I received a lot of emails and put these up quickly and will add to descriptions as I get time, More pictures to follow of the Cabarete area.

Food was decent, not spectacular. Water had far too many wave for snorkelling here the Kite surf capital of the world, good for bogie boards

Hi Just wondering if there have been any other travellers to the Viva Whyndham Tangerine resort in Peurta Plata. How was the water for snorkelling and how was the food. Did anyone visit a local school..?

They were working on the roof of the Entrance building when I was there, tennis court was finished but roped off. I only can assume they have rackets.

For Larry H.
They gave dive lessons every day in the pool and took people on diving excursions, I do not know which company they represented.
— hlywud, December 25, 2003

Is Scuba Diving offeres at the resort and if so which company run it.
— Larry Hudson, December 24, 2003

Diana: International brands available but you have to ask for them. Inky: It is a tough place to snorkel, kite surfing capital of the world, your kids will not be bored, catamarans, bogies boards, sail boards and good instructors.
— hlywud, December 23, 2003

Can anyone tell me if there is snokling at this resort? They say they have a dive school, but whatabout snokling? Has anyone taken their kids? Is there plenty of things to keep kids from 11 to 15 busy and not bored? Any other information would be great also.

Thanks..Inky

Awesome pictures. Must admit I was a bit apprehensive after reading the first review posted about this hotel - feeling much better now. We are booked here for a 2 week stay in Feb. In all of the material I have read about this resort it states that international liquor is part of the all inclusive offer - can you confirm this to be true ?
— Diana, December 16, 2003

Some answers
Did not think to take pictures of the rooms sorry, and resort is about 2km maximum to downtown Cabarete. Food at the resort was good and the disco was quite busy but not no noise heard from it.
— hlywud, December 8, 2003

Photo's are nice but what is the rooms like, do you have any pictures of that. The disco, what was the food like. More pictures on the rooms, dining areas, etc....... Thanks. Your coverage on this resort was awesome!!!!!
— Surferguy, December 7, 2003

How far was the hotel from the main part of Cabarete. Was it with walking distance
— James, December 5, 2003

Were their any people at the Disco? Is it always cloudy outside?
