Hidden gem. Love it and will definetly return

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Jan 2020
Every year I book a different resort to spend the Brazilian summer holidays with my family. I wasn't expecting too much from this resort, but it completely surprised me in all aspects.
Staff is fantastic, special thanks to Robert bartender at the beach. There is always an umbrella and chairs available for you by the pool or at the beach. Food is excellent quality at the self-service buffet. Guests can order anything from the full menu, and they deliver at the beach - not every hotel offer this. The pool restaurant needs improvement - the atmosphere is pleasant, but the menu has few options and small portions, in my opinion. Room is spotless and looks new. The breakfast self-service buffet is impeccable, with fresh fruits, bread, cheese, everything you can imagine. The "tapioca" is delicious. I will return.

Our room, especially the jacuzzi, had an amazing view to the ocean. The room was spacious, bed was very comfortable, and there was hot water in the shower. The pool area is amazing, access to the sea and the beautiful beach. We booked massage in advance, and it worked perfectly well. Everything is close. All this would have given five stars and more, but...when you get blamed for not confirming a booking for a buggy ride, while you show them the email correspondence with the confirmation, and all you get is a "well, the buggy is coming in five minutes" after you have spent quite a lot of time trying to explain that we did everything as they instructed. The buffet dinner is only average, and the dirty bed linen with a blood stain was not very welcoming. They did bring new bed linen in the middle of the night, and other than the one incident, service was excellent all through the hotel. We could have had chosen something else but buffet dinner, but we did not. We'll go back one day.

Fabulous. The apartment is magnificent. Front desk very efficient. I wish they had omelets for breakfast instead of pizza, eventhough breakfast was delicious. My family enjoyed time there and we are planning on coming back next year. I bet you will enjoy as much as we did. Perfect for families. We visited other hotels to compare and concluded that our choice was the best. Congratulations Viva. We had a great time in Brazil.

Room tip: They are all fabulous

The hotel, its 7 pools, the closeness to the beach, and the locations nearby (wich includes natural pools in the sea with fish swiming around you), made our family vacations fun, easy, and unforgetable.
Viva hotel is great, not perfect, but still great. Has some issues with the entertaining offer for kids/adolescents, and it lacks the timming with the room services (as the room should be cleaned earlier in the morning).
Howerever, the overall experience is wonderfull and definitely a place to go back.

Good, new hotel. Very nice pool area. Beautiful main building.
Amazing Kids entertainment program.
Food just ok. A bit too oily, too much starch and flour on everything. Too heavy. Barbecue a bit burnt or raw, never on right point.
Room could be better, had the impression it was old although it was not. Always missing towels... we were 4 and had to order for towels almost every single day.
No extra bed covers, I was cold during the night.
Location is very good. Good, clean beach. 1Km away from natural pools.
