Hotels with Breakfast in Puerto Plata

The only problem is that I have to pay a fine of $100 for each room, because the hotel said it was an offer for American citizenship only... and the page told me that it was not because of the offer. .. I was stolen by the lifestyle tropical beach all-inclusive spa resort hotel chain Puerto Plata, do I need to do a lot of care redo?

Everything was fine in the facilities, the problem was the penalty they charged me for being Dominican. You should charge everything for the same reservation and not have the awkward moment at check-in time.

Excellent hotel friendly staff ...... Recession Elvin an excellent deal

top service very good food only complaint the wify and safe not included. excellent alcohol. very good sports service. as well as the spectacle and the show Friday and Saturday also a disco atmosphere of the hotel for the majority of Dominicans August 15 the divine beach.

This is an older place, but very clean. Dawell was amazing and so very kind and helpful. When he was not there, his co-worker George was just as nice and friendly and helpful. The 2 of them made our week so much easier. The staff was very kind but not many spoke English and would have to get someone to help on most occasions. We did not like that the cruise ships came in every morning dropping off bus loads of people. We had to put towels on seats in the shade, or they were all gone, then they stayed at the swim up bar the whole day. When they left, the local Dominicans came in and did they same. Would I go there again, absolutely! The Japanese restaurant was delicious as was the Mexican.

Excellent preparation. The staff was very kind, friendly, helpful, the varieties of food were very nice and excellent, everything was very nice, the restaurant was very clean, the rooms were very clean, the entire pool, the warm water was the best for me.

Not even a 4*, sadly. This resort has potential to be something better. Let me get the not so great stuff out first: no decaffeinated coffee (unless you want instant) in the coffee shop. Public restrooms had doors that wouldn't close or locks that did not work. Vendors are either very persistent or busy lounging on the resort lounge chairs. Sometimes chatting with the security. Drivers of the ”little vans” can be dangerous, speeding along. Some of the landscaping is overgrown and blocks views. Saw someone nearly get hit by a van as she went to step on the pathway. Beach ”grill” is a very limited buffet. Food would be brought out, wrapped in plastic wrap around 10 and restaurant would open at 11. Food was overcooked, cold and soggy. Reservations are a most. Can only be made one day in advance for next day only. The service in all 3 a la cartes was good. Food was inconsistent. Mexican we had 2xs once excellent and once not good at all. Same meal ordered. Husband had some beef dish and he said it had the strangest ”texture” and gross. Food, everywhere, was average at best. Beverages: juices tasted like fake sugar. Frozen drinks were syrupy and not frozen. Unless you wanted to order a pina colada or coco loco at $4USD or $6 with rum. Water in bottles in room only. Otherwise you get a cup full. Resort was jammed with locals or those from cruise ship on day pass. Cruise ship clients got beach wait services and were able to bring food out of the grill. Food was replenished and fresher at the beach on the day the cruise ship day pass people were there. These people were ”treated” better than those guests on site. When waiting at reception, it seemed at that all the associates were happy to chat up the locals checking in. We waited and finally, had to chase someone down to answer a question. The locals obviously got preference and better service than other guests. We were in adults only room block. Came back to the pool for an afternoon swim and the pool was drained. No explanation. We paid extra (2 couples in 2 separate rooms)for the adults only area. The other pools were loud and had games or loud music and kids. Not what we booked or paid for. When the pool became available, the bottom is so rough you need to walk carefully. The filter/skimmer was not working. We pulled leaves out of the water. Then there was the handfuls of fake hair. Locals arrived with their large, loud speakers drinking and smoking in the pool late into the night. No quiet swim (or any swim because the pool was crowded). The noise bounced off the walls and could be hear around the other side of the buildings. The room we had was very dark, even with all the lights on. The toilet seat did not fit the toilet. Patio door was difficult to open and squeaked loudly when pushed. There was frequently the sewer smell in the bathroom. It was coming out of the shower drain. Shower didn't drain, sink stoppers didn't close, lighted makeup mirror didn't light, ceiling did leak in the bathroom

Thank you for choosing our Viva Heavens by Wyndham A Trademark All Inclusive Resort

The customer service experience and nightly entertainment is what sets it apart from other all inclusive resorts. The employees do not expect a tip (unlike jamaica). The staff all go above and beyond to make your stay / vacation a pleasant time. Special mention to Star & Sol whom do an amazing job facilitating the Kids club/ Delfi club. They have themed programming and activities for kids daily. The nightly entertainment was amazing. They had an Africa Show - it’s their rendition of Lion King with a love story. It’s great value this resort. Their sister resort next door Senator is upscale; however, I didn’t find the nightly entertainment as good.

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Money My experience at this resort was frustrating from start to finish. The resort frequently lost power—by frequent, I mean six times in one night and sporadically throughout the week. Even when the power was on, the air conditioning didn’t work, making the room unbearably hot and impossible to relax or sleep in. On our first night, I asked to be moved to a room with functioning AC, and the front desk clerk escorted us to another room—only to find the AC was broken there, too. He assured us we’d be upgraded to a better room the next day. We spent a sleepless, uncomfortable night and returned to the front desk the next morning as instructed. What happened next left me speechless. They said we could move to the upgraded area with working AC—but only if we paid an additional $147 USD because it was a “remodeled room.” I asked how they could justify charging us more when working AC was supposed to be included in the original price. The clerk apologized, but insisted this was the only solution. Reluctantly, we paid the fee, but the new room wasn’t much better. The bed had a deep sag on both sides, making it nearly impossible to get a decent night’s sleep. To make matters worse, the AC in this room stopped working on the final night of our stay. We weren’t the only ones dealing with this. After speaking with other guests and reading reviews, it became clear that AC problems are a common issue the resort is well aware of but hasn’t resolved. While the location and amenities might look appealing online, they don’t make up for the constant power outages, broken air conditioning, uncomfortable beds, and poor customer service. To top it all off, the food was mediocre at best. I left this vacation more exhausted than when I arrived. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this resort entirely.
