Fun for Kids

During my stay, I found the kids club to be really good. They had plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained, which allowed us some much-needed relaxation time. The staff organized games, crafts, and sports, making our kids excited to join in every day. It was a fantastic experience for the whole family!

Delicious Local Flavors

The dining experience at Vivo was good. I particularly enjoyed the fresh local fish, which was very nice! Although the menu had a limited selection, the daily specials were excellent. I also had a romantic dinner that exceeded my expectations, with attentive service that made the evening truly nice.

Lovely Spa Services

I took advantage of the spa facilities and absolutely loved it! The massages were heavenly, and the overall ambiance was peaceful, allowing me to unwind completely. The spa was a great way to rejuvenate after a day of exploration and fun in the sun. I can't wait to return!

Our family had a mixed experience at the resort. On one hand, the spacious and clean rooms with great views were a highlight, and the on-site facilities, including the beautiful pools, were enjoyable. However, the remote location and insufficient Wi-Fi access caused significant inconvenience during our stay, and the service left much to be desired due to communication issues and lack of empathy from staff.

The resort delivered a mix of pleasant experiences and some frustrations. The ocean view from our room was stunning and the dining was excellent. However, the remote location made it challenging to access nearby towns, and the unreliable Wi-Fi was a significant drawback. Overall, it was a good experience but not without its issues.

Rooms

Our ocean view unit was beautifully appointed and spacious, featuring large sliding windows and excellent air conditioning in the bedrooms and bathroom. The living space felt open, but we missed having AC there, especially during the hot days.

The resort is quite remote, requiring a long drive down a rough dirt road. While the tranquility was appreciated, being about 20 minutes away from Chila and 35 minutes from Puerto Escondido made getting around inconvenient.

While the accommodations were quite nice, the resort needs to invest more in maintenance, as we noticed quite a few areas that were neglected.

Vivo Resort has stunning pools, clean facilities, and is set in a beautiful location. However, my experience was marred by a lack of communication from the condo owner regarding cleaning services and the missing amenities, which made our long stay challenging. Dining options were also confusing and didn’t meet our needs. Overall, while the resort itself is nice, I highly recommend booking directly for a better experience.

Rooms

The condo was spacious and had a great ocean view, but it lacked essential cleaning supplies and amenities. Noise from outside was an issue, especially since the living area opened to the air.

The resort is isolated, which offers privacy but also makes it difficult to venture out for meals or activities. It’s a decent ride to nearby towns.

5.4/10

The resort has a beautiful beachfront and stunning sunsets, but the experience was marred by construction noise and a lack of essential amenities. While the condos were clean and well-designed, the remote location and slow service made for a frustrating stay. Overall, it might be worth considering for a short getaway, but definitely not for a longer stay.

Rooms

The condos were clean and well-maintained, but consistency in quality is an issue since they're individually owned. Some had well-equipped kitchens, but others were lacking.

Service

Service was a bit of a hassle; we encountered slow responses and a few errors. It felt unorganized at times, especially with details about towel charges.

Location

The resort is quite remote, with nothing for miles. It's a bit far from the nearest town, which can lead to expensive taxi rides if you're looking to explore.

Dining

Dining was hit or miss; the food we had was fresh, but they struggled to accommodate basic requests like salads and the service felt unpolished.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were decent but lacked some basic conveniences. The spa services didn’t meet expectations, and Wi-Fi was poor throughout the resort.
