“Estuvimos el mes pasado con 10 amigos más en el Viva PALACE...el predio de los hoteles Beach y Palace es GIGANTE: jardines bien cuidados, playa limpia y muy amplia, buena sombra, siempre con reposeras disponibles.Servicio de internet malo. -habitación normal, al jardín, pide refacciones (la 5125) falta mantenimiento (una luz de lectura no funcionaba, puertas de placares se abrían, muebles lucen viejos, control de aire sin regulación de temperatura, una sola silla en el balcón. Servicio de limpieza y sábanas muy bueno, todos los días ponen 2 botellitas de agua mineral de cortesía. -el servicio de comida  en los restaurantes buffet es discreto, siempre conviene esperar a los cocineros (muy amistosos todos) lo que hacen al momento, falta surtido de fiambres (encontrar jamón crudo por ej., una quimera), los postres de repostería tienen muchos colores pero todos saben iguales. Para destacar en el buffet LaTerraza al mediodía a Yencel Quezada por su buena onda con todo el grupo.También el buffet La Roca, excelente ubicación y vista, al lado del mar. -el servicio de comida  en los restaurantes a la carta que fuimos es claramente superior: El Atlantis, El Viva Café y el Bambú excelente atención, ambientación, servicio. Descartar Il Palco, feo lugar y comida -Deportes Náuticos: disponibles por turnos de 30 minutos catamaranes, kayaks, paddle table, laser (si lo armaran..lo tienen a un costado de la base) Hay dos bases, una en el sector del Beach, muy mala onda los muchachos de allí, sin ganas. La otra base en el sector del Palace, mejor, algunos de los muchachos bien predispuestos y otros no tanto. Aquí hicimos base para la parte náutica y de playa. No se entiende por qué si un turno anterior quedó vacante, no permiten salir antes del horario asignado para poder aprovechar tan linda actividad. -Bares: hay 8 contando los 2 complejos, Bar La Papaya en pileta sector Palace siempre con mucho personal, bien atendido, poca espera. Hay un snack allí al lado, el V.W.D.Palace, con hamburguesas, pizzas, salchichas, papas, nachos, etc, muy piola, pero 20 min.antes del cierre comienzan a quitar todo y lo que hay, hay…. Bar El Trago, poco personal, puede haber una cola gigante que no se les mueve un pelo para mejorar la atención. Bar La Placita en pileta sector Beach, muy grande, mucho personal, a la noche cuando se junta bastante gente por el show al aire libre y para bailar, funciona bien Bar Lobby V.W.D.Palace íbamos mucho antes de la cena, chico pero siempre atendieron muy bien. Lo llamativo era que siempre tenían poca bebida de “marca”, tipo Campari, Aperol, etc y estaba “cuidada” no así las bebidas “regulares”como llaman a las de marcas menores, que sí abundan. Esto mismo ocurría en TODOS los bares, poca bebida de marca, mucha “regular” Un secreto muy bien escondido es la cafetería del Palace, al lado del Rest. Palito de Coco. Pasando rápido casi ni se la ve, unas pocas mesas afuera y adentro. Ideal para quienes les gusta desayunar o merendar tranquilo buena cafetería y cosas de panadería o tortas, alejados de las multitudes. Destaca la atención de la barista ISAMAR por cordialidad, sentido del humor y también de RONNY.Para bailar al aire libre, a la noche hasta las 12.30hs en sector bar La Placita con temática diferente cada noche, después hasta tarde en Disco Bar la Locura música electrónica y más. Cantantes y músicos en vivo a la noche en Bar La Papaya.Por qué el hotel NO ES UN LUGAR AMISTOSO PARA GRUPOS?éramos 11 (encima impar!) y cuando uno arma y viaja en grupo que quiere? estar juntos! por eso va en grupo! gran parte del staff no entiende esto y a la hora de reservar en los rest.a la carta, nos querían poner en 2 grupos, incluso a diferente hora! Al ir a cenar a un buffet, era un problema y no dejaban armar mesa para estar juntos, incluso una noche en La Terraza, la encargada no permitió juntar más de 4 mesas porque “queda desordenado el salón” a pesar de estar en un rincón y hubo 2 personas que tuvieron que comer apretadas en un mismo lugar! Responsables del hotel, tengan en cuenta a los grupos numerosos!”

“Short story: Except wasting time at check-in, trying to connect to WiFi all the time and standing in queues (food, drinks, making restaurant reservations and even toilet), we had a great time.Detailed story:There was a long queue at check-in, one agent handled multiple check-ins at the same time. We asked, how it works here and for a map of the resort. Come tomorrow, was the answer. They can't even provide us with a map of the resort and say, what's included and where to get it at which time. After a long drive from Santo Domingo and the worst check-in ever, I just wanted a coke. So we went to the first bar, sorry, not included. Tried the Viva Cafe next, sorry, not included. Went to the La Rocca Restaurant, sorry, not included. Went to Restaurant 25°, included, but only with a reservation. So the next day, we went to guest service and finally got an instruction, how it works here and a map. There are two parts in the resort, Beach and Palace. Palace guests can go everywhere. Normal Beach guest have the choice of 4 restaurants and the big buffet. You can go to restaurants three times a week, but you need to make a reservation. Reservations are open every Sunday starting at 8 o'clock, which obviously leads to a loooooong queue. If you are a VIP, you can use all of the 9 restaurants and also unlimited times per week, but you still need to make a reservation. Also you can use the other amenities from Palace. There are also some Snack Places and some Bars. The WiFi is popping in and out and most of the time not usable, best connection you will get at the reception at Palace. The TVs are big but also unusable, cable is very, very poor quality, and because the WiFi is not working, Netflix is also not working. The aircon was broken when we arrived and needed fixing, It happened the same-day as we reported it.6 days after we arrived we got a message at the door, we should contact guest service. They were reading our story here on GMaps and offered us a room with better WiFi and quieter in the night. The room looked like a downgrade, so we didn't accept. Then we got the info, we were already upgraded (what no one told us at check-in, would have been a nice selling point, thanks for that by the way) to a junior suite and the exchange room was a superior room, what we actually booked. That's why our "superior room" looked quite big and had two rooms and two shower and toilet rooms.The beds are quite comfy. Every day, you get 2 bottles of water in the room, which we always put right away in the fridge.Loud music till way over midnight, what will prevent you from sleeping. Food in the restaurants is quite nice, at buffet just standard. At the buffet is always a long queue to get in at all times and they don't have enough plates, cutleries and glasses. The beach is nice and clean. Beautiful Sunset can be observed.Most of the waiter wants you to comment on TripAdvisor and mention their name and great service, which it mostly is.Some guys in brownish shirts try to talk to you, make good friends and invite you to a manager's speak, probably about a time sharing thing. We never went, because with this service, we for sure not joining again.Loads to do: Free: archery, trapeze, climbing, volleyball, ping pong, table tennis, bocchia, water sports Paying: diving, excursionsRestaurants: Bamboo, Asian, Palace La Terazza, Buffet, Beach La Yuca, Buffet, Palace Il Palco, Italian but not Pizza and Pasta, Palace Viva Cafe, Fusion, Palace, Outside 25°, Fusion, Beach, don't take the seafood Palito de Coco, Domenican, Palace Aquarius, seafood, Beach La Roca, Italian an Spanish, Beach Viva Mexico, Mexican obviously, PalaceBar: Tiki Bar, smoothie, milkshake, detox drinks, Beach”
