Amazing Wedding Experience

When it came to our Wedding. The Viva Wyndham Crew delivered perfectly. They accommodated all of our requests and the price was very fair in our eyes. We also made sure to be open and communicate exactly what we wanted and we worked together to create a beautiful and fun outcome. Nothing went wrong. The food and production of everything was done very professionally. Just look at the pics!

Dreamy Caribbean Destination Wedding

I got quotes from two other resorts on Grand Bahama Island as well as a few other Caribbean islands and Wyndham Viva Fortuna Beach was by far the best value. Yessy was very responsive and answered all of my questions. My fiance and I visited the resort before our final decision, and the style and atmosphere of the place was just what we were looking for. It was perfect. Except for some issues with the reservation process, our special day was perfect.

Bad photographer (Dr.Love)

The photographer ruined the ceremony by stopping every participant including me while walking down the isle with my dad and kept interrupting during the ceremony. Other than that, it was good.

Beautiful Wedding with minimal effort

Our goal was a simple but nice beach wedding at a relaxing resort that was fun for us as a couple and our children (ranging from 12-23). The Viva Wyndham provided that experience for us with minimal coordination on our part. We listed what was important to us and trusted them with the details and it was a beautiful experience.

2.2 Stars Kicking & Screaming

I will keep this as short and sweet as possible.

If you are considering this resort for your destination wedding as a family-friendly, low cost, option then make sure there is absolutely nothing else in your price range before you commit. You can get a nice wedding from them but you will have to plan, micromanage, and drag them kicking and screaming for it to happen. You’ll trade your money for your sanity.

I don’t plan to dedicate any more time to this place than necessary so I will get to the necessary details, I am sure to forget some. None positive, I can assure you. The private rooms were falling apart. Our first bathroom had pee on the seat and sand/dirt/soaps I’m accumulating in the corners. The first night of our wedding trip we stayed in a room without working AC. It ran, loudly, but did not work. The entire room, including the floors and linens, were wet from condensation. Our room was changed the next day to one that thankfully worked. Things were quiet until our guests started to arrive.

Almost every guest was either downgraded or put into a room in some level of disrepair (AC not working, hot water not working, ceiling or walls crumbling, ground floor double queen when they paid for ocean view king, etc.) That was a stressful lead up to our wedding, thanks for that Wyndham.

I will spare the details of the wedding preparation because they too were handled by the resort and were fumbled disastrously. What I really want potential brides to know is that if it were not for guests of the wedding micromanaging the resort our event would have failed entirely. We provided and traveled with our own decor and faux flowers and friends were encouraged to bring cameras. This saved our event. The few and far between photos you can find online are for a reason, this is low value resort and you’ll get low value service. Attached is the one decent photo provided by resort photographers, I have balanced the color for them as they seem to have forgotten.

The last thing I want to say before I get off my soapbox is that this resort is not Bahamian owned, it is Spanish owned. The lack of investment and pride in their resort is apparent when compared to Bahamian resorts, both from corporate and the Spanish corporate employees in the front. If you’ve visited the Bahamas and are looking for a beautiful location with the warm, welcoming, aura the Bahamian people are known for then I suggest finding one where Bahamian people hold leadership roles on staff. Not only was the place a wreck but it was missing the soul we came for.

Best of luck, future bride. I won’t know what location you ultimately choose but I can assure you this resort was thrilled to see me leave and I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t let you know!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
