“BEST TIME EVER”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

I just had to take the time to write a review of this spectacular island. My fiance and I decided last minute to take a trip... after checking out several vacation spots we decided on Freeport, Bahamas... Let me tell you after reading some of the negative reviews I was a little worried. Upon arriving from Toronto (only a 2 and 1/2 hour flight) I was delighted. Our room at first wasn't what we had requested but they did accommodate us the next day where we stayed for 9 awesome nights. The staff the whole trip were awesome and I mean each and everyone of them.. from the wait staff, the bartenders the entertainers and all of the new friends we met down there. The food was awesome and Chef Manuel does an awesome job and he was very friendly too. Oh and by the way when we were down there we decided to get married. Reverend Reno Smith accommodated us greatly... he met with us on the Monday and did all the paper work... drove us into town to the registrar and guided us through the process, drove us back to the resort and came back the next day at noon and married us on the beach. We had two amazing witnesses that we had met down there... Tammy and Jennifer... thank you so much ladies if you are reading this... as well we had Jim and Wendy, Jack and Diane, Corinne and Todd and other fellow beach goers enjoy our ceremony. Would we return again... absolutely... To Coco, KJ, Hector all the ladies, Ritchie and all the boys.... Thank you Very Much.... Steve and Suzie

Room Tip: We stayed in A2204... King size bed.... ocean view... trapeze view... kitchenette... close to all am...

“Best vacation ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

I was a little worried from reading some other reviews but all worries went away as soon as I got there. Great resort. 11 of us went there and every one had a great time. The rooms are clean, the food is good and the entertainment staff is the best. Every one of them were so nice and friendly. Thanks to the whole group for making it a great vacation.

“Viva Wyndham last minute booking after Groupon ferry from FLL”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

We booked this resort after purchasing the ferry Groupon from Ft. Lauderdale and were not disappointed. First and foremost: Wyndham, please pay your staff more and don't work them to death! They are incredibly hard workers and do an amazing job, practically 24/7. We saw the same staff on duty full time for 2.5 days. Secondly, the entertainment was awesome. The Friday trapeze show was amazing, and the dinner that night was fantastic. Friday night bonfire is so much fun. Saturday dinner and all lunches pretty standard, not great but not terrible. Now the bad - the first room we were assigned to, the cheapest rate at $200/day for two people, was awful. Mattress was old and broken, pathetic really, and sparse furniture needs to be burned. There is no reason that in 2013 a hotel (not a motel) should have a limp flower printed blanket on the bed and nothing fluffy or inviting in a room. Seriously, a Motel 6 would have been better. We walked down the row and saw doors opened as rooms were being cleaned I got so irritated by knowing that better rooms were available and requested the upgrade. Happily, they complied at no charge (the bed was so broken), but really there is no reason these disgusting rooms should still exist. Wyndham: please upgrade all of your rooms to be at the level of A3205. That should be the bear minimum of standard for any hotel where people travel to a remote location and have no other options. Overall, a great trip. Will be booking with Viva Wyndham in the future, probably the DR next time.

Room Tip: Do not get the cheapest room.

“Fun place, exceeded expectations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Like many of the reviewers have already mentioned, your experience here will depend on your expectations. It is not a 5-star resort, but you aren't paying that kind of money for your room either. For the price you'll pay, though, it is a great experience. Drinks are plentiful, the beach is beautiful, and there are plenty of activities to keep you busy. We were there for 2 nights and would go again.

For any divers out there, there is a dive shop that runs daily trips from the resort - a pleasant surprise for us since this isn't advertised on the website. Staff are friendly, shout out to Bernardo, Alice, and Pierre!

“nice resort, aging facilities but great staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

We enjoyed our week here mainly because the location and resort staff are great. Lovely expansive beach, great set of activities with very friendly and accomodating staff. The trapeze team (Lawson, Justin and Iliara) were exellent - very friendly, talented and accomodating! The shows are mainly dance based - for a good eason. The male staff are AMAZING dancers! The circus show was very artistic yet varied - we have seen likely 20 such shows are various resorts and this was the best. The food was average - lots of choice, always salad and fruit. The Italian night was great - large assortment of cheeses! Bar staff is very friendly and accomdating as well - cope well with busy evenings, always with a smile. It is great value for your dollar. The accomodations have been upgraded somewhat especially the bathrooms in the bedrooms, though are still qute basic yet comfortable and fairly large. Great large hot tub! The resort attracts a varied clientele, lots of Europeans and South Americans at this time of year, so it is enjoyable to chat with the other guests.

Room Tip: Most but not all rooms have an ocean view. There are a few rooms that face away from the center of t...
