Michael W (Calgary, Canada) on Dec 11, 2025
Location: far from everything Rooms: Very poor condition, we were in 2 different rooms, the ceiling leaked in both. Reported the problem, moved us the first time and did nothing the second. Lots of construction going on, banging on the walls and the floor above starting around 8am everyday. Great for workers not great for having a sleep in while on holiday. Noise: Aside from the constant banging there is a lot of shouting by workers and guests. The music at the "disco" is quite loud and goes on until the early hours of the morning. Staff: Seem generally unhappy, not all but most. Pool: Pool is nice with a lot of chairs. Beach: Beach is on the small side and covered in smelly seaweed. The he seaweed was not removed from the beach which means having to walk in it, unpleasant smells and a lot of biting bugs. Food: Nothing stands out, overall the food is very very average. Drinks: Are okay bring your own cup, the provided glasses are quite small. Overall Value: The value is not good. Spend a little more and stay someplace else.
48th Wedding Anniversary Experience
Warpco (Nanticoke, Pennsylvania) on Dec 11, 2025
We returned to Vik Arena Blanca again this year for a totally relaxing 48th Wedding Anniversary, Oct 14th through 22nd, 2025. Our best friends joined us this year and they were so glad for the experience. Our friends are still active with their business and do not get many opportunities to take a week off to relax and recharge, but the Vik provided just that. The size of this resort is ideal for us due to mobility issues. This was our 3rd consecutive visit and we already booked our 49th Anniversary for October 2026. We enjoyed delicious meals daily with the buffet offering a great variety and all cuisines. The snack area serves great pizza, burgers, chicken and fries. We like various sprinkle seasonings on our pizza and plan to pack them next time. We especially enjoyed the new Mexican Restaurant that serves all your great specialties. Our friends found the buffet breakfast awesome. The fresh eggs and omelets were superb along with a vast other selections. We really do not know what else they can offer because they think of everything. The only minor Specialty Restaurant complaint I have was the steak with chimichurri was a little tough, which was better on prior visits. The domestic beers and mixed drinks were adequate for us. The renovated pool areas are beautiful and the constant maintenance and improvements were apparent. We thank the management and staff for a great vacation memory and look forward to returning with our friends in Oct 2026. The Vik offers an excellent affordable and relaxing vacation experience.
