Everything was great except the Room and Food
We arrived on a saturday and from the beginning noticed the room had a great view of the beach but didn't seem like it was cleaned very well. The dining places are very bad! Nothing that was offered was very tasty and most of the time was cold. The staff walking around did a great job providing activities and were very nice. Our room was located right by the main bar, not a problem but for some reason at 9 am for three days they decided it was a good idea to perform construction upgrades to the room next to us and jack hammer concrete in the storage room two doors down. I asked the customer service desk why they were doing that at that time and if I could change rooms. They did nothing! Told me a manager would come and speak to me. Nothing ever happened they never came. I kept asking for something to be done and no one could help me. It got to the point when the guest services desk called to see how the room was I brought up the concerns of the jack hammering. He said "but there is nothing wrong with the room though" I couldn't believe he didn't care at all. I stated that I was not happy with the room and would like to change and he said he would look into it. Overall the room had a great view and the beach is very nice. They have plenty of activities to offer for everyone. I recommend the snorkeling for sure it is beautiful. The Food offered was terrible, everytihng was made out of hotdogs! Not kidding from breakfast to dinner most of the meals consisted of hotdogs. The place is run by kids so be prepared for that. Oh yeah the bartenders are awesome there. They were always having a good time and very good with the patrons.
The Viva Fortuna was a great value and a lot of fun.My woman and I only did a 4 day trip and only wanted to lay by the beach or pool and eat and drink.Well let me tell ya...that's exactly what we did.And this place is perfect for it.The bartenders we great,they made great drinks that were tasty and potent as well.
The food at the buffets was good ...not great..but plenty of options.And the burgers and dogs at the beach bar were wonderful.I did a little snorkeling.But like I said..I was there to party and relax.This is a great place for it.
Had a blast at this resort & it was everything we could of wanted for a vacation.. Relaxing, yet something going on at all times for those who want to dance, do zumba, contests, beach parties... it was great. Highly Recommend this resort & booking through Cheap Caribbean! Will be there again for sure!

A work in progress
Needs to to be updated.
But much work was being done while we were there. So give it another year before booking here.
The two restaurants were very good, but the buffet was so so to poor.
Wine selection stinks.
No room service.
Nice sand on the beach but no sand inside the water, it is all hard coral
with chunks of coral rock all over.
If you like to snorkel you can do that right from the beach because of the coral that is there, there is a lot of tropical fish to see.

In the Bahamas...I stayed on Paradise Island (The Rui and Paradise Island Harbour All-Inclusive Resorts) are good. My mom and I felt safe. No problems at all. We spent all last week there.
Paradise Island Harbour is an older hotel but the food was good, room ok, alcohol, good. It was quiet at the beginning of week but got busy around Thursday night.
We left on Saturday (travel Tuesday to Saturday). We had a blast!

Hi there,
I just got back from a trip to the Jolly Beach Resort in Antigua (which is an all-inclusive resort). It was an EXTREMELY safe resort. There were security guards at the entrance so that no one could get into the resort who didn't belong there. Not once during the entire trip did I feel even the slightest bit unsafe. The beach is private (with the exception of a couple vendors trying to sell jet ski rides and they very easily accept no as an answer and then leave you alone). Outside of the resort, there is a Harbor (Jolly Beach Harbour) which has a lot of nightlife (bars, restaurants, boardwalk, etc.) and it was a very "hoppin" area and also very safe (it is literally about a 5 foot walk from the resort. As soon as you leave the actual resort entrance, you are immediately at the start of Jolly Beach Harbour. I did not venture anywhere else in Antigua, but there are parts of Antigua that you will see from the ride from the airport to the resort that are poor (but that is to be expected).
I did not travel alone to this resort, but I did meet a woman (in her mid-40's) who traveled alone and really enjoyed the peace & quiet if that was what she wanted on a particular day, or she joined in all the fun and met other people (Jolly Beach Resort hosts a lot of activities every day to keep people engaged and having fun)!!
I hope this helps!

Viva Wyndham is very all-inclusive. Do not go here if you are a gourmet or picky eater, as their focus is not food. We felt safe here, but watch your belongings on the beach, as some small thefts occurred there. The activities are great! You will love it if you are an active person. If safety is your main concern, check with the US Embassy in the Bahamas for accurate information.

Carol, I've been to Viva Wyndham Fortuna twice now. This is a secured facility - all inclusive, so no need to venture out. The beach is beautiful and the staff is very accomodating. I'm planning yet another trip there. Can't wait!

It was very safe and all inclusive drinks were a MAJOR plus. The food is so so but the nightly pizza is AMAZING!

Don't go to this resort!!!!! The food is not that good and the dining hall is only open certain hours. Very run down and lots of things in the rooms don't work...like the AC. Poor customer service.

Myself and a girlfriend stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe in Jamaica. It is listed as family friendly although there were many couples and loads of clothing-optional European families and couples on the beach (there is a clothing-free section far away from the family area if that's your thing which the French/Dutch seemed to ignore :). We felt safe always, had fun dancing in the clubs with the locals. The food in the buffet was very good, wine at extra cost was horrid so we just asked for and received extra "floaters" on the mixed drinks and bartenders obliged. It was not peak season but we still made sure to stake our spots on the beaches and pool areas early. The restaurants were hit or miss (the Italian was AWFUL, the continental was good). Had a massage at the spa and it was right up there in quality with the spas at the Fairmonts we've been to. The room was very nice-I negotiated an upgrade with CheapCarib based on comparison shopping with Expedia, received it, and the room was bigger than expected and nicely appointed. Had a few minor housekeeping issues that were resolved by a housekeeping manager right away, courteously and were kept up with thereafter. They obviously cared about our pleasure with our stay. The grounds are immaculately maintained. I did not like that the pools closed at dark, but it also keeps it quiet in the evenings and there is the beach if you must get wet after dark. We went at the end of June and it seemed a good time to go- not peak, post Spring Break. The staff were all typically good-natured Jamaicans who were ready to assist and strike up honest conversation. The beach is manmade mostly and not the best one I've been to but not the worst either and as a girlfriend trip we did really enjoy it. Transportation was included to the resort, and I even got my "rain" credit - it does rain in the Caribbean about every afternoon that time of year but it's also a welcome respite from the heat and sun and passes quickly. Overall I felt the resort was better than the three star rating (3.5, not a four) and the value for the money was definitely there. We weren't looking for a singles type place and I think we were the only women there who went as a pair - in other words you certainly won't find a date there, but if you're just trying to get away on your own, this is a nice place to do it.
Momx3
Well I stayed at the Viva Wyndham Fortuna resort in Grand Bahama Isalnd I would defitniely stay there by myself. EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE is super friendly. I left my do not disturb sign out front and they did just not not disturb. They left my towels by the front door and it was great. If you are looking to relax this is the place. By like 10pm most places are closed in the lucaya marketplace except for the restaurant and few bars. I would recommend this Viva or Radisson at Grand Bahama Island.
Shylilith18
My 21-yr-old daughter and I went to Viva Fortuna Beach on Grand Bahama Island last week and found it to be plenty safe for women on their own. The resort itself was very safe and everyone was friendly. Whether or not you like it depends on what you are looking for - this is a family-type resort and not a place to find single men. We felt plenty safe in town (Port Lucaya) at night, as well.

Viva Wyndham at grand Bahama island was great. The resort is not busy with lots to do and and we felt 100% safe with 3 kids. The resort is away from town and all on it's own which makes it great.

I have a toddler who loved the baby pool at the Viva Wyndam in Grand Bahama Island. The water is warm most of the time however but perfect for small babies & toddler. There's no shade near the pool area so cover babies up well or they'll burn.

There were a lot of kids at the Wyndham, they have a Kids Club so I would say its a great place for kids. They do have a kids pool and some of the evening shows are for families. Shows like "The Lion King."

Grand Bahama Island is a distance from Eleuthera Island. When searching the internet, there was no information available for a ferry between these two islands. It appears a flight would be the best transportation between the islands. If you are looking to be close to Eleuthera Island, your best option is to stay in Nassau or Paradise Island.
MariaCC
You would be closer if you to Eleuthera if you stayed in Nassau.
2nd2None
No ferry from here at all. Stay at Nassau for this. You at not near any shopping here. We had to take a 15-min taxi ride to Port Lucaya which was $30 round trip.
Punjab
THERE IS NO SHOPPING OTHER THAN A STRAW MARKET AT THE CASINO ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY
SNOOP
Ten minute taxi ride to downtown shopping. I dont know the ferry answer.
harsh
Not close to any downtown shopping or any shopping anywhere. Never been to Nassau so not sure if it would be better.
Lessness
Not sure about the ferry, but there are two main shopping centers near the resort. About a 10 minute cab or car ride. Not really walk-able. We rented a car and drove around the island and went to the shopping centers then. Viva Wyndham Fortuna is a little distance from most of the other resorts which is nice because you have a bigger, more secluded beach. It's still very close to downtown Freeport, though.

Hi Joyce--
The water in the Bahamas doesn't differ too much from the Caribbean waters further South. Typically, it ranges from 84 degrees in the Summer, but rarely falls lower than 72 degrees in the Winter.
LaurenCC
The pool water is warm during the day because of the sun and moderate when the sun goes down. The beach water is similar.
Dubblegz
It was about 80 degrees

not cold but not like bath water.

The pool water is warm, don't expect it to be cool & refreshing b/c it's not. The beach water same, warm & I'm sure much cleaner than the pool.

water temperature is typical for Miami at this time of year. A little chilly at first but you get used to it after a few minutes and then you don;t even notice it.

Depends when you go. We went a February (winter) and it was a little chilly, but not too cold to swim.

The ocean water in February was in the 70s. It felt a little chilly at first when you first walked in, but was nice once you were in.

what are your rates for single travelrs to the Bahamas?2 answers
5 months ago
e
When pricing out a trip as a single traveller, simply change the number of passengers to one. The website automatically defaults to 2 pax (or double occupancy). The rule of thumb is that one person paying the single supplement rate pays about the same price for the room as two passengers paying double occupancy rates. Of course, many of our proprties have wonderful packages with very competitive pricing for single travelers.
ccsusan1
We only paid $750. In retrospect, I would pay more for better quality.

CheapCaribbean does offer many excursions that you may pick from prior to your travel. You may also wait until you arrive in destination as they will have vendors on the property who provide excursions as well. Unfortunately, we do not have any information on what excursions are provided when you arrive.
DanielleCC
Yes there is a lot to do! They have a table dedicated to excursions they are very helpful!

beach parties, kayaking, shopping and site seeing
longtall
We just came back from there and there was plenty to do. Snorkeling, windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, volleyball, bociball, soccer, pingpong, foosball, swimming pool, hot tub, etc. all of which were free. We went to dolphin encounter which was great. Deep sea fishing we caught a wahoo and the chef at the resort prepared it for us at no charge and it was so good. There are lots of other excursions to do but wait till you go to book because it will be cheaper and you can check the forecast after you get there to choose the best weather days.. There is also dance lessons and aerobics by the pool every day as well as bingo where a few bottles of Bacardi rum are won every day.

There are so many options once you get there and the staff is very helpful if you have questions. My husband and I rented a car for a whole day for only $50 plus gas. We had a great time exploring the island. Cabs are available to pick you up or the rental service is right in front of the hotel. We chose not to do any other excursions (we just loved sitting on the beachs and there was unlimited sailing, snorkeling, parasailing and kayaking on the beach) but there were many brochures there in the lobby with info on them. Hope that helps!
Rleaman
DO NOT BOOK BEFORE YOU GO! There are many excursions that you can book once you arrive and many times you get a different price, whether more or less. And, if you book at the resort, you are more likely to get transportation included in the fee so you don't have to pay additional costs.
littlelouwho
you can borrow bicycles at the resort and take a ride into Port Lucaya to the marketplace and straw bazaar...totally flat terrain, takes about 45 minutes.
rent a car for $50 per day and drive to the Nat'l park which has beautiful beach.
Wednesday night is Fish Fry at Taino Beach...either take a taxi or drive using the car you rented earlier that day :)
The excursions on the site were also offered at the hotel...same prices so if really want to do something, book in advance for 10% discount.
Swimming with the dolphins was definitely worth the $$ - great experience for all.
minboston
There is a concierge who can assist with excursions including fishing, jet skis, and cave viewing to name a few. Everything is available if you wish.
MrNational
There are some great trips available. Would suggest booking through the hotel ... they have an abundance available. One of the trips we booked online was cancelled by the time we got there and it took some time to get a refund.

when we stayed at the Viva Wyndham we were there for 4 nights. We made friends at the resort who rented snorkel and fins and had a wonderful day snorkeling. They said they went right off the beach at the resort and saw lots of really neat things. (barracuda, sting ray, clown fish) we did try out the trapeze at the resort (which is harder than it looks!) but the other days we had excursions booked. we went on the "Robinson Cursoe Booze Cruised & Snorkel" our captain was William, i would recommend him. Another day we did the UNESCO Dolphin Swim, which also did not disappoint. We booked all or our excursions before we left though bestonbahamas.com, Just make sure you book your excursions for Freeport Bahamas, because that's where the Viva Whyndham is. On our other free day we went into town and shopped the small straw market. It's not as large as the one in Nassau, but we found the souvenirs we were looking for. If your looking to do a specific thing, i recommend booking it before you leave. They offer the same excursions at the Wyndham, but the availability is much less because most of the excursions are already booked and full.
Bekki
your correct that you need to leave the resort for other activities, like shopping, bars, restaurants, the casino are all down at port lucaya, about a 10minute taxi ride.
most of the excursions are water activities and the hotel can book that for you or check online for them. i went to best on bahamas to check for tours. freeport is a quieter island compared to nassau. i don't think i would go back there even thou i had alot of fun but the hotel doesn't offer much to do if you just want to hang out there.

On CheapCaribbean.com's web site and the resort's own web site, it does not list the resort as a strictly non-smoking property.

I think everyone except me was smoking there-I don't know about smoking in the rooms-I did not detect a smell in the room & ashtrays were on the balconies of the rooms.
sunseeker3100
No it is not, although smoking is not allowed in any of the restaurants and there are smoke free buildings of rooms.
Islandwanderer
yes and no. The rooms seemed to be non-smoking, there were no ashtrays inside of the rooms, nor did it smell, as a smoking room does! all of the rooms have balconies, so if you're a smoker, you could always go outside. Also, there were a few guests smoking cigarettes outside of the bar in a small area set off to the side. The smokers seemed to interact well with the non-smokers, they were not rude or obnoxious & the cigarette smell was not abundant. Remember, this resort is right on the ocean & there is constantly a wonderful breeze.
Bekki
The only smoking I seen was outside and very little at all. I hate smoke and had no problem there at all with it!
Tom57
We just got back from there. There is smoking allowed. There are designated non-smoking room buildings and the restuarants are non-smoking. Smoking is allowed in the bar.

I have acouple of question. 1- how far is duty free shopping? And how much of a fee is it for the in room safe ?8 answers
2 months ago
kconger
There are multiple shopping areas located a short cab ride away. We suggest speaking with the concierge's desk for information on the best places to visit and for a reputable cab company, as they can call a taxi service for you. There is a fee for the room safe, however you would need to check with the resort directly regarding the specific fee amount.
KristinCC
shopping is about 10 min away. cab ride is $15 a couple or $5 a person if you have more than 3 riding, thats one way.
room safe is free, you enter a code to open and close. the safe is small
Stacu
Q: how much is it for the room safe ?
A: $15.00
shay2012
Duty free shopping is in Port Lucaya which is about a 15 minute and $15 taxi ride from the resort. You need to go during the day as the shops are all closed by 5pm. The in-room safe fee is $3 per day but we complained and they gave it to us for $10 for the 5 days we were there.
cocktailtime
Shopping is a $15.00/2 people one way taxi ride away. No options, shuttles, etc. Its worth it to get better food.
No charge for use of safe in room.
JFRtraveler
shopping is about 25 minutes by bike and 10 minutes by taxi. the taxi will cost you $15 one way. the safe fee is 3 dollars per day
vacay2012
Duty Free is available in the Freeport Airport as well as at the Lucaya Marina which is 15 minute taxi ride.
The room safe is free.

Port Lucaya Markets are about 10 min away, maybe less... its a $15 taxi ride each way. The room safe is $3/day

Beer good. Wine not great. Although the hard alcohol was not top shelf the bartenders are good mixers and the drinks come out beautiful and delicious. I did not get a "cheap alcohol" hang over so it couldn't have been that bad.
afternoontea
not sure about the beer. Cheap rum
kimklg1
Anything you want (except very high end). They offered any mixed drink you would want, plus specialty cocktails. The wine was from a box, but truly not bad. I have no idea about the beer.
Anonymous
They only have 2 beers, local beers I didn't try them, I know they have wine but I'm not a wine drinker but liqours they have just about everything.
wesker
There is no top-shelf liquor here. They have a drink menu that is mostly drinks made w/ rum. Expected since it's the Caribbean. Mainly Bahama Mama's, Rum Punch, Mai Tai's, Long Islands, Pina Colada's, etc. They do serve two tap beers. Banks and another. Wine is not their strong point. Only ordered it once. Overerall our trip was good and the drinks flowed daily. Pretty tasty too.

All inclusive is everything.. There is constantly food to eat.. you can make reservations at the 2 restaurants on site (make them in advance) They cook out by the pool sometimes during the day or at night. ALWAYS plenty of food! I didnt have my money on me at all at the resort. Your tips are included, but we left money at the end of the week for those that we met and really liked. But thats optional. The room, beach chairs (under tiki huts- plenty of them avail.) Beach towels, alcohol, bicycles, snokeling (awesome, must try) kayaking are all included.. You really will not need to carry cash on you at the resort.

Number of people...2 answers
There will be four of us - the wife and me plus two grandchildren, a 3 year old boy & a 15 year old girl.
They are not brother/sister, but cousins. There was a time when they could share a double bed, but those days are gone, even down South where we live~!! So, is it possible to get a room with a double bed and two singles or a roll-away or some accomodation for the two grandchildren.

Fort Walton Beach, Florida
The standard room is available with one king or two queen beds. Typically, a room with two queen beds does not have enough room to accomodate an additional rollaway. Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee any special room requests as they are subject to resort availability at the time of check in.

i know they had rollaway beds there... There are rooms with two double beds, but i am not sure about 2 doubles and 2 singles in same room

Viva Wyndham Fortuna All Inclusive Beach Resort houses 276 rooms, each featuring island-inspired decorative accents and equipped with air-conditioning, satellite TV, hair dryer, bathroom with shower, in-room safe (surcharge) and balcony. Cribs available on request.
What sets this Wyndham resort apart from others is first-class entertainment. The trapeze act sends chills down your spine, and the juggling will have you shaking your head in amazement.
What We'd Change
The two a la carte restaurants are popular, so seating is not always available when you want it. You can solve this little issue by making reservations when you check in.
Why You Should Go
In one word, value! Bahamas hotels are expensive. The Wyndham Fortuna Beach rates are half the price of other area options, and it's the only entirely all inclusive resort on the island.

Hotel Description
Fly on the Trapeze at Viva Wyndham Fortuna
Whether soaking up rays on a secluded, white beach or learning to fly on the trapeze, you'll cherish your time at Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach Resort. From the moment a friendly staff member greets you with a welcome drink at check-in, you know you've arrived at the only entirely all inclusive hotel on Grand Bahama Island.
The Viva Circus dazzles each night with daring acrobatic feats. If you like what you see, sign up for trapeze lessons or join a juggling workshop. Another option for sultry Bahamian nights is the Viva Show, which brings together music and dancing, plus thrilling magic and colorful sets.
Water sports are big here, and you can kayak in the blue waters or try riding the waves on boogie boards. Perhaps you prefer to catch wind while sailing or windsurfing. No problem: all these water sports are included! For additional fees, you can take PADI scuba-diving lessons at Viva Diving, go kite boarding or jetskiing.
All this activity will have you ready to stop by the beach bar for a sandwich and pina colada. When the setting sun ends your day on the water, tear into the buffet at the Junkanoo Restaurant. Or, if you prefer, grab a pizza at the Viva Cafe or won tons at the Bambu Restaurant.
The 26-acre Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach Resort, with date palms, hibiscus and birds of paradise, is ideal for tying the knot. Romantic brides can have a torchlight wedding on the beach, a gazebo ceremony or exchange vows in a lush tropical garden. Contact the hotel for reservations.
There's nothing quite like sunrise over the Atlantic, especially from the comfort of island wicker on a private balcony. Each of the hotel's 276 rooms reflect the colors of island flowers. The marble floors, all-cotton sheets and inviting decor create a Caribbean retreat.
Looking for something beyond the all inclusive features of the resort? You can arrange a tour of the underwater caverns at Lucayan National Park or set an appointment to swim with the dolphins!
