Serenity in the Sun: Viva Heavens Resort by Wyndham
Luxury Meets Tranquility as Viva Heavens Resort by Wyndham Offers a Mesmerizing Escape in the Dominican Republic.
November 11th – 14th, 2023
Nestled on the sun-kissed shores of Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, Viva Heavens Resort by Wyndham stands as a testament to the epitome of luxury and relaxation. From the moment you step onto this paradisiacal haven, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and opulence. Everywhere you go, the staff is smiling, creating an ambiance of warmth that complements the luxurious experience at the resort.
Let’s start with the stress-relieving spa, a sanctuary within a sanctuary. The spa transcends the ordinary, offering a diverse array of rejuvenating treatments that cater to both the body and soul. The expert spa team, including the delightful Andrea at the counter to check you into the spa, along with skilled masseuses Nicaury and Ivelisse, skillfully combine traditional techniques with modern spa innovations. This creates an immersive experience that effortlessly melts away the stresses of everyday life. From soothing massages to invigorating facials, every session is a journey into bliss, leaving you refreshed and renewed.
Dining at the resort is nothing short of a culinary odyssey. The all-inclusive resort boasts a plethora of dining options, each more lavish than the last. Whether you’re in the mood for a romantic dinner at an intimate seaside restaurant or a vibrant buffet showcasing a world of flavors, the resort’s culinary offerings are a gastronomic delight. The chefs skillfully curate menus that blend local Dominican influences with international flair, ensuring that every meal is a celebration of taste and texture.

However, the open-space rooms at Viva Heavens Resort by Wyndham are a study in modern comfort and elegance themself. Each room is a haven of tranquility, with minimalist design elements that create a sense of openness and serenity. The rooms are meticulously appointed with luxurious amenities, ensuring that every moment spent within these walls is a retreat into sheer bliss. The plush furnishings complement the overall experience, providing an atmosphere of sophistication that exceeds expectations.

Speaking of landscapes, the scenery at the resort is nothing short of spectacular. It’s cocooned by lush, tropical greenery and overlooks the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea. The sprawling grounds are meticulously landscaped, creating a harmonious blend of natural beauty and man-made luxury. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, strolling along the pristine beaches, or enjoying a sunset cocktail, the awe-inspiring backdrop of Puerto Plata adds an extra layer of enchantment to your stay.

In addition to the spa, dining, rooms, and landscape, Viva Heavens Resort by Wyndham excels in providing a myriad of activities and entertainment options. From water sports under the Caribbean sun to lively evening performances that captivate and entertain, the resort ensures that there’s never a dull moment. The attentive and friendly staff, who seem to be everywhere with their contagious smiles, including the exceptional spa team, contribute to the overall atmosphere of warmth and hospitality, making you feel not just like a guest, but a cherished member of an exclusive community.
For families seeking both togetherness and individual pursuits, Viva Heavens Resort by Wyndham provides the perfect getaway. Engage in a refreshing dip in the pool or the ocean, join fellow guests for a lively Zumba class, or dance the night away in a Silent Disco. Adults can savor various libations in designated areas, while children explore the dedicated Kids Area. Here, games and a quiet spot for rest ensure that everyone, regardless of age, finds their ideal retreat within the resort’s embrace.

If you’re eager to explore beyond the property, the concierge proves to be a valuable resource in organizing your adventures. After just a brief conversation with them, my mother and I were able to secure a booking for a trip to “Kite Beach” in Cabarete. As we navigated through the bustling city towards the beach, the scenery unfolded in a way that was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Renowned as a haven for kitesurfers, thanks to its ideal proximity to a reef, the beach was littered with plenty of adventure seekers.

Yet, “Kite Beach” wasn’t alone in its surreal scenery, a City Tour brought us out to the fort of San Felipe, which gave us incredible views of the coastline and an opportunity to learn all about its important place in the country’s history. Further along the tour we also got to enjoy several samples of rum at Macorix House of Rum.

Viva Heavens Resort by Wyndham goes beyond being a luxurious retreat – it’s a destination where every detail, from smiling staff to seamless excursions (like Kite Beach), and family-friendly activities, contributes to an experience that lingers in your memory long after you’ve left its shores.
