Pros: Beautiful quiet and relaxing resort, very clean, 3 pools including a children’s pool.
Cons: Far from everything, the road to the hotel is a dirt road that’s very bumpy, beach is not swimmable.
It was a great place. They have different activities and amenities (yoga, exercises, gym). The food was great. Awesome customer service. A really great place to stay with family.
My stay at the Vivo Resort was amazing, the only slight inconvenience was the road to get there was a bit confusing and a little bumpy. However overall the staff was very friendly, the food was quite delicious, the rooms are amazingly beautiful and clean, the private beach was very calming and gorgeous, and I felt very safe during my time there.

Hotel is nice, Rooms are more like condos with kitchen. Hotel is quiet and far from downtown. Bad road from the main street to the entrance of the hotel is long and pretty bad. Hotel is good. Food was good.
You have to remember this is an underdeveloped area. It’s quiet, uncrowded, with an awesome restaurant ( Ernesto), and beautiful view. Serene, surrounded by mango groves, cattle farms. But you can’t bathe in the ocean ( currents too strong), can’t go anywhere in town unless you spend 50$ for 25 min back and forth trip.
I have traveled all over Mexico, and for a resort to provide a level of food quality was particular the staff was always very friendly, providing that typical Mexican hospitality of service
Property is nice. Pools and everything clean and good. Service is ok. The front desk person needs to be more pleasant. Perfect place to stay and like to chill. Quite a drive into town to the clubs, but worth it. The drive back late was very safe.
The resort is really nice, but it is in the middle of nowhere with a 25 minute drive to get to town, and half of that drive is on a dirt road. The wi fi was terrible, and the cell service was also terrible. The food was excellent in the one restaurant, and less expensive than most resorts.
Simply stated: this property is very peaceful in a beautiful setting. We had the 3 bedroom palapa room, which was nice. We had 3 kids, 10,11,13 yrs. The blinds were in need of replacement, the palapa was in need of daily cleaning, but overall the room was comfortable & had what you needed. Bring boxed food, it helps.
You can order groceries and have them brought to you at the resort. There’s a small store on site. Restaurant is good, but limited and does not change daily.
The pools are nice, lots of chairs in the off season. The beach is serene and beautiful. The hotel location is amazing, especially if you enjoy less populated. With the visit.
The apartments are very nice. New. Clean. The property as well. The problem is the service at the bars and restaurants. Extremely slow. For some French fries we waited more than an hour. Any meal takes 1-2 hours. I also became very sick on my secondary from food poisoning from something I ate at the restaurante. To get any service it is very hard and limited.
I was placed in a room my first night and construction was being done around 7:30am after a long late night of travel . The noise was so loud I couldn’t rest . After going to the front desk and asking for a different room I was told they would call or email me when they found something similar . They never called . There was no hot water shower 1 out of the few days I was there . The food and the staff for the restaurant were amazing and the food was amazing. The prices were not expensive very reasonable. Only reason for not getting 1 star . Over priced for not having anything near by to do . You have to get a taxi to and from town .
Beautiful property, I would definitely go back. The only con is that it is far from town accessible by a dirt road. Not complaining, this makes the place so special, however you need to either buy plenty of groceries for your entire stay on your way from the airport (which is what we did), or depend entirely on the one restaurant on-site. Round trip taxi to town is about $65.00 dlls so be mindful of that. There was one day that the building we were staying had a problem with the water supply and there was no manager in charge to update us on status. The very courteous front desk person was unable to answer our questions and no one else to support her with answers.
I believe we had one of the best units in the property (4 bdroom 3 ba beach front - ground level) and we fully took advantage of it. Steps from the beach and pool. I am sure you will enjoy your time as we did. Thank you Vivo for your hospitality, we will definitely be back.

Disliked: Amenities
We love the place, the rooms are very nice, the view of the ocean is fantastic! The pools are very enjoyable and the food at the restaurant was amazing. The staff at the restaurant are vey kind. We were really hoping to make Vivo are oficial place to stay in Puerto Escondido but the staff at the front desk lacks training, our room was cleaned everyday but the living room wasn't. For the price you pay we would suggest that coffee, shampoo and soap would be supplied daily, because it's not. The first day there were two conditioners instead of one shampoo and one conditioner, we reported it and nothing happened, so we had to go personally to the front desk to ak for shampoo. Instead of a customer service attitude we got a "it will be taken care when possible"....Not enough sun chairs by the pool taking into account the number of rooms. Very limited options for happy hour. On January 1st the restaurant service was very affected: few waitress, some kitchen staff didn't show up, they had ran out of certain food supplies, etc. We understand the challenges but it would've been appreciated if there had been a sign explaining the situation of the manager walking around the tables to explain the situation, but when we suggested this, we were told she was on vacations! During high season? Please know we do care for Vivo Resort to be successful since it is in a unique spot and so much investment has been made. So in few words we suggest hiring a manager that will make it so!
Expedia is aware that I was unknowingly used as a front for a fraud rental of an Oceanfront 4 Bedroom unit at Vivo Resorts. This issue has been elevated within Expedia and we will
Await reimbursement for the additional
Cost of securing lodging at the last minute. Travel nightmare to say the least.
