I love DR! And I love this resort! It was beautiful. Lots of flowers and foliage, flamingo's and iguana's walking around, great beach, nice pool and beautiful grounds. I liked how there was a variety of places to eat. The buffet was great for breakfast and lunch. And the two restaurants we ate at were great as well. Need reservations... more

My family and I decided to take our Summer vacation in the Dominican for the first time. We read mixed reviews ahead of time mainly about how the Americans were treated but decided to give it a try. The rates were very reasonable. The first 2 days we thought we were in paradise. The beach is the prettiest I've seen.... more

We travel often to all-inclusive resorts and have been over 10 times to resorts in Mexico, Costa Rica and now Dominican. We've experienced a lot of things along the way, remembering that we're on vacation and we're there to have a good time. We make it a point to take a good dose of patience. However, no amount of patience... more

I've stayed at this resort 14 times (11 with the family, 2 times with the wife & once on my own) and never get tired of it. You can research resort amenities on your own, so I'll just include pointers. Pros... -No other resort on the Island comes close for partying -Night life & Entertainment. -Only the beach at Cayo... more

I traveled with 2 other friends and we were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the resort but more than anything the great time we had with the entertainment staff. If you're willing to enjoy your vacation, they go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure you're having a great time. We would wonder at times where... more

We just got back from a week-long stay at the Viva Dominicus Palace and are confused about what we paid for. We are kind understanding people who work in the service industry and are very forgiving when it comes to customer service issues...but we found ourselves making excuses for the hotel all week. 1. The service. Not terrible, but definitely... more

This place is the biggest dissapointment among all vacations I've taken. Very far from the airport; do not go unless you plan to be drunk the whole time, then none will matter. This is not a relaxing place. We have requested a king bed and they put us in 2 beds in a room where the windows don't shut. The... more

I was concerned about this trip after reading some of the reviews, but I have to say that my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time! In some cases I should have paid more attention to the smaller problems mentioned than the large ones some of the reviewers were obsessed with. In general, the seven days we spent there was... more

I agree with many of the other reviews. Caters to Italians and French who totally ignore you if you're American. The food was adequate for an all inclusive. They won't let you take anything out. We always enjoy taking dessert for later. No coffee pot in room and no way to enjoy coffee in the morning just relaxing. Have to... more
