Viva Tangerine by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive

The only real problems is that they have one permanent bar plus one portable setup by the pool Bar service was terribly slow at most times. Drink quantity of alcohol was terrible

Honestly, I’m grateful to travel and rarely leave a review, but this place misses on so many levels. The food is bloody awful. I had a decent meal at the a la carte restaurant, but the buffet is just shockingly bad. A large portion of the staff seemed miserable and not very helpful at all, can’t say i necessarily blame them. The stench of the septic system wafts throughout the property and the amenities are below average. The gym was beat to hell and the air stunk of septic so bad my throat was almost raw after each workout. No coffee in the rooms, and they have no to go coffee in the resort at all. I had to wait 45min past check in to get my room, and I was denied a late checkout. I broke the monotony by booking a spa service, place was beat up, smelled bad and you could the people outside as well as staff on the phone. The property itself is beat up, broken stairs and light fixtures hanging off. The wifi was garbage, constantly cutting out and making you log in multiple times throughout the day. The only bright spot was the beach itself. That said, not more than 15min would go by without a merchant being pushy to sell goods. One even woke me up from a nap. Honestly, I will never return to this resort or any other Viva property.

Older property. Traveling with kids and the TV didn’t work. Was told the cable company was coming out to fix them. Then was told it’s the TV will need to switch them out. They switched one out on the 5th day we were there. Still wasn’t working. WiFi stopped working in the room due to loud construction on the building. Manager was very rude to us about the entire situation. Seemed as if we were bothering him. He knew that we were having issues with our room from day one but didn’t step foot in our room until the 5th day after many complaints from us. The other manager from guest services offered us 2 free 30 min massages and for our kids facials. Some of the staff are very friendly and some are not. The location was very safe. The food was t the best.

Couldn’t swim in the pool because it was dirty

Viva Tangerine was smaller than advertised I feel…only one bar for the entire hotel and lines formed at the bar at times. The pool is small and seemed a bit dirty at times (with leaves and sand). Food was average; not much diversity and meat/chicken items went fast. Had to make sure to be there early to get more variety of items. The Italian restaurant was good also, although some of the seafood items tasted a bit old/defrosted. The staff was super inviting and entertaining; they really went out of their way to make you feel welcomed. Ok for a quick weekend getaway, if you’re looking something upscale, this might not be to your liking.

It’s a great resort. I love it. Everything was great except for parking they don’t have enough parking at the hotel. If you don’t get there early you probably have to park in another parking lot outside of the hotel which is part of the hotel but you have to walk in dark if is night time. Other than that was great.

Food was above average. Only one bar, always a line. This was the biggest drawback. Bring a big mug! Great Kitesurfing right at beach with excellent instructors! Walking to town on road is a hazzard. Walking on beach to restaurants is fine!

It was ok. Food is good but not variety. My biggest complaint is that there is only one bar and the line is too long because everyone goes to that bar for the drink.

Only thing I didnt like is the lack of parking space.

Check-in was fabulous, quick and friendly! The room was ok, a bit dated and limited amenities, like no coffee maker in the room. The food was ok, bread was excellent. We had 6 meals and only got offered beverages twice so the staff was a bit lacking. Others appeared to have better service. There is only one bar and smokers do not abide by the non smoking area, which is most of the bar so you are always inundated with cigarette and cigar smoke, which is unpleasant. A okay place for the price.

Hotel and beach are always spotlessly clean (wish it were that way at home). During our 9-day stay, my wife and I always ate in the large buffet restaurant because we enjoy eating. The offerings changed daily and were delicious. The staff and servers could not have been nicer and were fluent in English. We want to thank Yoni, in particular, for overseeing our complete stay. Fun shows every night with talented dancers and an incredible gymnast. There is a unique offering at this resort- beach entertainment. That being watching the kite surfers. The beach can become uncomfortable on red flag days (we had two), but the magnificent pool is there as a backup. Palm trees, instead of umbrellas, make the tropical venue complete. My only caution would be that rough waves make ocean swimming too challenging for some. We were offered a large money saving, multiple stay at many Viva resort location that we would have considered at a younger and healthier time. Don't be afraid to investigate it- there's no strongarming or hard-sell. Actually, we enjoyed our conversations with their salespersons, Brian and Oliver. Hope to return next year.

The property was wonder. Great staff. Very clean and organized. Many good options. Was a great experience. Highly recommend!

There is NO hot water in the rooms. Rooms floors are always dirty. They push you to buy a time share. Restaurants are never available and make you make reservations and never available bubut always empty. Buffet food is cold. Bar only has one person working while 5 are just standing around. Theater and night club is old and run down Buffet i

The resort was clean and safe. The food was good and well prepared. The pool was my favorite spot. The staff is great. Our stay was pleasant and relax.

I had to ask for another room because the first room had dirty shower with black mold and room was very outdated. Security was very rude. But food and the rest of staff were very pleasant. Main areas of hotel are still nice

Very clean

I didn’t like the appropriate it’s not clean!

Food was not good. Showers were leaking, and some rooms smells like mold, the disco had a very strong smell of mold as well.

I had planned a four night stay at this property however I left after my first night's experience. Very disappointing experience! No wifi connectivity in my room. I was only able to access wifi upon entering the lobby. I had no hot water throughout my stay. Faucet was blocked. Had visits from crawling insects that found their way through the space at tge foot of the door. The buffet was a feast with huge and aggressive flies.

the pool was dirty every day, white foam all around, the room was dirty and they charged 40.00 for a lost towel ticket.

We booked for 3 night and left the very next day. The place was not kept well. Rooms smelled moldy, the air was just heavy to breath inside the rooms. Felt very unsafe to stay there

Overall, it's a very nice maybe 3-star all-inclusive, at least for Cabarete (vs say Punta Cana). The room itself was clean and bed comfortable, but needs upgrade and repair - faucet was loose, screen door to patio was jammed, TV reception was unwatchable. Food was 2-star at the buffet, maybe 3-star at the reservation-only restaurants (of which you can only go to 3 times per week). But beach was great - no snorkeling, but perfect for playing in the surf, or watersports. I was there specifically for kiteboarding, and Cab did not disappoint! Some negatives - if you happen to get a room near the road, it will be very noisy from all the motorbikes. Also note that the "exploring opportunities" are basically limited to the walking the beach - the main street and town are pretty rough and dirty. But some pretty fun little bars and restaurants up and down the beach. Would I recommend? If you're looking for Punta Cana caliber opulence, then you'll need to offer them some latitude. But for the value, it's a solid choice.

I have stayed at this resort in past and this trip was the worst experience ever. The rooms were not nice and air conditioning was faulty. First night we were switched to 3 different rooms and the last room with good AC had a handle that came off and cut my finger. It was a terrible experience. Ants all over the room couldnt even put my babies play pen ln the floor.

Courteous entire staff, good amenities, great location. However, i had to pay an additional fee to use the room’s safe box.

It wasn’t what I was expecting. From what we saw from pictures, it appeared like a more put together resort. The room had wallpaper peeling off the walls. One light worked in the room. We had to call maintenance to fix the issue. When the main light was being fixed, water poured out of the covering of the light and splatted on the floor. The ceiling paint was peeling and hanging from the ceiling due to the water damage of the AC. Definitely a more family friendly resort, if that’s not what you are looking for. Staff were very accommodating and were very intentive.

We were upgraded to a beautiful ocean view and enjoyed it very much. The morning staff for breakfast was not attentive to serving the gas. The vents and air ducts in the rooms needed cleaning. All in all we had a wonderful time.

I booked two room and for the entire stay they were unable to fix the air conditioner. I reported on the first night that we had no air conditioner and the response was that they were sending maintenance. The next day I personally went to the front desk at 7 am and informed them about the AC. I went to enjoy the amenities of the hotel and returned back to the room at 7:30 pm and informed them that the AC was not working. The manager went personally to see what the problem was and it was resolved for two hours and then the AC broke down. One of my family members was moved to another room. However, due to the time that I reported the incident around 11:30 pm they were not able to accommodate me in another room. I was given a fan and told that no other rooms were available because the hotel was full.

I arrived at 5pm and was told my room was not ready. Check in was at 3pm after two hours my room was still not ready. Later the room given to my family and I the first issue was the ac was not working properly. Complained to the front desk more than five times to either change my room or check the ac unit. The front desk representatives didn't want to give us a new room. Had to request to speak to the manager, Ms. Anna S. Ended up giving us a new room after all the run around. The second issue was the little fridge was not cooling. My family and I will not be returning here. Horrible experience.

The TV didn’t work 3 out of 5 nights The toilet didn’t flush 3 out of 5 nights We did not have hot water in the room 3 out of 5 nights

TV did not work, AC thermostat broken bathroom not in good condition . Toilet clogged

I returned home from my stay at viva about 2 days ago. If you are looking for a quiet resort, where nights wind down pretty early, then this is the place for you. The food wasn’t my favorite, but others seemed to enjoy it for the most part. If i’m being honest my favorite part was the Staff, specifically Wanda and Alfredo at the Reception desk were the most helpful during my whole experience at this resort. They continued to go above and beyond to help me and my family in anyway we needed. They apologized for any inconveniences and problems that we had during our stay. Extremely professional and friendly. The Animation Crew in charge of all the fun activities and things at the resort were also so inviting and fun ! Honestly the staff made the experience what it was, without them I wouldn’t consider going back. Loved Loved Loved the staff !!

Staff is amazing !!!

I really enjoyed my stay at the resort. I took a solo trip and I felt safe around the resort. The staff were extreme friendly and helpful. They have a great group of people I like to call the "HypeWoman & HypeMen that do different activities & nightly performances. They were very engaging and fun. I Highly recommend this place, its small but it has everything you need for a good relaxingg stay. Highly recommend!

Honestamente en general necesitan un entrenamiento todo el pesonal desde recepción hasta cameros. El aire acondicionado no funciona bien, estuve del 7 al 11 de julio y todos los días tuve que ir a la recepción de 3 a 4 veces por día porque las tarjetas se desactivaban todo el tiempo, te sientes perseguido todo el día por los vendedores de tiempo compartido y membresías, te salen por todas partes no basta con que digas que no estás interesado, ellos todo el tiempo están sobre ti lo que para mí es bastante desagradable.

Staff made me wait 5 minutes then an hour later 5 minutes, another hour , went to the main desk And said I would wait for the technician and then he went to my room to meet him. I would like my two hours back that I could have stayed in nj in a room with my 7 guests traveling with me to Viva. Stay in a private place is my option! Also stay away from the time share “club”

THE STAFF AT THE FACILITY WAS EXCELLENT , RESPECTFUL, ALWAYS WILLING TO ASSIST IN ANYTHING NEEDED, THEIR CHARACTER WAS EXCELLENT, SHOUT OUT TO " RAFINA AT THE BAR ALWAYS MAKING MY DRINKS AND CAPPUCCINO COFFEE WITH A SMILE, TEDDY-BEAR AT THE BEACH SITE FOR HIS PLEASANT CONVERSATIONS, 'KENNEDY THE SECURITY GUARD FOR ALWAYS MAKING SURE THAT THE HOTEL WAS SAFE, EMMANUEL AND JUAN FROM THE CHAIN MEMBERSHIP AREA FOR THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND GREAT SERVICE. IN GENERAL THE THE ENTIRE STAFF AT THE BUFFET CAFETERIA.

The experience was not only amazing but the staff brought even more light to it! I don’t have words to describe how amazing this resort is, it genuinely felt like home. 10/10 recommend

Staff and service were excellent. Waited more than 20 minutes to check in, receptionist was no where in sight.

Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5) Friendly staff overall, but poor handling of key issue and no management response The staff were generally very friendly and welcoming — we would have rated all 5s if not for one front desk night shift employee and the lack of management follow-up. Two nights in a row around 11 PM, our door keys stopped working. The first night, Jose sent someone to help. The second night, he refused to send assistance and insisted we walk all the way to the front desk. Thankfully, we’re healthy, but this would have been a major issue for anyone with mobility concerns. The key was not demagnetized — it was kept in my shirt pocket. Employee was rude, and no manager was available. We submitted a complaint through Expedia requesting contact with management but never received a response. Disappointing experience considering how kind and professional the rest of the staff were.

The staff were all amazing and the activities were fun

Nice size resort, everything walkable from our room. Ocean had steady waves during our stay in February. If you want calm waters, this is not your place. We enjoy bodysurfing so it was fine & they provide Boogie boards. Beware there is often a"Red Flag" up so you can't always go in the ocean, although the pool is very nice. We found the food very good, but that is always subjective. Stayed a few weeks & always had something we found tasty. Lots of vegetables/salads/pastas available in buffet. A-La-Cart restaurants: Mexican & Italian were very good, the "Melt" fusion one had less selection & smaller portions, we'd skip that. "Snack " area was very unimpressive; typically Burgers & fries/Pizza, not many options or healthy choices. Animation team were excellent with activities & shows. Nice variety of shows at night. Not sure about the smoking policy as there were "No Smoking" signs around but didn't seem to be enforced. One odd thing; schedule of activities was posted on their phone App, but it wasn't always accurate as sometimes the posted event never happened or was different. More annoying was when an event started earlier than the posted time. ( For example-schedule said "Bingo" was at 5:30, but often started much earlier so you'd miss out if you showed up "on time"). Walked into town a few times & always felt safe. Overall, enjoyed our stay & would return.

Overall, it's a very nice maybe 3-star all-inclusive, at least for Cabarete (vs say Punta Cana). The room itself was clean and bed comfortable, but needs upgrade and repair - faucet was loose, screen door to patio was jammed, TV reception was unwatchable. Food was 2-star at the buffet, maybe 3-star at the reservation-only restaurants (of which you can only go to 3 times per week). But beach was great - no snorkeling, but perfect for playing in the surf, or watersports. I was there specifically for kiteboarding, and Cab did not disappoint!

Also note that the "exploring opportunities" are basically limited to the walking the beach - the main street and town are pretty rough and dirty. But some pretty fun little bars and restaurants up and down the beach. Would I recommend? If you're looking for Punta Cana caliber opulence, then you'll need to offer them some latitude. But for the value, it's a solid choice.

DR is my favorite place to visit. I enjoyed my stay at Viva Wyndham Tangerine. It was a smaller resort but extremely well maintained, clean, and excellent staff including security. The workers take pride in their work and make it enjoyeable. The entertainment was amazing and so friendly. The food at La Vela was amazing, the buffet La Bahia was perfect for me as well although some people at the resort were not as pleased. A lot of activities, evening shows and disco at night. The beach has waves I loved it but some may choose otherwise of they are looking for calm water. I would recommend this resort to family and friends.

Access to the beach and amazing staff

Great value, great location with good pool and beach access, very friendly staff. Food was Ok. Room basic but good with airco and good beds.

Went for a kiteboarding week with my son, perfect place to stay for the eat - kite - sleep - loop !

We stayed in a room above the main building (lobby, buffet, bar, etc. ). It was so loud all night. The resort can feel very clogged in areas as it’s all together in one spot. So hence, very noisy and not quiet and relaxing. The food was okay nothing to rave about. The beach is enjoyable, very busy with people kite surfing, walking and sun tanning. The local town was enjoyable to walk to by beach or road and we enjoyed visiting cafes or getting ice cream.

Food was above average. Only one bar, always a line. This was the biggest drawback. Bring a big mug! Great Kitesurfing right at beach with excellent instructors! Walking to town on road is a hazzard. Walking on beach to restaurants is fine!

Located in the heart of Cabarete

Easy access to the restaurant and beach.

We came here 5 years ago and it was truly amazing! But this time we were very disappointed, food was bad, everything tasted like old & stale. Food was very limited, not a lot of options. It was very disappointing.

Staff were great. Room was nice with balcony overlooking ocean and pool area. Food was mediocre with limited restaurant options.entertainment was not good. Hoped for more cultural performances and instead it was people dancing to American music.They ran out of pool towels everyday we tried to get one. Had to call for bath towels for 5/7 days.They need better laundry facility to keep up with demand.small area for people to gather.It rained every evening so a lot of people gathered it small area. Very noisy. Especially being right next to food Buffett.meals were noisy.only one bar.Snacks 11-7 and 11a-7p consisted of dried over cooked burgers and dogs/dried up fries. Nacho chips were good.gift shop advertised as being open everyday 9a-8p.not true.closed Sat and was closed Monday way before 8 Went to nearby bar for some peaceful drinks

The food is horrible and limited. Thank goodness there was restaurants close by just a walk down the beach. The beach is beautiful but windy so big waves. Great for the kite surfers. I will not return.

The food was absolutely horrible! The drink policy was whack not being able to have a mimosa wit breakfast & no bacon was horrible. Spa services were below par & performed wit door open is unheard of. Overall I will NEVER use ur facilities in this lifetime again.

It's big and a good experience. The restaurants are a bit of a let down. The buffet has different options every day but it's varried usually

Very clean, very nice staff. Buffet food was tolerable, however the a la carte restaurants were very good!!

Food was not good.

The property is outdated. Friendly staff however in desperate need of training. Food options very limited, poor quality and poor presentation. Not enough shade around pool or property. In terms of the rooms, one day no towels, another no soap and another day no water. Beautiful beach without any infrastructure. Horse and animal poop on the sand every day. Advertised pictures are not current.

There is NO hot water in the rooms. Rooms floors are always dirty. They push you to buy a time share. Restaurants are never available and make you make reservations and never available bubut always empty. Buffet food is cold. Bar only has one person working while 5 are just standing around. Theater and night club is old and run down Buffet i

The rooms were very beat up, but staff was very understanding and proactive when there were issues with my AC. The food was ok at the buffet, I usually found some things I liked (pasta salads, pasta, fruit) but a lot of it was bland or a bit sweet where I would have expected savory. The food at the Mexican restaurant was downright BAD. The food at the Italian restaurant was better. The entertainment was interesting, they definitely try to appeal to a wide audience with lots of options. Overall had a ok/good time.
