We stayed at Viva Bahia in August 2008 (2 adults, 3 kids under 8). Pool complex is very good with a relaxed atmosphere - doesn’t feel crowded or noisy. Main pool area is 1.6m deep, with a 0.6m section for the younger ones, also a separate toddler pool. New Pirate Ship splash pool is a big plus – our kids... more

We just returned from a 9 day stay at the Viva Bahia and, as a whole, we were very pleased with our choice. I will quickly touch on some of the pros: The reception staff were some of the most accomodating we have encountered in Europe. Also, the 2 bedroom unit we stayed in, contained 2 large rooms (each with... more

We just returned from the Viva Bahia and it's one of the best run properties we've experienced. We were there in May of 2008 and had horrible weather (no fault of the property!). It was off-season, more or less, so we didn't experience issues regarding crowding that others did. We are a family of four, with two kids ages 7... more

FANTASTIC !! Apartments and complex is absolutely brilliant! Very clean, lovely grounds and right next to the beach. Lots for the kids of all ages to do during the day (rep hoopla, giant darts, volleyball etc) and the evening entertainment is superb and enjoyed by all. Do go for the meals on the theme nights they are well worth it.... more

They even have their own super-hero 'Bufo' who causes great excitement when he makes an appearance. Warning- at the mini-disco they sing and dance along to the same... more

The overall experience was really great, the two bedroom apartments were massive !!!! with 3 seperate balconies. The complex was extremly clean and well looked after and the staff were very helpful. The entertainment in the evening was wonderful with a different show for the kids every evening (Lion King etc) then a kids mini disco and then the adults... more

Stayed one week with my family, five people all together. We had an apartment with 2 bedrooms and the apartment was huge. One very big bedroom, one a little bit smaller, a large living room/kitchen and a big bathroom. There were also two big balconies and three large closets! Breakfast- and dinnerbuffet was as expected, not very good but good.... more

Lots of things to do for young children. The mini club is open most of the day and there's entertainment for the eve for little ones.... more

My wife, 3 year old son and I have just returned from our 2 week stay at this superb establishment. We first stayed here for 2 weeks at the end of August 2005 and enjoyed it so much we decided we would return at some time in the future. The rooms are large and comprise a living room with TV... more
