many people berating Viva, almost... more

All I have to say is "Fabulous" We arrived in Playa Dorada on October 3rd and were staying at the Celuisma Tropical. (DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL) We switched hotels on the monday of our two week holiday. It is absolutely breathtaking. The pool with the waterfall will leave you breathless. The guest service staff - Zoraida and Karina... more

We stayed at the Viva Wyndham from the 23rd September 2008 for two weeks. Having read mixed reviews we were unsure what to expect. We arrived at the hotel and were offered a welcome cocktail to start our holiday. We were also given a pleasant welcome from the front desk, who got a porter to take us to our room... more

We stayed at the Viva Wyndham from August 18-25. When we arrived, our room was not ready. We didn't complain because they did state that check in was not until 3. They took our bags, and we were able to get our wristbands, have lunch and a cocktail. So far.....not too bad. THE BEACH The beach was beautiful! There were... more

So I've just come back from a 2 week stay at the viva and what can i say. it's not the worst holiday i've been on but it wasn't the best either. I booked my room through A1 travel which meant i got it a bit cheaper and this was reflected in the room as was allocated on arrival, even... more

I just returned from a stay at this hotel and it was a nightmare. We had to wait over 45 minutes after check in to get the keys to the room and only because I spoke up otherwise we would have had to wait for hours as later on I found out that there were guests who had to walk... more

My girls (aged 15 and 11) and I stayed at this resort and had a wonderful time! The one disappointment was having to wait 5 hours for our room but they did upgrade us to a suite for our trouble. What I don't understand is why they don't have rooms ready and waiting when they know a group will be... more
