Viva Dominicus Beach by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive

I’ve been to many all inclusives and this one was very different in many negative ways. Here’s a list of things I wish I had known prior to booking: 1. Not all restaurants are included in your all inclusive package so you have to pay if you go. 2. You’re only allowed 3 dinner reservations in the restaurants per 7 day stay. Otherwise the buffets are your only dinner options. 3. The included alcohol and food is mediocre at best and this is coming from someone who isn’t a picky eater. 4. You have to pay $2/day in order to use the safe in your room. 5. Pools all close at 6:00pm. 6. No swim up bar. 7. There is no service on the beach or pools for drinks and food. 8. Resort is dated and room had small ants all over. 9. Very limited number of umbrellas by the pools so shade is scarce. 10. I was made to feel like a dirty pig by one of the housekeepers because the toilet in the bathroom by the shops didn’t flush when I tried so had to leave it. As I exited the stall, the maid was there and rudely said “we flush toilets here.” I told her it doesn’t flush so she went in there and said it was because of “too much toilet paper.” The kicker is I went back a few days later and tried the flush before using it and it didn’t work again so this is an ongoing problem in that bathroom. It’s completely unacceptable for an employee to make a paying guest feel bad for the resort’s plumbing issues. Will not be coming back to this resort again. I stayed in Iberostar next door in the

We arrived late in the evening, desk registrations stuff were very not friendly. We weren’t given tour of the property. Door key was not working and was not locking. For 4 people we got only 2 large towels. Food choices were limited, and tables weren’t cleaned on time for new guests. Access of “all inclusive resort” was very limited to 1/3 of it. Beach is very rocky and unsafe to walk on. Restrooms on the property very dirty and almost always clothed. Not English speaking friendly, communication mainly in Spanish.

This property was good in term of ecstatic beach was good there is only one pool the main pool fill with kids there is no swim bar with pool vibe a huge language barrier if you don’t speak Spanish, French no one speaks fluent English if you’re young English speaking person an especially a person of color don’t go save your money it completely not for us it Snow on the beach on the pool I wouldn’t recommend food is trash

Stayed in a beach front bungalow near the Tiki Bar; it was perfect for a family of 4, 2 of which are teens. It was updated, clean and quiet. The resort is beautiful and very clean. The primary languages spoken were Spanish and Italian; very few people spoke English. The food was more European based, nothing fried and we found to be just mediocre although the buffet displays were beautiful. Epifanio and Juan in the information center were fantastic and very welcoming. Waddy in the water sports area was very helpful and kind in helping with kayaks and the catamaran.

RUN! Do not go to this resort. We had to have our room changed 3 times. 1st night our room smelled like sewage and it was so loud from the activities happening in the main area. 2nd room had bed bugs woke up with bites all over all 4 of us (gave us a room to check out that also had bed bugs) and "upgraded" us to another room which was a little better. Very few people that spoke English (which has never been an issue at any other resorts we have been to). The resort had a septic issue as many places smelled of sewage. Overall the food was ok. The best was the Mexican and the Viva Cafe.

I paid for a room with the king bed and view instead I got a room with two tween beds. There was no water pressure to shower and zero hot water even after complaining since the first day. Their solution was to give me the same kind of room without any view on day three. That is not what what I paid and there was zero consideration.
