We had our third visit in December. We cannot get enough. From our arrival at the airport, bus ride and arrival at the hotel absolutely fantastic. Service is flawless, hotel is everything you could ask for, buffet always delicious with so many choices. Staff is so accommodating, and very friendly. The grounds are meticulous, the beach is wonderful. Always clean, no vendors and able to take long walks in both directions. There is always something to do if you wish. Or just relax by the pool or on the beach. Entertainment in the evening is awesome. Something for everyone. We are returning again in February, (our fourth visit)the countdown is on. We are already planning our next visit for December. No need to experiment with new places, when Viva has everything we could need. It’s like our second home.

My husband and I both had food poisoning at the a la carte restaurants...Fusion and Sea Food. They need to take the Gordon Ramsey's Safe Food handling course 101. It was very clear that this was not a flu bug, it was food poisoning. Needless to say, we did not go to our third a la carte restaurant. Stuck with the buffet and avoided all sea food. The resort knew we were ill and really did not care. The buffet food was very good. Rooms were nice and clean. Not likely to go back to the Viva V in Samana.

We enjoyed a wonderful & relaxing week at the beautiful Viva V Samana resort. The adults only beachfront resort exudes a friendly and cheerful vibe with great amenities and a spectacular beach! . We booked a ground level Vibe Suite with a small plunge pool on a sizeable and private patio and loved it. The room was comfortable, clean and more than met our needs. We found the food choices to be varied, tasty and fresh and the service to be excellent. The daily yoga was a great way to start the day and the evening activities were varied and fun. Guests can find wha they are looking for; want a quiet beach day- or a lively one- the resort caters to both! There were guests from Europe, Canada and South America during our stay which made the week even more fun- we definitely will be back!

My partner and I love this resort so much that we are headed there for the 4th time in a couple weeks with our friends (that we actually met at Viva V Samana By Wyndham in 2023!) This resort ticks all the boxes that we are looking for in a resort - all adults so its nice and quiet, not too far from the airport, (the 1/2 hour drive from the airport is so scenic!), beautiful beach where you can walk for several kilometres in both directions, very clean room and facilities, great food and most of all, exceptional service. Edwin at Guest Services and his team provide fantastic customer service. Edwin was instrumental in accommodating the requests of ourselves and our friends (who are going back for the 3rd time). Edwin and his team have gone out of their way with their exemplary customer service and it is truly appreciated. We also love the special touches given for our birthday celebrations (two of our group celebrate birthdays during this time) - the fruit basket and bottle of sparkling wine were lovely. The staff is all phenomenal and too many to mention so I apologize for not including everyone (Sammy at the beach bar remembers us every year we arrive and Carlos in food service were both there when we first came in January 2020, and Patrizia at the front desk, are names that come to mind). Since we have had such enjoyable vacations at this resort, we now have another couple from Canada who will be joining us at the end of this month for their first time, so our group is expanding. Looking forward to seeing Edwin and our Dominican friends soon for another wonderful week at Viva V Samana By Wyndham!

My wife and I recently stayed here and had an amazing experience! The beach, the accommodation, and especially the animation team (from different nationalities) were absolutely wonderful - their energy and enthusiasm made our stay truly unforgettable.
