Major deterioration

David P on Dec 21, 2024

We have been here for fifth time,but this year it was a complete disappointment.The hygiene in the main restaurant in particular is catastrophik.The dishes are dirty,most of the guests have severe stomach problems.Nothing is replenished in the dining room,no one checks anything.It is a great pity,because the hotel is in a state of disrepair place.Unfortunately,this is currently not a Viva chain,but a no name 2-3 star hotel in Tunis.

Great resort hotel sadly let down by its restaurant

Harryc52000 (United Kingdom) on Dec 16, 2024

Second visit to this hotel. Although we stayed at the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Palace we had access to the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach hotel as well, and the two hotels form quite a large resort with different characteristics and styles. The hotel has a great location directly on the beach and the grounds are lush and filled with palm trees and tropical vegetation. Despite the issues with catering and the restaurant I wouldn't hesitate to go back to this hotel. The Palace hotel has a lagoon with quite a few birds, fish and terrapins and there are some very large iguanas also. Feeding the birds and the fish was something a lot of people enjoyed, and the hotel has put up some information boards about the different species there. Some of the rooms have been refurbished since our last visit and our room was bright, clean and reasonably quiet. Some more drawers would have been useful for clothes, and a table lamp would have been preferable to the very bright overhead lighting. Beds were comfortable and the room had air conditioning. The main buffet restaurant at the Palace hotel was adequate and offered a good range of dishes but it would help if the different dishes were labelled so you knew what they were, or, if there were labels, that they accurately said what the dish was. There were occasions when there seemed to be few waiting staff with only 1 waiter trying to clear dishes, clean and lay tables. There were also times when there were no tables laid and a lack of any crockery, glassware and cutlery. This seems to be a recurring problem here. The a la carte restaurants were much much better organised and we ate in several of them. The food in the a la carte restaurants was consistently good. An advantage of being in the Palace hotel is that you gain access to all of the a la carte restaurants, as well as the buffet restaurants in the Beach hotel. The 'La Roca' restaurant at the Beach hotel was very good. There is also a small very popular coffee bar at the Palace hotel that serves freshly brewed coffee, pastries and treats. There are several bars around the resort including some 'health conscious' bars serving juices and smoothies. The drinks were good quality although sometimes very sweet, and they offered a daily cocktail. There were some country themed evenings at some of the bars and special evening parties. The entertainment programme was good, with a live singer or occasional acts in the Palace hotel, but the majority of the evening productions were in the large theatre at the Beach hotel with productions of 'The Lion King', a Michael Jackson show and some great dance acts. The activities during the day were varied and included various fitness lessons, aqua gym, yoga and other activities, including dance lessons. The animation team were very enthusiastic and good at keeping guests entertained and engaged, and I must mention Stefano and Matteo from Italy and Maria from Spain. The beach and gardens were always kept clean and tidy and there were plenty of sunbeds available. You have easy access to the public beach next to the hotel so walking along the beach was possible. Outside of the hotel there is the small resort of Dominicus with some shops, restaurants and bars. It is also possible to walk to Bayahibe, a slightly larger local town with shops, bars and restaurants and a number of boats that set off from here to Saona Island.
