“Enjoyable holiday”
Lovely hotel and staff, very good selection of food, some of rooms older than others but cleaned every day and supplied with bottled water, miles of beach to walk along with plenty of activies which are pushed by reps, make sure you take insect repellent, we had problem with insect bites on feet. Prefer American dollars.
“Beautiful Hotel/ Ok service”
VIK Hotel is a beautiful Hotel. We had a room on the 1st Floor right accross the beach. The Pools are very nice. Food is good. Entertainment is ok. Service can be better. My TV was not working properly and it took them a day to come and fix it. First night we found a couple of hairs in the bed. Drinks (like in so many reviews I read) they are not good. Soda was ok, not as sweet as the Hotel we stayed in Puerto Plata. But I believe that some people as long as its included, they eat and drink anything. The beach at the hotel (Bavaro) is gorgeous!!
“Venodrs harrassing you all day and night, if you don't care, stay there”
The room was clean, people at the front desk was okay. Hot water in the shower room wasn't a problem and the beach was beautiful. The food was okay, not great, a lot of fried food, the waiters very respectful. What i hate about this hotel is the fact that they allowed a lot of vendors on the property day and night to sell products, after awhile it felt like an harrasment, we hated going to the dining hall because that would mean bypassing a lot of vendors, it didn't matter how often they see you, they still chase after a sell. Also, don't waste your time with the time share, it's expensive and if you are broke or have other plans, it's not worth it. The lack activities on the premises, the friday and saturday night show was the best, mamajuana is the drink of choice or the beer. There wasn't a problem finding seats on the beach, the club on the premise wasn't great at all, they lack variety. The bartender on the calypso bar was very nice and helpful. I wouldn't stay there again because of the vendors and lack of activities.
“food need up grade”
food need defintly a upgrade specially at the buffet!!!!!
“Pretty much what I expected.”
It was better than I expected. The room was clean, but sparse. The food was great. The people were nice, and the beach is great. The beds were hard as had read in other reviews, but who cares. I liked the place and I'd go back. I think it was a great value. I liked the size of the place. It was big enough, but not giant. I felt very comfortable letting my kids wander around the place.
“consider another place to stay”
Slow service combined with not freindly staff.
“ok for the price”
The hotel was not bad but i was disappointed that you had to pay extra for the a la cart resturants. hot tub was cold
“Beach is great, but that's about it!”
Upon arrival they couldn't find my name in their paperwork, because they don't use computers for such thing as reservation. It took well over 20minutes, because they were also helping other guests with questions-no lines! The room was of a decent size, but definitely needs updating. The walls are stained with dead bugs. Bathroom door have windows in it, so if you're not traveling with family member it could be a problem. The toilet in my room decided to overflow, which took over an hour to get fixed and even longer to get cleaned. I checked in on Monday and my room has not been cleaned thru Friday when I requested it be switched. The maids will come to your room in the morning and take all your towels, leaving you with nothing. You'll get them back around 4p.m or they might forget and you will need to go to reception for them. The hotel is full of our fellow Canadian neighbors that don't really care that you're there to relax and sleep sometimes at night. Out of 10nights of my stay, there wasn't one that was quite. Rooms have paper thin walls and you can hear people next door as if they were by your side. Restaurants serve same food 7days a week. You might considering going on a diet upon arrival! They also look more like diners and not restaurants. Never a clean table to seat at, and never enough silverwear to eat with! By the time you get those two you're disgusting dinner will be cold! You'll wake up daily saying: The beach is beautiful! It truly is!
“Not Impressed”
The hotel is outdated, not renovated and its shows. Rooms A/C does not work properly, bathrooms small and pain start to peel off the walls. Very poor selection of food and alcohol. The pool does not have a swim up bar and at the bottom of the pool the paint is peeling off. Not enough service staff at the central buffet area. One good thing is the beach. Always clean, enough space for everyone and plenty of shade.
“Absolutely I'ill come back!”
lovely people..bad animation!
