The food was not the best. There was no hot water for showers. But the entertainment crew was great. Especially Samir!

We first time in Samana Viva and enjoyed every day of our stay. Food choices grandiose. We meet from the first day Leandro Mendez he was our private councillor for any issue and questions we had. All staff of the hotel nice and friendly. I noticed cleanliness of toilets and cleaners attending all the time big thanks to them. Buffer staff amazing and hard working just need some basic English for communication Grateful thanks for the core kitchen's staff pizza guys amazing it was the best pizza. Thanks to all maintenance team keeping neat and clean around hotel. Entertainment team are hardworking young guys with a lot ideas and programs just if they include music for older people and take to consideration multicultural contingent, like some German French English music would be ?? Big thanks for all the staff of the hotel its team work. Definitely we will be back Maira and Tomas

We stayed for 2 weeks, it was very good experience. From very helpful and knowledgeable staff to amazing location. We were very satisfied with our bungalow, food choices and quality, serving staff. Entertainment team is amazing and especially: Michael, Rafael, Ariel. They created amazing vibe and got guest engaged in activities. Locations is very nice, nature and beach. Highlight of hospitality and friendliness for us was Leandra Mendez he was very helpful and always ready to assist, answer questions and guide us with activities by directing us to proper peaple. We would like to call him our extended family in Samana. We will be returning for sure. Thanks to all the staff, management for making our stay memorable. Best regards from Maira and Tom, we stayed in 4108.

My husband and I stayed at the Viva V Samana for 3 days. We liked the atmosphere of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The music and entertainment were very good. The beach was wonderful ,clear ,warm water with shaded areas under palms. We stayed in a bungalow which was nice and quiet, however I think it needed some more decoration and didn't like the sofa seating area. The food wasn't very good.

Great location, beautiful gardens, good food, wonderful beach. Perfect for a couple vacation. The only 2 inconvénients: The first one- during our stay the theater was under renovations, all the shows were held in the lobby. The noise would be heard from our room (bungalo) and would bother our sleep. We were there for rest and sleep, we are working hard and a lot during the year!). The second inconvenient was that during the night there were electricity blackouts, but the power would come back instantly. This would not be a problem if the AC would turn off and would NOT turn on automatically. We were waking up because of the night temperature in the room and had to get out of bed and reprogram the AC (the buttons are on the wall). These situation would happen a few times per night. Therefore, during our stay we didn't get much sleep and were always tired in the mornings...
