Wyndham - Viva Wyndham V Heavens — all travelers all-inclusive in Puerto Plata, DO. Detailed editorial coming soon.

- À la carte restaurants genuinely enjoyable
- Strong breakfast spread
- Attentive buffet servers
Heads up

Beach
StrongA clean, palm-shaded beach with calm swimming water and plenty of loungers, reached via a pretty mangrove walkway from the main resort. The walk is the catch: 10-plus minutes from most rooms.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Clean, well-maintained sand
- Calm water good for swimming
- Plenty of palm shade and chairs
- Scenic mangrove path to the sand
Heads up
- Long walk from rooms to beach
- Shortage of beach umbrellas
- Loungers packed close together
Detailed beach reporting coming soon.
Pools
MixedOne main pool anchors the resort: clean, well-serviced, and rarely crowded, but that's it. No swim-up bar variety, no railings for easy entry, and shade is in short supply.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Never overcrowded
- Attentive pool bartenders
- Clean and well kept
Heads up
- Only one main pool
- No handrails or steps for easy entry
- Not enough umbrellas or lounger shade
- Pool bar seating is limited
Detailed pool reporting coming soon.

What’s included
StrongRepeat visitors return specifically for the price-to-quality ratio, and many rebook multiple weeks on the spot. A minority feel the four-star billing overstates a property that is showing its age.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Strong price-to-quality ratio
- Guests routinely rebook multiple stays
- Free filtered water stations replace bottles
- Solid food for the tier
Heads up
- Buildings and rooms feel dated
- Some feel the star rating is inflated
Package inclusions and upgrade access have not been collected yet. Confirm them for your room and dates when booking.
Amenities & activities
Couples
Good fitA quiet, gated, walk-on-the-beach kind of place that draws honeymooners and destination weddings rather than party couples. Expect calm ambiance, spacious Amnesia suites, and a wedding team that gets high marks.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Popular for small destination weddings
- Peaceful, safe gated grounds
- Spacious Junior Amnesia suites
- Long palm-lined beach for walks
Heads up
- No dedicated adult-only pool or section
- Nightlife is limited to one disco
Families
Good fitWorks well for low-key family trips with a kids club, entertainment team that includes everyone, and a safe gated layout. Not a waterpark-style property, so teens and easy-going kids fare better than thrill-seekers.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Gated resort with visible security
- Entertainment team engages all ages
- Spacious suites fit families
- Calm swim conditions at beach
Heads up
- Only one main pool
- 10 to 15 minute walk from rooms to beach
- Limited high-energy kid attractions
Peace & Quiet
StandoutThis is one of the quieter all-inclusives on the north coast, praised repeatedly for calm nights and low-volume evenings. If you want thumping pool parties, look elsewhere; if you want to actually sleep, this fits.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Nights are notably quiet
- Gated, low-density layout
- Mangrove path to beach adds serenity
- Rooms insulated from noise
Heads up
- Pool music starts around 10am
- Some find the atmosphere too sleepy

What past guests say
“Food options very limited and not hot. Not blender at the bar so no blender drinks unless you wish to pay at the Atlantic bar. Only one pool which if you are allowing kids they should have their own. Entertainment staff are not engaging.”

“A wonderful discovery! Excellent meals, congratulations to the chef! The hotel staff are incredibly kind. Special mention to Marlen and Alexander at the bar, who are fantastic. The entertainment team is also really great. I can't name everyone, but a big shout-out to Esther, Monica, and Timéo, always in good spirits. The watersports team is also very professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay :-)”

“It was truly a great experience in terms of service, and the food is highly recommended. I advise you not to miss the International Restaurant. The entertainment and show were fantastic all day long, and everyone was very friendly, especially a young man who introduced himself as "Chicken Leg." He was very attentive to everyone, as were the staff members. Congratulations on their acrobatics, tastings, and games—they were very well done. Although we got off to a rough start, the solution was...”

“A wonderful place, I loved it, but despite everything, the entertainment team is the best. Good shows and performances, but the one who made us laugh the most was Pata de Pollo [Ramirez], always with his energy and smile he made our day.”
