Active Advisories
The VIK Hotel Arena Blanca Resort has advised, beginning May 26, 2025, and lasting for approximately 3 months, renovations to the second pool basin and the children's pool. For safety, the area of renovations will be secured by a black mesh screen. The resort has advised, in the early stages of this renovation project, there will be some noise from the use of drills during the daytime hours, 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
For the duration of this renovation period, the first pool basin will remain fully accessible and operational; however, there will not be a dedicated children’s pool area.
The hotel will continue with undergoing refurbishment work to the guestrooms and reception area for the summer of 2025.
Although some noise may be heard, all efforts will be made to minimize impact to guests during this time.
Overview
VIK hotel Arena Blanca and VIK hotel Cayena Beach are two distinctive resorts in one, perfectly situated on white-sand Bavaro Beach. Stroll in the tropical gardens, head to the beach, relax by the pool or join in one of the daily activity programs.

Nice stay but beach not good.
Maibelys G (Toronto, Canada) on Jun 05, 2025
Rooms are nice and spacious. The food was good. We were let known after our reservation that one of the pools was under renovations. The available pool is very deep and hard for the small children. Beach... was not good since the hotel Does not clean the seaweed.
Always the same, always different and always a great stay

We return to the Vik each year because the previous visit was enjoyable. The Vik is renovating building 5 and that will be good for those who need more upscale accommodations and don't want to pay for the ...Cayenne Club. We have always been lucky in both the rooms we got and that with a few exceptions everything worked. We have stayed and payed at more upscale locations up the beach and never felt the cost was worth it. The food id good and a variety available. The beach has suffered from storms and rising tide levels but is still not as crowded as many of the larger resorts up the beach. Losing about 15 palapas near the dive shop certainly has caused some problems but many people simply move to the grassy area in front of building five. The large pool is definitely in need of updates but I don't travel to the tropics to sit by a pool. Miles of beautiful beach stretch off in both directions from the Vik. Never attend the evening shows so can't comment there.. we head tot he beach after supper to watch the stars and occasional thunder storms off shore. Our trip was flawless and enjoyable, again, so you will likely find us drinking our coffees and meeting new friends down near the Pelicano Dive Shop next April.
