Hello! Yes they are, you can ask for wine by the glass and it is included on the price you pay for the room. If you want a whole bottle to take to your room or to your table, then it will have an extra charge. Hope it helps

Hola ! :) Claro que si, con gusto le ayudamos. Al reservar en el Hotel Solo Adultos Maya Riviera del complejo Barcelo, tiene acceso a TODOS los restaurantes, bares y buffets de todos los 6 hoteles del complejo... y tambien a todas las piscinas, area de juegos, etc. de los 6 hoteles. Nosotros probamos varios resutantes de especialidad de otros 3 hoteles del complejo (realizando la reservacion para la cena), y tambien probamos varios buffets (sin reservacion) de otros de los 5 hoteles ademas del nuestro que fue el solo adultos. Basicamente al hospedarse en el solo adultos, tiene acceso a los 6 hoteles del complejo, sus restaurantes, buffets, piscinas, juegos, tiendas, etc. Tenemos un video de los 6 hoteles donde mostramos como pasar de uno a otro y asi pude hacer uso de las instalaciones. :) Saludos!

@@klstyle5388 ¡Muchísimas gracias por la valiosa información! <3 y definitivamente voy a revisar sus videos de los demás hoteles. Me resolvieron dudas que en otros videos no aclaraban del todo y dejaban la información algo divaga (al menos para mi que carezco de la experiencia de viajes). ¡Saludos!

Hello, we had a hold of $500 on the credit card we used for the reservation, but after we check out it was removed. Hope it helps :)

Que bien Deyanira, animos y espero que disfrutes mucho! nuestra experiencia fue excelente, aunque fuimos en mes de verano y el resort estaba a 100% capacidad.

Hello, We were there for 7 days, and I would be back for another 7 days gladly! This complex is amazing and the Hotel was so nice :)

@@klstyle5388 I want to visit some time next year. I am excited about it 😊 your video has helped me to narrow my decision. It is a stunning resort 👌🏾

Hello, We had two ways to do it, one is upon arrival during the check in, and the other one at the time of the reservation online. We did it online so when we arrived all was ready :)

Thank you!

Hello, we booked it online with a company called DAT®, very known in D.R., with good reviews and they were very punctual.

How much was it? Cause I am by myself so I am not sure I can afford it

We paid $100 roundtrip and we were 6 in total, like $8.50 each way per person.

Gracias amiga! Un abrazo para ti y sigue viajando con nosotros :)

Hello, oh yes, the restaurants have A/C and even on the Italian we were a bit cold while having dinner. Only the main buffet does not have A/C since it is open air in front of the ocean, so there was always a nice breeze there.

@@klstyle5388 thank you!

wow, I wish I knew it before! Thanks

Sure, we have been traveling a lot and no time to post the new videos, but I will do it soon. We love to see new places and maybe help travelers like us, to have more information.

Hello, it is not. La Romana is about 40 mins by car.

Pour nous, le bon service et l'attention étaient si bons que notre expérience est celle d'un 5*, nous avons passé un très bon moment.

Asi es, nosotros tuvimos una experiencia muy buena, para toda la familia, lo recomendamos mucho!

Hello, thank you for your comment. Actually, during our stay most of the guests were young and the ambiance was very nice. The animation in the beach will have everybody dancing in no time, and the same at night in the shows and the club. We did see families, but in the overall there were many young groups and couples. Hope it helps and have a great trip!

Thank you so much for all that info!! Also for getting back to me so quick!

Sure, we had a great time and hopefully yours will be awesome too. Also, I remembered, at night they had music on the Beach and most of the young guests were there, it was super fun to dance and have some cocktails on the beach bar, It is open 24 hours.

The best for actually see all the details, is to just go there and have the experience, since a video will not do justice to the actual plates and atmosphere.

Hola Juan, Que pena que su experiencia no fue buena, de hecho nosotros fuimos a este hotel recomendados por unos amigos Mexicanos, porque les habia gustado mucho.

In our case, since it was quiet it allowed us to work from there when needed. But if we were going with family kids, then it was better to stay at one of the other hotels which are not adults only.

Seriously? Who wants screaming and crying kids around on vacation?

Hello, We took the hotel transport (bus) to go from one Hotel to another, and the same hotel bus back to ours. It arrives every 5 mins and it was very convenient, even when we found out on the last day that there is a path which connects all 6 hotels and the total walking time is around 20-25 mins.

Hola Ramiro, La verdad teniamos poca expectativa antes de ir, pero una vez alli, nos fue muy bien, la atencion fue optima aunque eramos un grupo grande y estabamos muy dispersos por todas las areas del Hotel, todos tuvimos muy buena experiencia.

Yo estaba allá este fin de semana y la verdad me gusto muchísimo lo recomendado.

Hello, Actually, our room was so close to the buffet and restaurants that we were always full... also the One Cafe was great and open until almost midnight, so we hanged out there too a lot.

How was the club area on your vacation? I’m going in April and am curious after reading your comment

Hello, and yes! All that is seaweed... every afternoon after 4 pm lots of seaweed would arrive from the sea, but the most amazing thing was that, the next morning when we arrived early to the beach, it was clean like it never happened and the water was crystal clear... I have to mention the incredible work of the Hotel staff here, we were truly impressed. On the other hand, seaweed is common on the summer months and whenever is a hot weather, so these coming months you will most likely encounter some.

Thanks for your assistance!@@klstyle5388

Hello Johnny, In the overall we can say it was good, well prepared and full of flavors. Actually the food at the Mexican restaurant was awesome, after being in Mexico we could tell. The only one we felt a little poor was the Italian Restaurant, not because of the food (which was tasty) but the options offered were minimum for being an all inclusive. The alcohol drinks were nice, always available in the Beach 24hr Bar. We liked to have cocktails after dinner there and it was great!

Terrible

Hello Chavely, We have not been in Viva Resort yet, but please let me know your experience when you go. Maybe we include it in our next D.R. trip :)

Okay

Hi travelMN The resort has 6 Hotels, we stayed in the Adults Only as we wanted to relax and be quiet most of the time. The other 5 hotels are family oriented, so will have kids. We did spend some time on the other hotels' pools to see the service and ambiance, and of course, there were kids playing and running around (and screaming). We found that from noon on, it was the time where most kids were out playing. Between 7 AM to 11 AM was pretty quiet to be honest. Hope it helps!

I was in low season so almost no kids - but the resort was very loud in other ways - the walls in the Tropical hotel were so thin that you could hear everything people were saying in the room above you. Also every time someone was flushing the water in the toilet in the rooms you could hear it. One night I was woken up by a loud sound of running water - it sounded as if somebody was taking a shower in our bathroom - it was so loud and realistic that I even went to check if there was a water leak - but the sound was coming from the room above. I was woken up by this noise at 4am and the showering continued for 1 hour - it was the whole family showering before an early morning flight - at around 5 am I could hear their suitcases being rolled along the corridor and then on the pavement outside. It was almost sleepless night as earlier on the same night from 11pm to around 2.30 there were groups of people shouting and laughing in the corridors and outside - this is indeed a party hotel even in a low season when the spring breakers are long gone. I had total of 2 sleepless nights due to noises made by other guests. I have been going to all inclusive resorts for years and never before experienced this kind of night disturbance or indeed such poorly soundproof rooms. Not going again to this hotel for this reason and for some other reasons as well.

Hello TravelmanMN, The Hotel is perfect if you are looking for relax, quiet ambiance and tranquility. It does have the night music to enjoy at the awesome lobby bat with cocktails and also all the activities on the other hotels of the Resort. But, if your idea is to meet people and socialize, the only adults may not be the place for this. It is mostly quiet and relaxing, and most of the guests are couples. Hope it helps!

Hello Meg, We upgraded one of our rooms to swim up after the first night. It is worth it if you really love the pool and want to be quiet - comfy, but my advice is to first checkout the beach as it is absolutely wonderful. We ended up not using that much the swim up, as we spent most of the time in the beach (with no regrets at all). Hope it helps :)

Hello rulinghabs, we also toured the other 5 hotels and it is true that the ambiance on the pools, the animation and the whole setup is more of party and fun on the other 5. The Adults Only is more of a relaxed style and dedicated to self care and rest, it did have some animation in the pool and the music shows at night, but it is a different style from the other Hotels in the complex. I do recommend it for couples as the set up and ambiance invites to romance and relax :)

Hola Javier, asi es, nos encantó esta ciudad y la peculiaridad de sus paisajes, muy hermosos!

Hello Musze, In our experience, any room category has the same quality food and drinks, there is no difference on that. Premium rooms are a little isolated on the corner building which is quieter and have no transit of other guests which are not in premium level. A plus is that it is closer to the beach, but when you go to the buffet and restaurants, lobby bar and pools, you will have to walk farther to get to them. Another plus is that premium has its own lobby bar, just in case you do not want to be with many other guests around, but other than that, the quality of the experience is 5* in any room category. Hope it helps!

Hello Sara, Yes, they do have live entertainment every night, with different shows, dances and music. Some of the shows are even interactive with the public dancing. Besides that, they have a night club open every night from 9:30 - 10:00 pm until 2 -3 am. Basically you won't have a single night without a nice plan to do :) Have fun, and enjoy your trip. Any questions I can help you with, please let me know.

I am going too in April, I can’t wait to experience this resort

Bonjour Allb, Il est vrai que l’hôtel est merveilleux à bien des égards, et il y a certainement quelques points à améliorer. Merci pour votre commentaire, cela aide beaucoup la communauté.

Hello Andy, we loved your country really! The landscapes and warmth of the people left us enchanted. Will go back for sure :)

Hello Johan, Yes it is, all the restaurants are included, the main buffet and also the specialty restaurants, no additional fee for anything. Also, by staying on this hotel you have access to all restaurants for the other 5 hotels on the complex, at no additional cost (this was awesome for us).

Seems like you enjoyed the food

Hello Len, let me tell you, everything was 5* to be honest, even the food! The buffet had so many dishes that it is one of the best I have been to. We have some chefs in the family and all of them agreed that the food on the buffet and restaurants was excellent. We really enjoyed it :)

Asi es, absolutamente todos !

Asi mismo, todos deliciosos!
