Jonesin' for a tropical getaway, but want something out of the ordinary, too? Does an ocean-side trapeze lesson sound exotic enough? Believe it, acrobatic tricks on the beach are within reach at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach. This hotel, situated on 4921.26 ft of soft white sand, is a circus act and seaside resort in one.

The location is great! The bathroom was not clean. Hard to get sleep at night since the room was very noisy with loud music from the club and our request to change room was not so easy to get.
We are a family of 4 two daughters ages 23 and 14 its hard to keep them buzy because of the age difference but when we arrive both of them were entertain the whole week. We left on sat they wanted to go back on tuesday I really recommend this resort they make u feel like u belong and there's always something to do for everyone
This is a great resort if you love eating at the buffet. Every time I have been to this resort the restaurants are always booked and you can't get into them. However, if you go to one of the restaurants in the evening, you will notice that most of the tables are empty. I'm not sure what is going on there.
Overall, the staff is friendly and the resort is nice.

No casino. This resort is in a quite part of the country. No large cities nearby. They do have a night club.

Yes! I don't remember what they were called, but I remember driving by a few casinos on the way to the resort and many billboard advertisements for casinos nearby.

There is one about 1 mile from the Hotel. Matt, a marathoner in our party, ran passed it and said it looked really shabby and sketchy so we didn't bother. It's the only one in the area.

Travel to the hotel7 answers
For the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach, in the package details it says that travel to and from the airport is not inlcuded, can someone tell me what the travel cost might be?

Arranging your transportation in advance is highly recommended! This must be done no later than 48 hour prior to arrival. Taxis are available but may not be metered. If you were to add transfers to your package from Santo Domingo airport it would be $60 per person round trip. This would be a shared vehicle and could include stops along the way. The Turinter Tours representative will help you make the best of your vacation and will assist you by providing helpful information about the hotel, surrounding areas, local customs and more.
They can also reserve optional tours and return airport transfers.

If you fly into the nearest airport, the Ramoma ( i think) it is about 20 minutes away. You can hire a private car online to take you to the resort. The cost was $50 each way. Our driver was waiting for us with our name on a sign. Or you can hire a cab when you get to airport for about $35 each way. Taxi's are waiting outside airport. But I would hire a driver ahead of time.

Booked it through this website for $120. It was top notch and well done. Heard it was a good bargain after talking to other guests.

When we booked our trips with Cheapcarribean.com, there is a check box that will let you include the shuttle to and from the airport and resort. They really take care of you this way. But if you want to take a taxi, I think they are around $30.00+- each way per person. I recommend booking it all at once. We had a small bus, which is a lot bigger than a taxi...

Switch airports. The Romanda is only 20 minutes away. You can hire a shuttle online for $50 each way. Our driver was waiting for us with our name on a sign. Its a very small airport but has a couple of flights in each day. We stayed in one of the beach bungalos. Those are the only ones with ocean view. They are small duplex rooms sitting right on beach. Patio looking out to ocean.

Transfers are included. The rooms can be problematic. The best are the bungalows. the beachfront bungalows do cost extra. The reef in front of the hotel is not exciting..kind of drab and not very colorful. after a few days, and tips from several snorkelers, we finally found our way to the good spot. Go waay out almost to the buoys where the boats pass by. Out there everything is bigger and better. We saw a medium sized black ray with silver spots cruising along. His thin black tail looked to be about 4 ft. long.some medium size sea fans and spiky sea urchins also. Large starfish on the trip to Saona, but not near the hotel. Bring snorkel on way to Saona!

Book the round trip with this website. Mine was $120 for both of us. Resort is actually 2 hours from airport. Don't know about diving training cost, but Pro Excursions was top notch and we loved them. They are on here as well. 5 star rated on trip advisor. Reef diving (really snorkeling) in front of hotel was probably 5 of 10. Good reef fish, but reefs were not in prime condition due to proximity of resort. Book a trip out.
TexasTwosome
We have booked the shuttles with the package! They will be waiting for you at the airport. However, I have heard that the taxi rides are about $30.00 each way per person, might be a little cheaper, but then your in a small van or car. We have been on small buses. But the taxi's are waiting at the airport. There wasn't upgrades to ocean view when we booked or when we arrived but we had booked a garden view bungalow, but got a ocean view one! I don't know how that worked out. As far as the scuba class, they offer the whole package, with 3 dives for I think round $300+-. Or the free one and then the one dive out in front of the resort down to 10 meters, I took a dive along with my daughter, and my dive cost $40 for the one tank, and I think her cost was about $80.00 But I am not sure about her cost. . . I enjoyed the shallow dive, it was a nice reef, rays, eel, king fish, and many other colorful fish. The snorkeling is great out in front of the resort. Take lots of sun screen, it cost about $19.00 a bottle there!

Travel from airport to resort?7 answers
Why doesnt the package just have us fly into Romanda? Does it cost more to fly there instead of Santa Domingo?
And if we did not reserve roundtrip transportation from Santa Domingo, how much will it cost once we are there?
9 months ago
excited!!!
Our packages are based on flights to Santo Domingo (SDQ) due the variety of flight options. However if you prefer to fly into La Romana an agent can assist with confirming the package for you although the flights are limited and tend to be more expensive. Approximate driving time between Santo Domingo airport and the La Romana/Bayahibe area is 1 hr. 30 min. The cost for round-trip airport transfers is $60 per person to Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach for example.

La romana is more expensive since there are less flights and options than Santo Domingo.

I'm guessing it does cost more to fly into La Romana or they get a kickback from the "tour operator" fo the transfer vans. It was a hike, but went quickly. Don't think about renting a car though.... peopel drive like a video game......totally wreckless. Pay the money in advance and embtrace the ride. we got our driver to pull over for some cold beers to go on each of our rides!
UStravlr
The trip from Santa Domingo is long it takes 2.5 hours and Punta Cana is about an 1.5 from there. Not sure why they have you go there and yes it would be expensive to travel if you dont book the round trip to the hotel.

Not sure if you received an answer already, but it's worth the cost of the roundtrip transportation!!! There is no closer airport to La Romana then Santo Domingo and to take a taxi an hour and a half drive to the resort would be way more then the transportation Cheap Carribean offers.

Can someone using a wheelchair/scooter get around okay?6 answers
I went to the Majestic Colonial last year and loved it, but the ocean was too rough for me. Next time I go to the DR, I'm taking my scooter so I can get around faster. I have a hard time walking. Is everything accessible at the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach?? And, it looks like the ocean is pretty calm, is it?? Thanks!

Everything but the rooms. Unless you have a beach bungalow or something on the first floor, there are no elevators. Stairs only.

This year the water was a little rougher than normal. (Went July 10-15). The last two time there the water was calm with very little waves or none at all. Even this year you will not be able to body surf the waves.

The ocean is calm. More like a bay. I do not believe you would be able to get around on the beach in a scooter but you could anywhere else in the resort. Our favorite pool starts out with inches of water so very easy to walk into if mobility is a problem. I don't want to be the final answer on the accessibility of the beach as there is a lot of beach and there may be a place I didn't see.

Room Information
604 air-conditioned rooms, each featuring island-inspired decorative accents and equipped with air-conditioning, satellite TV, telephone, balcony or terrace, hair dryer, and safe deposit box."
The oceanfront bungalows and white, super-soft sand make Viva Wyndham Dominicus really stand out. The gym and trainer help you work off the drinks and late-night pizza.
What We'd Change
The grotto is amazing, but we really wish it had a swim-up bar. You have to climb out of the pool each time you want a fresh drink.
Why You Should Go
You get to "soar through the air with the greatest of ease" on a flying trapeze! You also can't beat the beachside Bali beds with their flowing white canopies.

Hotel Description
A Caribbean Vacation with an International Twist
Jonesin' for a tropical getaway, but want something out of the ordinary, too? Does an ocean-side trapeze lesson sound exotic enough? Believe it, acrobatic tricks on the beach are within reach at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach. This hotel, situated on 4921.26 ft of soft white sand, is a circus act and seaside resort in one.
Your all inclusive stay at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach includes more than a free trapeze lesson with a professional instructor. There are Caribbean dance classes, yoga and meditation sessions and a disco. International theme parties and dinners bring Italy and France to you; you might even get a taste of Carnival. If you still have energy to burn despite the nonstop beach games and live music, you can hit the gym with a trainer, and chill out in the sauna.
At Wyndham Dominicus Beach, though, the best place to see and be seen is the coral-stone grotto. It's the perfect place to lounge the day away, gazing out at the ocean... or maybe at the sexy European vacationers strolling around! With the hotel's three freshwater pools, the chances for Speedo sightings are high. When it's time for an afternoon nap, stretch out on one of the outdoor Bali beds while the sound of the waves lulls you to sleep.
You'll need to rest up before your scuba lesson. Wyndham Dominicus Beach offers a variety of diving packages, from beginner level to advanced. The hotel's PADI-certified instructors are happy to show newbies the ropes. Experienced divers will salivate over the chance to explore the 240-ft shipwreck right in front of Dominicus Beach.
To stay fueled for the fun, make reservations at Viva Mexico, where old-school Mexican dishes are served up with modern flair. If you've got the late-night munchies, the wood-burning stove at La Pizzeria is glowing all night long, so grab a slice before you hit the sack. When the night is done, retreat to your oceanfront bungalow or recently renovated hotel room. Crash in your comfy bed to recharge your batteries for tomorrow.
