Vivá Porto De Galinhas Resort

“This time was great for us as a family. We've reloaded energy to start the year.”

It's a great place to rest. My family and I are very happy with this election.

“Great Stay! some areas to improve, but would come back!”

Overall a great family trip, just minor details that can be easily improved. Location is great, close to Vila PDG, Muro Alto and Praia do Cupe, very convenient to be able to take trips without losing most of the day. Atmosphere was very chill, calm, and it all depends on taste, we felt comfortable,… more

Overall a great family trip, just minor details that can be easily improved. Location is great, close to Vila PDG, Muro Alto and Praia do Cupe, very convenient to be able to take trips without losing most of the day. Atmosphere was very chill, calm, and it all depends on taste, we felt comfortable, it was not crowded, always had pool areas to ourselves if we wanted them, but if u like a more party atmosphere and constant recreational activities this is not the place, we enjoyed the relaxed nature of the resort. Rooms were found to be good, air cond worked great, shower really great, room service was very good, the light system works great so you can let them know when you are ready for room service is great. Also the beach hammock in the balcony was super nice. Value is reasonable considering amenities and food. The extra costs for drinks is a bit annoying having to charge it to your bracelet, I rather just have that included, and every time u wanted a drink they were slow to serve, even if not busy, staff takes a very long time to serve you. That is def something that can be improved, sometimes you would end your meal and drinks had not arrived. The pools were clean and the resort felt very clean. Pool chairs and tables are old and can use an update. They have great lounging areas near the beach that are just very well kept. There were some construction going on but it did not really bother us, although not ideal, i am sure some people can find that not pleasant. Service overall Id say its good, not overly friendly but not rude either, just reasonable respectful treatment, maybe the reception desk can use a friendlier face but again, just details. Our only set back in our stay was that the door locked and it would not open, we requested help and within the hour the problem was fixed while we had lunch. Beach towels are bad quality, that's another area they can improve. Overall I would stay there again and will recommend it as well, I think you make ur own memories and we had an amazing time, the place is very nice and helped enhance our vacation time, its a matter of taste and they cant please everyone but I think Viva is very worth the stay. Foam party was fun, the entertainment in my opinion is lacking but again it depends on what you are looking for. I have older children, but they seem to have many activities for small children. Felt like they focus their entertainment for local tourism and mainly play Brazilian music which is great but I would like it to be more balanced out at the pool area. The food is a strong point of Viva, real quality on all 3 meals. The GYM felt a bit small but it does the job. Again these are details and observations, and its a matter of your personal taste and likes, we were very happy with our stay and will cherish our stay there always. This review is mainly so they can improve certain details that can make them look even better to other future guests.

“Best resort ever”

It's simply the best resort experience I ever had. I had been to resorts in Madeira, Costa Brava, Spain, Portugal, nothing compares to this. The staff is amazing, my 8 year old daughter doesn't want to leave the hotel, for the activities. Activities start at 8 am and finish at 10 pm! It's in front … more

It's simply the best resort experience I ever had. I had been to resorts in Madeira, Costa Brava, Spain, Portugal, nothing compares to this. The staff is amazing, my 8 year old daughter doesn't want to leave the hotel, for the activities. Activities start at 8 am and finish at 10 pm! It's in front of a marvellous beach with clean water, 15 min walking from Pontal do Cupe natural swimming pool, the food is not crazy expensive, they take it to you wherever you are in the hotel, the swimming pools are a paradise! There are also activities for adults and the dinner, on the dinner... In London you would pay more than the price of the day stay just for the dinner. My daughter will miss aunt Algodão Doce when she goes back, we will remember of this experience for all our lives.

“Beautiful hotel and beach, but serious health situation and poor adult entertainment”

The hotel itself is beautiful, and the beach is very nice, with waves and a great setting. The food was very good, the staff was generally kind and attentive, the Kids Club was good, and the hotel looked clean overall. However, we had a very serious issue during our stay. There seemed to be a major health outbreak at the hotel. We were a group of 12 people, and 6 children and 6 adults got sick with high fever. Doctors were constantly coming to the hotel to check both children and adults, but the hotel never acknowledged the situation or took visible action to improve hygiene, cleaning protocols, or food area management. That was very disappointing and concerning. Another weak point is the entertainment. For an all-inclusive resort, the quality and variety of activities were poor, especially for adults. There were some activities, but they felt very basic. The evening shows were also quite poor compared with what you normally expect from this type of hotel. Overall, the hotel has many good things, especially the beach, food, staff, and Kids Club. But the way the health situation was handled was unacceptable, and the entertainment offer needs significant improvement.
