    ...Seeing that there were issues from day one they have to be listed: First off, we arrived early for check in and came to find out that they gave us a double-bed room... Upon arrival to the new room, we found that the sheets were covered in mold and the bed was filled with sand... Keep in mind that this is after we were assured that the new room was ready... Then after seeing our disgust, he then said that he would bring someone to the room to pick it up and replace it, which never happened... Third, we found ourselves having to go back and forth to front desk (at least 6 times) to get our room key reprogrammed, because it rarely worked with our door... Coming from hospitality, we are aware of room keys looking the programming from being close to other cards, phones etc... From unfriendly staff to terrible service and poorly maintained rooms, I think it is safe to say that the place is poorly managed...

All the rooms had a shared door that was extremely thin, so you could hear all conversation, this includes neighbors who stumble in drunk at 3 a.m. while you're trying to sleep... Housekeeping was definitely keeping rooms clean, just maybe a bit too much...

    ...We checked in at about 1:30p cause we were told our room was ready, but after we request a room change to be closer cause my friend knees and feet couldn't take the long walk we were given new keys to different room, but the room was not clean, and after 2 hours we was still waiting on the new room we was assigned. The old room key was deactivated with our luggage still locked inside and the bellman was not able to get in to get it... There was know apology, no explanation as to why we were still waiting to get in our room after 2.5 hours... The property can use a lot of upgrades, as I feel our accommodations on the Margaritaville cruise ship was far better than what was offered at the resort...

Access to front beach rooms should be available ( we were refused room 1204 that one lady at front desk offered us because her supervisor told us "it is a restricted room"...but we saw no-one is this room the whole week...) We also wished there was an ATM machine on site so we could give more tips...

It would be better if you took all your money and threw it in the garbage you would have a better time the beach was fantastic words do not describe what it is like there it would take too long... Good luck if you take a chance... They truly don’t even want you there unless you were a VIP member and give them your bank account information...

    Honestly i was dissapointed with the resort because it cost us around 1500$ for a week and it was not the quality i expected from that price... I once ordered caprese salad and it was literally a really a slice of swiss cheese on top of the tomato slices… My experience at Wyndham repulsed me because after my trip i went to Punta Cana occidental(another resort) i paid 930$ for 1 week also and it was amazing, nothing to say... So for 1500$ a week i think i couldve found something way better than that in Freeport or Nassau...

    This hotel is outdated and not well cared for... However, you can not expect more for a 3 star hotel... Chicken and pork are ok. One important thing to mention is that you are not given any drinks for free in your room... If you want water is $1 USD per bottle and $1.5 for a can of pop... They literally force you to buy their bottled water... This is not a 5 star hotel, so do not expect 5 star amenities or food...

    ...Clean, maintained, fun, wonderful beach you can walk quite far safely... They have all kinds of activities during the day and they deliver what is advertised... As well you can get a kayak for one or two, paddle board or a staff member can take you out on a catamaran... All staff we met were great and helpful... If you wish them a good morning you will get one back... Not too many vendors on the beach and they aren't too pushy, which I appreciated... Rooms aren't ready when we arrive in the morning as other guests just left... Pack your swimsuit in your carry on and change in the bathroom and head for the beach with a tasty drink...

    ...We expected a 3.5 star resort and we were pleasantly surprised by a few things... You arrive and end up in the longest line up with a hundred plus others only for them to give you a wrist band and tell you to come back at 3:00 pm to line up again to get your room key…... Management really needs to think of a way to resolve this big inconvenience for their guests... I complained to the manager and he did take my order and got me a couple of drinks himself but honestly it was such a big negative in our trip as every time you wanted a drink there was a line up...

    ...The overall experience definitely exceeded our expectations. The reason I am writing this review, which is my first ever, is initially due to the amazing staff... Upon arrival everyone was so nice and welcoming getting us all setup... We decided to do a dinner on the beach which was recommend by Angelo who we made daily trips back to the front desk area to see and chat with about the resort and get any new recommendations and ideas... He was such a calming and happy spirit we are so glad we were able to meet him... We also worked with Devon at the front desk who had that same positive and happy energy... He helped us pay and get all set up with the private beach dinner and gave us recommendations as well... On day two there was some sort of a payment issue with our booking agent and we met Irela who took on the problem and solved it with a smile and no stress at all... They were all just so amazing including Darren (bellman), Kali and Nelcy... They all had such happy spirits and just ready to accommodate with recommendations and any other requests that were made...

    ...If you are not a member of the Viva club you will get the basic with a very bad service included... If I smile it means give me tips... The girl at the bar serving the cocktails was so annoyed when I asked for 2 lattes... The women at reception told me that if you are not a member you can not access to many of the other amenities like a hot tub in your bedroom etc... Maybe a different island a different hotel with truly friendly staff... The only exception was the guy from the restaurant reservations, he was lovely and very friendly maybe the rest of the staff should learn from him...

    ...However, you can not expect more for a 3 star hotel... Chicken and pork are ok. One important thing to mention is that you are not given any drinks for free in your room... If you want water is $1 USD per bottle and $1.5 for a can of pop... Also, they offer kayaks and botes for free, as well as other sport activities...

    ...I had opted for the birthday package when I booked my reservation, and it wasn't set up when we got into the room. But, Neishia was great and came to the rescue to help us surprise my son!... I really appreciated that she stopped what she was doing to help us... It always makes a big difference when you have staff like her who care about guest experiences!...

    ...Hats goes off to Amy she’s really nice and friendly... Thanks to the tall bartender and the one with the glasses I think he was a supervisor... I think they should help out the rest of their team... A lady told me that I couldn’t take a coffee cup out of the restaurant but the next day I notice she allow someone to walk right out with the same cup without saying anything to them... The staff seems to be more interested in their phones then in the guests We booked the bamboo restaurant... I’ll have to say the dinning staff needs a lot of training... The level of pouring wine is ridiculous... My wife told the sever that she only wanted a little bit of wine and she filled her glass to the rim... I would most definitely come back for the sake of the entertainment staff, the front desk staff, concierge and the lady in the gift store she was really nice and pleasant... She even took the time out to get to know us little bit...

The barstaff were superb so friendly and helpful drinks were in hand within seconds of arriving at the bar... Overall great stay and would definitely return... But please look into your receptionist team to see if you can Improve check in process...

    ...We checked in at about 1:30p cause we were told our room was ready, but after we request a room change to be closer cause my friend knees and feet couldn't take the long walk we were given new keys to different room, but the room was not clean, and after 2 hours we was still waiting on the new room we was assigned... We did presentation and was to be upgraded to a different due to the vacation purchase package and didnt get our upgrade... There's a lot of room for improvement, with staffing and proper customer service etiquette... Somewhat disappointed, however the bellmen help keep us patient while engaging us in good conversations and Kirk was the one the made sure we no longer had to keep waiting and Sirnardo made sure our luggage did get to the correct room...

    ...They fixed that and checked out the gap at the top but didn’t fix.We kept the bathroom door closed and light/fan combo on to keep them from coming in fan vent. We had to go to desk every day asking for towel sets and they were shocked we never had them... One evening the city shut off the water and we had none... We were to receive one water bottle in the room since the water in room isn’t drinkable... We would stand in line for ever while the bartender would fix a ton of shots and drinks for them when all we needed was one drink...

    ...No, the rooms are not perfect ( would need renovation), yes, the sand fleas are hurting BUT every flaw is forgotten when you spend time in the resort thanks to the very kind staff!... You feel very fast very comfortable, because everyone is making you feel great... A big thanks to my yoga Teacher, Michelle, to my aqua-gym Teacher, Amy, I had a blast with you!... Thanks also to the diving team, my husband enjoyed every minute of his divings!... Thanks also to the trapeze team and to all the staff... A special thank you to the supervisor at the buffet who allowed me to take my coffee outside in the morning... Access to front beach rooms should be available ( we were refused room 1204 that one lady at front desk offered us because her supervisor told us "it is a restricted room"...but we saw no-one is this room the whole week...) We also wished there was an ATM machine on site so we could give more tips... Overall a great experience and we will absolutely come back with our family!...

    ...When originally researching taxi vs shuttle, it was difficult to find specific information. We decided to book the shuttle via the resorts help (Forbes shuttle)... It was $22 per person round trip... The shuttle bus was great and we were the only people on it both ways... Small airport, no searching of bags, and our luggage was waiting once we finished customs... The 3 specialty restaurants, 1 buffet and beach front snack bar were very good... Amaury, Blake, Mike, Amy, Michelle, Sara, Silver, Izzie, Paco, Riley, Chaira, Erick, Luis, Manuel, Nadia, Pedro, and the amazing woman who cooked us burgers, hotdogs, etc., everyday at the snack bar!!... We are so grateful for the week at Viva Fortuna Beach and the gracious staff who made it memorable...

    ...From everything to the resort amenities and amazing view to the ENTIRE staff, this resort was a 5-star experience for us. From the second we stepped off the boat and the second we stepped back on the boat to go home, the experience and people were amazingly polite, kind, helpful, knowledgeable, professional and super cute... Starting with Kirklyn (AKA Captain Kirk, The OG) to everyone at the sales desk (Phallon included even though we didn't stay for a tour) as well as the reception desk employees... In addition the bartenders and wait staff throughout the resort were so kind and professional and always smiling... It was a pleasure to see and speak with them every day we were there... The absolute best part of the entire trip was the Viva Resort Team, ranging from 18 years old and up that basically ran the entire resort from the children's activities to the wonderful and entertaining shows at night... Each and every person on this team deserves a raise and lots of recognition: Riley, Flor, Michelle, MaryCruz, Manuela, Blake, Silver, Izzie, Paco, Amaurys and the beautiful choreographer, Sarah...

A quick stroll to the front desk to let them know was all it took and they moved us no problem... My wife uses a mobility aid to get around and the staff was very accommodating... We noticed the first night the AC was very noisy and again I mentioned it to front desk and the maintenance fixed the problem... The bar staff was great and we got our moneys worth from the all inclusive package... My wife added a private beach front dinner the evening of my birthday and that was absolutely the best meal I can remember having... Again the staff was amazing and had setup the table and decorations to make the night special...

    We booked what was supposed to be a 5 star resort but definitely was not... The pool area was very nice but the pool is not heated and some people found it cold...they do not offer wait service on the beach or at the pool so you were standing in line for sometimes 15 minutes to get a beverage... The resort was clean but 3 star at best so know this when you book...

    The beach, the activities, the staff, the rooms, the restaurants and the evening theatre and entertainment are exceptional... They provide guidance and proffer a feeling of confidence while you climb the 20 or so foot ladder and get ready on the platform where you are going to grab the bar and swing on a trapeze and land in a huge safety net... I can't recommend this resort enough for people who want to snorkel, lounge, eat, drink, dance, be merry, be active and try something new!... Also a very clean resort and many very wonderful employees with lots of smiles...

    ...Clean, maintained, fun, wonderful beach you can walk quite far safely. It is the only resort on the beach as opposed to other resorts in Cuba and Dominican where it's one resort after another on the beach, Fortuna will spoil you for that... They have all kinds of activities during the day and they deliver what is advertised... As well you can get a kayak for one or two, paddle board or a staff member can take you out on a catamaran... Good food, drinks, amazing entertainment with after party and disco some nights... OR, be lazy by the pool or on the beach all good at this resort... All staff we met were great and helpful... If you wish them a good morning you will get one back... Not too many vendors on the beach and they aren't too pushy, which I appreciated...

The beach, free non motor activities, archery, picked ball left us with not a moment for my daughter to say I am bored... The food and drinks are great, but don't take it outside as the bees will love it, They do try to keep them away, but bees will be bees... You can book your excursions right on sight... There is also diving and a cave experience as well... The football and pool table equipment is stored at the front desk, but there is no time limit on how long a person can keep these items...

    ...We loved our ocean front room, we were the closest to the ocean you could be! The buffet food is always good and fresh, the a la carte restaurants need to be booked your first morning at the resort for the week if you want to try them... The pool is on the cooler side, lots of seats around it so you won’t need to be up at 5am to get a seat!... The beach and pool area have lots of loungers all day available... You will always find somewhere to lounge and tan!... There is coffee at the main bar to get an espresso or a latte if you want to change up from booze!... There is a basketball court, beach volleyball, paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkelling equipment PLUS activities around the pool all day if you want to participate... The beach is incredible and you can walk for hours on it!... If you are looking to be served all day at this resort this isn’t the resort for you... You have to get up off your bottom to get your own food and drinks….if you’re lazy or want to be lazy book elsewhere!... To sum up the best parts for us…we loved the beach, the animation staff (Amy, Blake, and the others - sorry forget all your names), the main bar staff (we were the ones who wanted “something fruity” ha ha), all the staff speak English, drinkable water, the buffet staff are polite and keep everything clean - these are the reasons our trip was outstanding!...

    We went to the Wyndham as part of a day trip excursion from our cruise. We were hoping to enjoy the beach and use some of the water equipment... The sand on the beach was beautiful white sand... We enjoyed some cocktails and the bartenders were very pleasant even when the line was long... The best option is to stick to the salad bar and water or another cocktail... We then thought we would try the pool and hot tub but the pool was not heated and was very cold... The hot tub wasn't hot and had no bubbles and was the temperature of bath water...

    ...The food and buffet is very good, much much better than expected with a ton of options for all 3 meals, that change throughout the week. The beach is pristine, white sandy beach for miles in both directions as only Freeport can offer... Palm trees provide natural shade above your beach chair which is awesome... The water is great and few beaches I have seen are this nice and long great for walking, jogging and swimming... There is also a ton of included activities, as well as a show, and many great tours such as swimming with dolphins or the pigs!... The pool is perfectly situated next to the beach with many Great lounging spots... The property is constantly maintained…while it is a little older, the overall experience was wonderful and the beach, food, relaxation, and number of activities available make this a great choice for families and couples at a good price!...

    ...I was very impressed; we traveled the week before of Christmas and stayed the whole week... We spent our days laying by the ocean under a palm tree, and our baby napped in the stroller at his usual time under a palm tree shade... He loved splashing in the baby pool, playing with the sand, and dancing every night to the "kids disco" or just the music in the lobby... Me and my husband loved the crystalline waters, the jacuzzi, and the fact that almost all day the staff had games throughout the day... So while he was out in the sea I stayed sipping on margaritas while my baby played in the sand...

This resort had so many people upset with its appearance and lodging accommodations that we collectively met on the cruise afterwards and discussed all of the flaws. 80% of the people looked eager to be back on the cruise ship versus missing the resort’s features. Besides the beach and your company, it’s not the best food, entertainment, comfort, quality, etc.

I had the pleasure of eating at the Viva Cafe while staying at this fun, laidback resort. Let me say that the entire staff is very kind and very mannerable! They treat you like you’re a part of their family. I am a bit of a foodie and having a delicious meal that leaves me content is a priority! My most notable meal experience was at the Viva Cafe! The supervisor, Anthea, was so kind to me. She chose my entire meal selection(s) from the 1st course to the last. Everything was on point - it was almost as if my favorite big cousin who knew me and what foods I love ordered my meal. I was treated to THEE BEST surf and turf I’ve ever had in my life! I’m not kidding when I say both proteins melted in my mouth like butter! The hard part was walking back to my room. I was fuller than a tick on a dog’s back and completely satisfied! Anthea and her staff outdid themselves in ensuring their guests ate well and enjoyed themselves. Good people, good food, good music! What more can you ask for while on a wellness vacation!? I’d eat here again, and I did the very next day!😂 Enjoy!

Great location and easy to get to from the states. Helpful and extremely friendly staff from the minute we arrived on property. Great activities like snorkeling, sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking. Exercise classes like yoga and Zumba (Amber is an amazing instructor and so much fun) Jedd, Frederika, Blake, Julia, Jamie and all the staff provide an amazing interactive experience. The beach is miles long with white sugar sand and turquoise water. Plenty of excursions are available or you can just relax in one of the many chaises on the beach or at the pool.

#Dont Writing the review within the first hour of check in (Day #1). Upon “Free trip” arrival, I was immediately bombarded with a timeshare opportunity, which wasted 2 of the 5.5hrs until check in. After declining the offer, I was somewhat disregarded for any amenities as a normal guest. Entered room: dirty, broken bed (leg missing), dirty, broken full mirror, warped front door, dirty bathroom. #dont

Although the rooms need lot of improvements, the service was excellent. We were a family of about 30 persons with special dietary need, the staff made every effort to provide what we requested . The staff around the resort was very helpful and the activities and entertainment was great. I would rate it close to 4.

The incredible staff is the draw to this resort. Let's start with the entertainment crew. They are absolutely amazing! They are so friendly, kind, energetic, and talented! Being around them is a joy. After just a week here, I cried the last day feeling as if I was leaving my new family. They work tirelessly from early in the morning until late at night with yoga, pool aerobics, games, and fabulous shows in the evening, culminating in an after party until 1 or 2 am. Special shout outs to a fabulous dancer, Julia, great emcees KJ and Daddy Cool, the beautiful aerialists Sabri and Oriana, and the super fun Jamie, Chelsey, Jedd, and Blake. They are all just a wonderful international group of people. From the guest services team, special thanks to Sami and Melina for going above and beyond, along with their manager, Kelvin. And if you eat at the specialty restaurants, you'll be very lucky to get Carol -- the nicest waitress in the biz!! If I have anything to add to their activities, they might want to move some games or other event to the beach. Not everyone wants to be poolside. And the location is ideal. Beautiful beach with the rare beach walker trying to sell something. Maybe add some umbrellas for shade? Now for the negatives -- As other reviewers state, the facilities are beyond dated. While ideally they would close down for a while and completely renovate and improve the infrastructure, I would settle for relatively inexpensive enhancements -- new mattresses and bedding, towels in the rooms that weren't threadbare, updated furnishings, replacing missing essentials like a toilet paper holder, door locks, etc. Change out everything that is stained, chipped and MOLDY. And it would be nice to have the little things most people expect to have in a resort guest room -- hair conditioner, body lotion, shower cap, etc. The food - while some of it was simply awful, it wasn't as bad as some reviewers wrote. But reducing the grease and getting the food hot would greatly improve things. (Why is it cold coming right out of the kitchen to the buffet? Has it been sitting on the counter in the back for an hour?). In addition, it would be nice if there was a true outdoor dining option. Just a personal preference, but I always like being able to sit outside on a beautiful day in the Caribbean, especially for breakfast. In sum, don't expect this to be the Ritz. It certainly is not. But you couldn't find better people working anywhere. And the location is ideal. If the owners put some money into the facilities, this could certainly rival any of the better all inclusives.
