Description

Viva Dominicus Palace by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive is a 3-star resort built in 1999 and renovated in 2014, offering 660 rooms across 14 cottages on a 25,000 m² property. Guests can choose from various room types including Superior Quadruple and Double rooms with garden or seafront views, plus accessible options. The hotel is family-friendly, featuring extensive kids’ facilities such as a kids’ club for ages 4-16, pool games, talent shows, and sandcastle building. Entertainment is lively with daily themed dinners, dance lessons, and water sports like windsurfing and diving (some activities are paid). The property includes eight restaurants, a pizzeria, and a souvenir shop. While the resort offers a large sandy beach with free loungers and umbrellas, reviews highlight mixed experiences with food quality and service, though many guests praise the clean rooms and friendly staff.

Location

Located in Bayahibe on Playa Dominicus, Viva Dominicus Palace sits 150 meters from Playa La Laguna beach, providing direct access to a 900-meter public sandy shoreline. The resort is 23 km from La Romana city and just 10 km from Casa de Campo International Airport (LRM). Nearby dining options include La Roca restaurant 10 meters away and Da Elio and L' Ombelico Del Mundo restaurants within 150 meters, both rated 8/10. The hotel’s seaside location offers calm bay waters ideal for water activities, while the resort itself includes a trading center, currency exchange, and car rental services on-site.

Tips

The hotel really needs to be remodeled ..everything is very out dated and food in the buffet was not good at all. Has the oriental restaurant and the Italian and thank god we could at least eat that. The options for breakfast were not good at all.

From the first day, our experience at this hotel was negative, with multiple deficiencies that severely affected our stay:

Room in terrible condition: upon arrival, there were mosquitoes, the air conditioning was not working, the smell of tobacco was unbearable, the Wi-Fi signal did not reach the room, and right outside our door there was an ashtray with trash, cigarette butts, and used glasses that remained there for more than a day.
Poor food quality throughout the entire stay.
Lack of effective response: despite several complaints made both at the front desk and to the guest service manager, we were only moved to another room the next day. It was slightly better, but the problems continued.
Hotel facilities in deplorable condition:
Dirty tables in the beach area.
Unclean public restrooms.
Unprofessional staff.
Neglected lobby with stained seats and a strong smell of cigarette smoke.

I have photographs supporting each of the points mentioned above.
In conclusion, the overall experience was extremely unpleasant and far below what was promised. I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel.

room was not ready when we arrived. could not get new towels until noon everyday.

Out dated. Food poor to average. Pools are nice. Pool towel system needs to be changed. Lack of drink one is able to bring back to room is very lacking if non existent.

The worst expirience, my wife get food poisoning, I order scramble eggs and it came with a hair inside. Most of the people sound eveything except get you what you need.
Never go back there.

Hello everyone! I am currently staying at this hotel. The hotel exceeded all my expectations. We were given a clean good room, the furniture is new, the plumbing works well, the air conditioner also works well, but it is very noisy. Very good food in the restaurant. Special thanks to the hotel staff: everyone is very polite and kind, the cleaning is good. The sea is without seaweed. There are many sun loungers on the beach, no problem finding a place. I would like to come here again

Viva Palace is beside Viva Beach hotel so that you can walk the charming treed walkway between the two properties. Both sites have nightly entertainment - singers, dancing and theatre from 8 to midnight with s disco after hours. International clientele and lots of young families. All sorts of shaded and sunny beach sites. Finally beach is located in a calm bay so lots of ppl in the water all day long.

The property was gorgeous and lots to do and animations for the kids. We all had a great time.
The Santa coming on a boat to the resort and handing gifts to every single children was a nice touch.
Friendly staff and all multilingual. Not pushy like other timeshare resorts.

It was a Perfect vacation, the staff was incredible nice. ☺️
Cardi B is the best. The entertainment was always on point. The restaurant had a lot of
different choices and was always good.
The rooms were clean and the bed was good.

In the beginning of October I had my wedding in viva wyndham dominicus palace. It turned out to be magical and breathe taking. Osmeiry was our wedding coordinator and she went above and beyond to make sure everything I wanted became reality. She helped with a welcome dinner, the ceremony on the beach and the actual reception in the Atlantis (which had a breathtaking view of the ocean and sunset). Alice helped with anything I need as well when it came to rooms and small stuff like getting me power back when I blew the fuse in my room during hair and make up lol. Macarena was an amazing officiant for the ceremony performing it in both English and Spanish which was just what we needed. The hotel was fun and lively for our 87 guests. We stayed at the palace but often found ourselves going to the beach side for the night life. I have been to this hotel multiple times in the past and this is why I decided to have my wedding here. The palace hotel or the beach hotel will meet all your expectations! The wedding was exactly what I wanted and the resorts themselves will always have something for you to do and enjoy of during the day. Don't hesitate to go and explore!
