Active Advisories
The VIK Hotel Arena Blanca Resort has advised, beginning May 26, 2025, and lasting for approximately 3 months, renovations to the second pool basin and the children's pool. For safety, the area of renovations will be secured by a black mesh screen. The resort has advised, in the early stages of this renovation project, there will be some noise from the use of drills during the daytime hours, 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
For the duration of this renovation period, the first pool basin will remain fully accessible and operational; however, there will not be a dedicated children’s pool area.
The hotel will continue with undergoing refurbishment work to the guestrooms and reception area for the summer of 2025.
Although some noise may be heard, all efforts will be made to minimize impact to guests during this time.
Overview
VIK hotel Arena Blanca and VIK hotel Cayena Beach are two distinctive resorts in one, perfectly situated on white-sand Bavaro Beach. Stroll in the tropical gardens, head to the beach, relax by the pool or join in one of the daily activity programs.

Worst place ever. Avoid. NOT ALL INCLUSIVE
islandgirl525 (Little Falls, Minnesota) on Jul 02, 2025
Not all inclusive. Horrible place. Had things stolen out of the room & no one is taking responsibility & no one is replacing the items. Staff is rude, they try to get tips from you all day, even if they stand & wait 30min. Professional scammers.
Shamed by staff member for wanting a beer at 11 am
vonfilion (Montreal, Canada) on Jun 20, 2025
On the second day of my stay, I felt like having a cold beer even if it was only 11 AM. The restaurant (El mirador) was open I went straight to the self service beer tap. Unfortunately, only foam was coming out of it. As I was returning my empty glass on the counter (without showing any sign if discontent), an older member of the staff came to me and said that alcoholic beverages were only available after 12, looking at me from head to toe with a disgusted look on his face, Then he turned and made a judgmental comment out loud about ne trying to get a beer that early in the day. The last thing you want while vacationing in an all inclusive resort is to be shamed or ridiculed Funny thing, I am a moderate drinker and just felt like indulging for a change. Being judged so openly really made me feel like crap.. Other staff members were nice - but one nasty man is all it takes to sabotage your experience.
