Viva Resorts has just launched three locations in the DR and more to come!

Last month Viva Resorts announced the launch of Viva Residences, a fractional deeded ownership aimed at the worldwide “baby boomer” tourism market starting in the Dominican Republic - Play Dorada, Puerto Plata, and Las Terrenas at the Samana peninsula.  You recall some of my past postings regarding viewing the Dominican Republic as one of the best values in the Caribbean for fractional and full ownership vacation resort living.

The launch of this venture was highlighted in DominicanToday, and Viva Resorts will also include Mexico, Bahamas and Brazil, besides the Caribbean.  Their architect, Antonio Imbert has designed Viva Residences in Las Terrenas, with about 70 villas and apartments in front of the sea, clubhouse, gym area. The construction is scheduled to begin this month - May.At Santo Domingo’s Hotel Embajador, Viva Wyndham Resorts president Ettore Colussi said the offer will also include several restaurants, a modern spa, and a swimming pool which wraps internally around the project. 

He said all the units have balcony or terrace, water heating system and a modern kitchen totally equipped with household appliances. Some of the properties have Jacuzzi or swimming pool and a private gazebo.Mr. Colussi said these properties have swimming pools and Jacuzzis, discothèque, spa and gym, boutique, stores, casino, the complex’s golf course and the hotel’s services.  In all developments buyers will get deed of property, ordinary and extra maintenance for gardens and other areas, security services, private beach club, receptionist and manager, 24 hour water and electric, the possibility of renting and/or interchanging the units through a specialized rental network.  

The Viva Resort management at Las Terrenas said, “We don’t know if it’s the perfect white sand beaches, the crystal clear waters, the palm trees or the fun atmosphere, but guests keep telling us that the Viva Residences embodies their lifelong vision of a Caribbean vacation spot.” Prices will be announced in the next month.  As soon as I get the info I will pass it on.  And, if you find out more info let me know.  I look forward to having all of us learn more about these Caribbean residence opportunities.  Until next time…I remain your Caribbean lifestyle detective.
