Viva Miches by Wyndham

Animation team was amazing! We loved spending time with Emiliana, Matias, Luis, Mati, Tobias, DJ Yogui and Puki- they always kept us entertained, we especially loved the foam party! Bartenders 10/10- shoutout to Oliver, Esmerlin, Daniel and Santos! The à la cartes were great and buffet got the job done- we loved the Asian Fusion, Mediteraneo and Atlantis. Beautiful decor, beach, very clean-would recommend and return!

The hotel is amazing, the food, they give it to us a bad room but they change it and was good. I love everything but more the entertainment team, Emiliano, Dj Yogui, Puki, Mari were the best. In the bar Santos was so nice and funny!! I recommend come here and I want to come back soon!

A great long beach excellent for walking . entertainment nightly was great . Two pools however Until they build adult only hotel next door one pool should be designated for family’s with kids to play , and not allow jumping into the pool . Designate the other pool adult only use . Bar service staff good , but different bars lack selection of alcohol some days so very inconsistent. Examples no tequila, no Campari , no bubbly, out of soda water, no can beer, no cranberry juice. It was hit and miss at start of day or during the day. Lack of black pepper and any hot sauces , lack of toasters at breakfast , only 1 at buffet, two panini press not good for toast, other breakfast location no toaster at all. Lack of beach chairs and people hogging chairs for hrs , there should be no reserved chairs until 8:00 am. Towels service spotty at beach and in room. Should have a designated smokers area at the beach and signs that leaving butts in sand will result in 500 peso fine . Thumbs down procesco is 2% alcohol No Canadian Wiskey 4 restaurant choices were mostly disappointing and sub par at best. Each restaurant seemed to have maybe 1 good appetizer, and maybe 1-2 good entrees while the others were disappointing . Food and plate arrived cold one night. Plate Presentation was nice thou. Beach BBQ was better than buffet , pasta made to order was tasty, but not a chilly flake to be found anywhere and major lack of black pepper or hot-sauces. Service overall was ok a bit spotty , not slow Lots of locations for Coffees , coffee bar, main bar and some beach bars.

Just returned from a very nice 10 day stay at Viva Miches by Wyndham. End of Feb 2026 to March 4th 2026 with Air Canada. We were a wee bit skeptical from some of the neg reviews but all in all found it to be a great an relaxing vacation. There are a few things they could address and will pass it along in my review. The resort is very clean and staff and animation plus sports team spot on. Staff at front desk and reception friendly and very helpful. The staff at customer service also wonderful. We did not find an issue with bees or jelly fish at this time. Now walking along the lovely beach one will find an odd jelly fish washed up on shore. The water is cloudy and not great for snorkeling. You can walk to the left for miles along the beach but we found the walk towards the left just amazing. As you head to the left you will come across a beautiful tropical area with palms coming close to the waters edge. This made for some of the most beautiful photos. It soon became our most favorite walk. Unfortunatetly a tour boat seem to find it during our last few days for folks to come into swim in from the small town of Miches. I believe it was a whale watching excursion which was likely on last days of finding whales in the bay. The restaurants were great, the room and bed comfy. There are a number of languages spoken and only being English speaking we were dif in the minority. This is an area that needs to be address when the teams are relaying info in speeches. The buffet was fine and you will not starve by any means. We didn't find our food cold but the buffet is really spread out so this maybe the issue. The Buffet and Beach Buffet are not overly elaborate and does get repetitive and the a la carts we found out standing. Mediterranean was our favorite as filet mignon was on the menu. Our one complaint was that an Italian group arrived and they ran a red tape around an area for their use only excluding all other customers. Now there is a Viva only section which we understand is an up sale. This area just happened to be an area we had been enjoying and felt if we have to fend by ourselves they should of as well. There should be no special treatment given as one of the problems is lack of sunbeds and the only shade is the Palms. There is also a lack of shade at the pools. I hope they address this issue in the near future. The resort is a long drive 1.5 hours but we came in daylight hours so enjoyed the ride. One thing to note is the Punta Cana airport when you arrive stay under the covered walkway when trying to find your bus. They tell you to find your rep and in our case AC was a ways away. The parking lot is full of buses and you will never find it out in this lot so keep walking until you find you rep. under the walkway. Punta Cana Airport is extremely busy and large. You will find yourself in lineups coming and going and this is a problem. You will feel like you are in a herd. All in all a good vacation. Glad to get away from Ontario weather. Great and friendly staff. Beds great. Beach has it own beauty. Sports team and water crafts exceptional . Loved the Catamarans and Captain Magnifico and team. All the kayaks and Hobby Sails like new and included. Rooms a wee loud from doors slamming. We were in building 3 second floor. Largest tv screens I have ever seen in a resort. Ours was a google tv so anyone wanting to bring their passwords from home you could do so. Wasn't on our list to do. The animation team which you will find on the beach and pool are really talented and hard working. They put on some of the best evening performances we have seen at a resort. I'm sure in 5 years we will not recognize this area. Go and enjoy while still not all built up. This is what makes it such a Gem.

What we liked/loved. The keys on bracelet, the fresh water fountains throughout the hotel! We liked the long beach walks ( how long before more hotels/ resorts are built.? ) we liked the staff nobody stood out but they were friendly. We liked the way the animation teams all worked together. We found the food ok ,varied and they certainly tried to cater for everyone . What we didn't like. The fact when the hotel is full its survival of the fittest to get a sunbed. It rains oh how it rains .... more than other parts of the dom rep.we hated the plastic plants on the tables ... what we found unpleasant is the "class" system and the promoters in the area between the restaurant and the beach. Everyone should be treated the same on vacation but no, Viva has members seating in the restaurant,members beach , members chairs at the bar.. strange they didn't block off an area in the theatre. Then the persistent sellers in the coffee area.. they were courteous and friendly but there all the time. We are hotel members with other chains where we accumulate points and get discounts , maybe a members check in but that is that.but having a class system we didn't like it when the hotel was full , people were standing waiting for tables or in line for a drink and the "members " area was empty. This factor will put us off Viva in the future. We enjoyed our vacation but not sure we would come back.... if you are reading this and going please spoil the cats (especially the kittens.....)
