Chambres propres, buffet correct mais une ambiance affreuse. Des tonnes d'enfants qui emplissent la (trop petite) piscine, s'approprient toute la nourriture du snack bar sur la plage et qui courent dans la discothèque le soir. Animation d'amateurs.

The animation crew are amazing. Not only are they talented dancers/entertainers, they are very friendly people. I will definitely come back. The only drawback at the hotel is that they do not have enough english speaking hosts at the front desk.

 Not too happy

First I would like to say that when I purchased this trip through your company that you had it advertised as a 4*. When it is really a 3*. That I wasn't too happy about.

 As expected

The hotel rooms were below expectation.
The linen were old and seemed dirty. They offered recycled towels that were also very old. The only positive was that the rooms were spacious.
Restaurant Bambo that offfered a la carte supper was poor, there was a mouse runnning around in the restaurant that was a major turn off.

 VIVA WYNDHAM RESORTS

...This time I had a bad experience!...
On Sunday April 4,2010,between 9:00 and 11:00AM,someone entered my room(#3210)&
attempted to open my suitcase...
Unfortunately(for them)they forgot the key on my suitcase...
I reported it to the Hotel Manager and he promised me to investigate and come back to me...but he NEVER did.
I don't know if I would go there again,
but if I do,I will be very careful to not leave any money in the suitcase...

 Weather was good!

It was a very inexpensive trip, so I guess you get what you pay for. There were alot of problems with the power all week, we ended up changing rooms to another building half way through the week. To compensate us for the power problems, they allowed us to have a later check out the day we left at no charge, only after suggesting to them this would be the right thing to do. The food was edible (some of it anyway), but we ate alot of the same things everyday (pasta, fries, pizza). The variety of food was not great. Also, they allow vendors and their own staff constantly want to promote the other hotels in their chain. We expected to face the constant stream of vendors on the beach, but not around the pool and in the hotel lobby. We would not book this hotel again, would rather pay a little more and raise the quality of our stay.

 Aopril 2010

The hotel was on par with most the other Playa Dorada hotels. The room was large but had little furniture (no chairs or table), basically just a bed. The beach isn't as far as some reports indicated and you didn't have to leave to property to get to ir. It was also one of the fewin PD that you could swim a fair distance in. The food was very basic with very little variety. The pool is small and the tile are coming off from the bottom. It is in need of repair but was clean and good to cool off in. It has a water falls but was only turned on once or twice and then only for a hour or two. The bar area is small ands behind the waterfall. I booked this hotel as it was an easy walk to the golf course and it was. Overall I enjoyed my stay and will definiately stay there again, but it is basically because of it's proximity to the course. If it was for that, I would probably wouldn't go back.

 2 Visits in 3 Months

This was our second time at this resort in 3 months. We were there in January with our kids, and as a couple in March. Each time we have enjoyed all the resort has to offer. Rooms are large, beach is clean,and staff are very helpful.

 Viva whindham/puerto plata

le service était pourrie surtout au buffet. Les employés de table ne voyaient pas qu'on avait pas de serviettes ou qu'il nous manquait des ustensiles. J'ai même brassé mon café avec mon couteau par 3 fois et ils me voyaient faire et je n'ai jamais eu de cuillere. Les tables a la piscine
étaient inexistentes, on devait déposer nos verres parterre et ils se renversaient et ce n'était pas nettoyé et on pilotait dans du jus, de la bière ou autre chose. A tous les matins je devais demandé les débarbouillettes sinon je ne les avaient pas. Je ne sais pas ce qui ce
passe en République mais les klenex
ne sont pas disponibles, ni à l'hotel,ni dans les magasins, on m'a
suggéré d'apporter un rouleau de papier de toilette avec moi. Même pour le coût du voyage je m'attendais à plus.Je pourrais en dire plus mais
je préfère terminé.

The staff were excellent, food was very good and the facility also was very good. Staff more then went above and beyond their duties and were friendly and very accommodating.

 Déjà vu mieux

chambre supéreure confortable sauf si il pleut (eau coule du toit)

bouffe très moyenne les 5 premiers jours
un seul bar à l'hotel
une seule piscine
service de réparation quasi nul
personnel courtois
que 2 restos à la carte si tu paies un pourboire tu te faufiles 2 ou 3 fois
à éviter en décembre parce que il vienne de réouvrir il font ça à tout les 6 mois pour réparation

 Great Deal

This hotel is ideal for either couples or families looking to enjoy the beautiful beach in a tropical setting. Clean rooms and grounds, friendly staff, and great food make this resort a logical choice in your search for a vacation spot.

 You Get What You Pay For!

A nice, inexpensive vacation. The staff were awesome, great animation team that produced excellent shows. Beach area is very nice. Pool was nice but could use a few repairs. A wide variety of food and drink, so there was something for everyone. The rooms all smelled musty for duration of the stay - tried leaving doors open, air conditioning, spray...nothing seemed to help. There was a one beach towel limit per person per week which is simply unacceptable. Fresh towels should be available every day, so make sure you bring your own if you plan on visiting!
