What did you like about the property? Viva Hotel strikes a perfect balance between being large and spacious yet cosy and welcoming. It’s a place where both kids and adults can truly have fun and relax. I must confess, the food at the main restaurant (buffet-style) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner isn’t just good—it’s absolutely extraordinary. The quality is top-notch, the flavors are magnificent, and the variety keeps things exciting every day, with new and delightful surprises from a clearly talented chef and an excellent service team. Breakfast (café da manhã) is especially impressive—diverse, fresh, and abundant. Honestly, it’s hard to imagine a better way to start the day. Every penny spent was worth it. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely come back!

Beautiful property, well taken care of, beachfront, with a lovely staff. The food is also excellent. Can’t recommend it enough if you have kids!

Smaller things - the decor in the rooms could be more modern, and the buggys going along the beach front create a lot of noise and gasoline smell at times - but you can avoid it if you want.

All of the staff were super friendly and professional. The live bands were pretty frequent, all were surprisingly good and there was a good variety of music to please all/most. The resort had very nice and clean facilities. There were many locations to enjoy. It was never overcrowded. The pool area was very nice and ample

We didn't like how there was always music playing on speakers throughout the resort all day and night (not overnight). There was nowhere to go to escape the music to have peace and quiet for meditation, prayer, etc, not even our rooms. It could have been worse though. Also, we booked the hotel assuming the beach it's on was usable but due to the strong currents, it's ever only usable for brave surfers. A 1 hour walk along the beach or 10 minute drive to porto de Galinhas is nicer for swimming and shopping.

Location and faciliities.

Local drinks prices, an absolute ripoff, they were selling an very poor quality bottle of water which costed 0,50 for 7,50! I will come back for sure.

The rooms are very comfortable, the staff is very nice and helpful and the resort infrastructure is really good. The room I stayed in had an amazing view! It was my second time at Viva and I hope to return more times.

In general the food is very good but could have some improvements. For example, employees could be trained more about getting the right point for meat and eggs. I got overcooked food a few times although I expressed I wanted medium. Another improvement is installing phones outside the rooms so we can contact the reception. I got locked up outside my room and had to go all the way to the reception to get it fixed. It was a bit annoying.

The location is in front of the sea

Some rooms lack good cleaningness and the staff on the pool were chatting and do not paying attention to customers

Great place for relaxing and recovering some energy. The resort is beautiful and located by the beach. The staff is awesome and the food is tasty. I recommend the breakfast and dinner, while I haven't tried the lunch. The balcony where you order tapiocas, waffles (breakfast) and barbecue (dinner) and all the typical fruits are a must.

The beach around the resort was littered. There was a giant pothole taking almost the entire street that lead to the access of the resort. The items from the bakery (pão de queijo, cakes) in the breakfast could be better prepared.

The live nightly music, views of beach and beautiful pools were a total vibe

The price was a bit steep for alcoholic beverages which weren’t included as part of the stay

The staff was very friendly and the hotel clean. The hotel restaurant and the food were amazing!

The hotel's location is superb, in front of the beach which is beautiful, clean with warm water. The pools very nice with also warm water. A place to enjoy and rest.
