Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach Resort - All Inclusive Reviews

Under no circumstances should anyone assume they are travelling to a 3.5 star resort when booking this hotel. The room That is advertised is not a standard room and a standard room at this hotel means decrepit, shabby, and in dire need of a reno. The owners of this resort should be ashamed.

We read a lot of reviews that went back and forth about this resort. We took our chances and booked a week there. We arrived at the same time as tropical storm Arthur. With this being said the resort was a mess the day after. It took another day before everything was back to normal. Once the storm and the mess it left was clear, the resort was just as pictured. It has a great beach area if your looking for a natural beach. The beach area has lots of trees and man made covered areas. The pool was kept very clean, and the included water sports were great. The staff for the most part were just going through the motions. There was always trouble getting new towels, for the beach/pool, and the room!

The hotel was ok for a first time visit to the Bahamas. The hotel needs a lot of maintenance work to make it perfect. I didn't like the fact that an all inclusive hotel charged to use an in room safe... Overall I guess my stay was ok, was nice just to get away from home.

The Good: very close to the beach and great food. The Bad: we had to change rooms because the AC in the first room was set at 60 degrees and there was no thermostat lever to raise the temp so it just stayed on all the time, therefore we went to a another room which was good except for the very loud AC. Overall it was a good experience because of the location and food.

The amount of walking and no porter services to carry bags was rough. Dinner was adequate each night. However, it would be better if dining area was air conditioned. Towels and washcloths were hard to obtain sometimes. Viva Café was excellent. No printing from business area. Location is very hot and humid. It was restful and quiet. Nobody bothers you on beach. Room was clean and very well air conditioned. Baggage transport is all on you. Pharmacy on site was good for snacks and drinks. Ice was obtainable only at bar area. You will not check in until 3pm. You may enjoy the location until then but can not check in. It was what I expected for the rate and it was a good rest. Pool was clean and music was always appropriate. Theme nights were nice.

I was a bit concerned about this hotel based on the reviews. However, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I took my 14 year old nephew and we had a great time! The beach is beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable if a bit old. The AC and the hot water were in working order. I paid for a garden view and had a view of the ocean. The staff was polite and attentive. The activities were always available. The trapeze was under repair during our stay but we took advantage of everything else. The pool and hot tub were great. We also went on 2 excursions, one snorkeling and one to Lucayan National Park. Both worthwhile and inexpensive. As expected, the food was just ok. They served a great breakfast and my nephew was happy with the pizza, fries and burgers for lunch and dinner. And the beach grill was a plus for a hungry teenager. I was able to find decent veggies and fish most of the time. Imagine cafeteria style food- pasta salads, steamed veggies, spaghetti, etc. The fresh fruit and desserts were good. And wine was available at the buffet for dinner. The drinks were probably watered down a bit but I was ok with that. The late night pizza was really good. We were not able to make a reservation for either of the restaurants but didn't feel like we missed anything. I wouldn't go here for a honeymoon or the trip of a lifetime, but for a getaway with a laid back teenager, it was great. If you want 5 star accommodations, pay the price and quit your whining!

The staff made a resort hotel that lacked much more enjoyable. Shortage of beach and room towels was beyond laughable as it took over a day.

Very disappointed with my experience with this hotel. It took almost 1 1/2 days to get towels!!! I think they have a shortage or you MUST be a member of their travel club to get good service. Second maybe even third rate service if you are not a member. Food not good..and not a good selection.

Food and overall things are shipped to the island so you should not compare to cancun like some people do. so the food is okay if you think about the difficulty of having everything fresh and nice. If u are going just to enjoy the beach and sun tan i would not recommend viva wyndham bahamas and would tell u to book in the lucaya or even atlantis. But if u are a person that likes to save a little but still have all of the activities like paddleboarding, windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling and other activities for free I mean all inclusive. U should definetly go there and also they have a scubadiving facility inside the hotel that is cheaper.to dive with them and amazing personel. I would definitely recommend.this hotel and will be coming back. Had a blast. And the beach just beautiful.

My husband and i stayed here in june it was a nice beach staff was good too you just have to be polite an they are polite back the food was not bad there are alot of options to choose from. Overall we enjoyed our stay here the rooms were not bad either we had an ocean view room and loved the view.
