We travel alot.We've car camped,stayed at Hostels,5 star resorts,and everything in between. We are NOT overly picky or critical but this place does not deserve a 3 star rating.The check in staff was rude, unfriendly and not helpful and the lobby was full of people who did not look like they were very happy. Now to the room....They put us in a room over looking the trapize and very close to the main bar/night club.The linens were stained/dirty, the mattresses were VERY used and old and uncomfortable, the closet didn't have both doors, only one, and the one it had was broken off it's runner so you couldn't even hang up your clothes, the floors were dirty, the furnature was very beat up, the mini fridge was rusty and dirty and the door wouldn't stay shut at all.They give you one bottle of water with a note to go to the bar to refill it if you want more frest water, the curtains were falling off. The bathroom was bad, bad...There was mold, the sink basin had cigarette burn marks on it, the sink itself was all cracked, there was no toilet paper roll holder, so the TP was just sitting on the counter, there was urine all over the toilet from top to bottom, just gross! And this was just getting in the room, so we called the front desk to tell them what we found and ask for another room and got put on hold and instantly transfered to a voice mail(never got a call back or anyone to check on the room).So my husband went down to the desk to ask for another room only to get the "we don't have any availble" speech, but check with us maybe tomorrow. So we had no choice but to stay in that room. So right outside the balcony was the trapize, pool and very loud speakers with music and constant entertainment people trying to get people to do activities. VERY noisey day and night. So we threw on our suit's and decided to get a snack and drink and go to the beach where we were instantly accosted by people wanting to braid hair, buy this and that, go on a paid boat ride.This is just not relaxing to us at all. So nite came and we went to sleep only to be awaoken by this glass door and walls ratteling from the booming loud music at the club. By the third nite we demanded a different room that was more quite, and it was, but when we got to it, it hadn't been cleaned from the previous people's stay, but once it was cleaned and we could re unpack, we finally got the peace and quiet we had wanted in the first place. The food, when available, was, at best, ettable, very cheap ingredients The high lite to our whole trip was that my husband got a rental car and we were able to leave the resort. I know this is all very negative but it's true. On the positive, the beach was very pretty and the water was warm, some of the bar tenders were very nice and had great personallities and the coffee bar in the mornings was worth waiting untill 8:30am to get a cappachino. We are in our early forties but not big partiers, but not old fuddy duds either, but what we really wanted was to just relax and get some sun.

I was surprised at the good value for money this hotel offers in the Bahamas. The rooms are basic but clean... the food is good though lacking in variety if compared to other all-inclusive hotels I visited. Overall the food and drinks are free if considered the all-inclusive rate is lower than other hotels that doesn't offer all-inclusive.

The day before I arrived they installed a WiFi system to cover all the rooms... Prior to this internet was only available in the common areas... THIS IS A GREAT IMPROVEMENT and elevates this hotel to position number 1 of my list of preferred places to stay while working in Grand Bahamas island!

For business travelers you have to deal with the additional distance to travel daily but its well worth it in the end.

Though this hotel isn't the most luxurious its definitively the best value for money I have found in the Bahamas this far..

We stayed at Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach for 6 days, Feb 11 to Feb 16, 2013. The rooms were clean and some staff where friendly. The food at the buffet was not bad but they took to long to replenished any of the food. If you wanted beer they had to go to the bar to get it. They have two La carte restaurants one was Italian and Asian. The Italian was good but the Asian one was horrible the shrimp was rotten. The beach was nice and to walk on. We made the best out of the time that we were there. I won't recommend this to anyone I know and I wouldn't recommend this to others as well. This is what you get for when your staying at a 3 star resort. You get what you paid for. I have learnt my lesson.

after Nassau, Freeport is really the perfect location to slow down and to enjoy Bahamas. the Viva Wyndham is great pace to stay. food is ok, people are nice, beach is perfect, water activities like snorkeling possible (and inclusive). only one thing: beds are not stable enough for honey moon couples ;-)
