All together the hotel offers everything you need, however should urgently be renovated. The beach was always full seaweeds. The animation was quite annoying, since the entertainer only stupid comments by. I think for young people or those which on 24 hours animation stehrn, it can have fun. We were two young girls and were several times a day from various staff mentioned, which after a day also annoying. Further us at the front desk the international bazaar recommended, we are for 20 $hang-drive and it was honestly a ruin! There were 3 originally 50 shops open, apart from that ... everything was extinct! Otherwise we were both there, as well as at the beach very obviously marijuana offered. Actually the hotel I can already further-recommend with the instruction, it only to book, if luxury not is very important and be entertained that didn't bother us! If you stay there, you should also snorkeling excursion stream lucaya bay for 45 $-it was really good! read more

The wait for check in we found not so nice-about 10:00 A. M. to the hotel it arrived and had to until 15:00 o'clock at the front desk wait, until we finally the room got. The entertainers are super nice. , every evening we had super shows experienced. The beach is great. The cocktails were tasty, tasty... We have for airport-hotel-transfer circa 100 Euro for 4 people there and back occasion. Locally we would for one way (4 persons) 20 Dollar paid and would have also without long waiting about minutes in the hotel arrived. read more

Very nice location, super food we felt very much at ease! If you in Karibik if one must consider that there always season that means it is possible that that in the hotel the walls were painted or similar, as the hotels not like in Europa in the winter closed. What we in this hotel saw everything was okay the paths and the garden were very clean and our room was good. Our Maid was very clean we had also here nothing to complain about. The only we to criticize had was that the mini bar service 3 times didn't ... work. We complained and afterwards everything worked! read more

We must unfortunately say which we this hotel nobody would recommend.
Actually the hotel has great potential, however will this not been exhausted.
Het strand is direct voor de deur however here no value seat before sitting in it this to keep them clean. It may well be that the washed ashore trash a couple of days at the beach beach chairs and if then times cleared up then times where active balneology prevails. Positive is the enough loungers available are - reserve is not necessary-)
The staff are us unfortunately rather negative as a positive noticed. With complaints ... could the staff at reception not at all way. You were always on the next day comforted and then nothing had happened - guests satisfy looks differently.
To eat I really can't say much. If you don't have high expectations, you will with the food at the buffet be satisfied. Only problem here is if the courts are, then, it took a long time until refilled, or it is just empty. So you should rather early for going out to eat or just the restaurants preoccupy (reservation required) read more

The complex itself is not the newest. In part areas renovated, which partly also managed is however at other Body so poorly executed, that accident by sticking out Nails and sharp edges comes. This went not at all.
The staff are - with exception the front desk - very friendly and tried.
The location is a absolute dream. Directly at the beach, the cleaned daily will. It is possible enough chairs and sun screens available. Great.
The all inclusive-Catering is reasonable. Wide choice, taste and quality okay. There are several theme nights for example Mexican, Italian or Bahamian. Definitely also ... the two restaurants visit, the at all inclusive there are, however must be reserved.
At the end the two big negatives, which is also why no recommendation is declared
- the Handwerkerteam is totally incapable and caused by bungling work seriously Dangers.
- the rooms are old and broken. Mold, Defective, the wardrobes are not usable. Never I will keep my clothes in such a dirty hole beach chairs. The air conditioning is so loud, that you cannot sleep. Plumbing-without words. We had first a room, in which the balcony door didn't close. The thing was so wrong in the holder, that a 5 centimeters large gap at the top end created. Complaint at the front desk. Now a room, the use of the toilet flooded was.
The third room went just as. But also here: lot bed. Everything was old and bugged, mold in the bathroom. Yuck. Terrible.
In case it-why should decide in this complex to be right on that several times massive weight to have a halfway decent room read more

The hotel is old and worn. The bad cleaned rooms (US escorted throughout our stay an empty packet of vorbewohners under the table and is probably in ten years' time there), are Spartan (in the closet stood believe it or not four (!) clothes hangers available) and youth hostel level. The bathroom is ancient, the mountings rusty, partly loose and not replaced. The vent in the bath was eventually developed and not replaced ( hole in the wall). At our last day of vacation was at least worn-out hair dryer in the bathroom replaced.
On worst we found the very ... unfriendly staff ( with exception the boys at the bar), in particular at the front desk. We felt more like a burden instead of as a guest. On the wake-up call on the day of departure we wait for example today still. Partly we found the dealing with guests than harassment (four and a half hours we had to leave for our bad cleaned room wait while later arrived guests your room to refer could do On our request, as this would be possible, we got only surly responses). Our complaint, that in our room one originally probably two curtains missing (you could therefore not really obscure), one is up to our check out not complied with.
Positively mentioned should be are only the great beach ( however is a large number of pool chairs is very old and totally worn out), the absolutely acceptable food and German television ( German wave).
All together no space for a great vacation. read more

the hotel is mainly from America used, the also quickly over the weekend fly in. It is the description for a three star hotel, the rooms are partly renovated, you should a renovated room choose. The front desk was rather unfriendly, the staff apart from that nice and accommodating, especially the barkeeper and entertainers. The two theme restaurants are completely okay, the 'bamboo' less, the Viva CAFE( Italian ) better, the wine is however cheapest mass production. The cocktails were OK! Around the complex is nothing around, the sandy beach however is very clean and you could take long walks. ... Bathed was not so often, rocky in the shallow water, unfortunately partly also broken glass, so definitely bathing shoes dress. read more

The vacation viva Wyndham Fortuna beach in Grand Bahama was simply fantastic, the staff tried the whole day a the stay as beautiful as possible to make, each is in a good mood, no matter, whether in the morning at seven or at two, the food was very good, varied and prepared with love, it is to all nationalities received, the sea is on the doorstep, at the beach more beach chairs and sun screens as guests, an overcrowded dining room, by the pool a little more 'action' by animation but the sea peace. The leisure facilities are great, we ... have not succeeded in 1 week the whole offer to use. The entertainers are great, the shows the evenings shown are breathtaking! The whole day there is entertainment, the however as focused and discreet is that we( people on their honeymoon) us not once disturbed because you just a bit easier if you want to. The hotel is clean, constantly swept, wiped etc. The rooms are clean, towels-, towels-and bed sheets change as often as you want.
As will be back! read more

The Marbella resort we found Caribbean authentic. Nothing to rumedeln, but only relaxation. In the area there was nothing to criticize our opinion. The beach and the area was clean and very well maintained. The all inclusive Arrangement was convinced. Beach bar with barbecue, pool bar with coffee station where it really good cappuccino was. The guests of course too many from the USA and English is the common language. German Travel were rather rare. You can enjoy or angry. At least it was not long-term manned sun loungers. Americans are really relaxed presences on the contemporary scene-at least if ... you on vacation and so was the atmosphere a especially nice Combination of Caribbean and American friendliness. read more

We stayed in the Viva Wyndham Fortuna beach a week. The location on the beach is very beautiful and if the sea is clear (when we were there it was unfortunately only one day the case) It is gorgeous. The hotel has unfortunately very many negative points. The mattresses were worn out, after two nights we had back pains. The food was varied, but unfortunately the hygiene left a lot to be desired. In the restaurant the countless birds fly romp (!) and, the ambience is worse than in a dark deficient and we didn't hear only on the last ... day, and that we really (except so) red might. Service leaves a lot to be desired. The aqueous cocktails at the bar were handed in plastic cups, have never had such a bad cocktail in a All-inclusive-Hotel. The staff at the bar were rather annoyed if you ordered something to drink. The best thing about the hotel bar cappuccino was, the cup was presented in a beautiful. The beach was very nice, unfortunately whole day around kurvten excavator, which allegedly the beach. Why this is not being carried out in the morning, remained a mystery. The worst was the entertainment in the evening, the pool was under the belt and the disco until 2:00 o'clock hammered into the night. An example of mediocre entertainment pleasing? There were randomly selected from the four couples publicity, and this mixed. Then a woman had a strange man, ping-pong ball from the left leg to the right leg communicate. We have seen the very many guests the first and the last time in the evening entertainment was present. But some more positive to the conclusion, the snorkeling gear at the hotel-sport center is absolutely wonderful. The first is even free, and snorkel from the second per person €35. Equipment is included in the price and we even saw a baby shark! Viva Wyndham Fortuna beach however, we will never again visit. A Shame! read more

We were after a preset route through Florida, we had changed individually (upgrading of 4-5 stars on 3-4), four nights at the Viva Fortuna beach. This was booked with FTI and in the catalog 3.5 stars.
When we arrived at noon we were already disappointed, as the room was not available before 15 o'clock. The local tourist guides (spoke German in fragments, but very good English) was very good, our mood fellas.
So there was only a so called pre-check-in and around the arm bands the compulsory.
Our subsequent food in the large restaurant (high dome building made of ... wood, open construction, no air conditioning) reinforce our disappointment. Despite a rich buffets, we had the impression, that you here the hostel than standard unrelated. Far better were the stays in the AL la carte restaurants (1x Asian, once Italian), but you could visit by prior arrangement only. A reservation was only for the next day, since there was already booked! The kitchen was well balanced in the quality, the atmosphere was very neat (tablecloths, air conditioning, pleasant light.). You should, if you don't have to be American fast-food fare, chicken and French fries preferred, in each case right on arrival vorordern. It is well worth it.
With facilities and quality of the room was, even though the bahamesischen reduction in processing, maintenance and facilities in mind, I think that these rooms have their best time behind itself. It originated as they were from the creation of the area in 1993. Although we were in a superior ocean-view room we had booked, we had this impression. The view of the ocean was off to the side and admittedly, next to the beach itself certainly the best in this area. The bathroom was stained walls, a miserable processed, tiled shower, a precarious, wrong standing toilet and made a very unkempt, and approached (at the entrance of the hotel area saw but we also renovated bathrooms in the rooms, the main buildings side). The room decor was sparse, the closet for the storage of clothes useless. Also a refrigerator in the closet however much the reservoir. The doors were also rather improvised. A safe is available against fee (3 $/ day) available. A simple but well-functioning hair dryer was also, as you also by American hotels, ironing board and iron were available. A towel change took place every three days, on request and notify the front desk also often. The towels were small and already very used (thin). The toilet flush was broken and ran constantly. We had lodged a complaint with the room lady and maintenance, but it was repaired not. That does not fit in with the otherwise proclaimed 'green'. For our room with 4-er allocation we got in the room, despite the lady just a washcloth!
Beside blue furniture (tv cabinet with CRT tv and three drawers) there was a small desk with chair. The desktop had already seen a lot, the surface of the blue paint was worn and felt sticky on. The beds were big enough, but were obviously from the original. Accordingly the. Next to the bed sheets, there was the obligatory 'Brown' ceiling, the You see, that the high-I do not know!
In total, you could award the rooms in this condition of the category 1A maximum two stars hotels. If that doesn't bother you, the read on.
The location of the hotel directly at a very beautiful beach section (Fortuna beach) far away from all places in Grand Bahama was definitely the highlight. The beach made a neat impression-beach Angespültes average of the ocean every morning was removed with a large machine. On the beach there were beach chairs and umbrellas, as well as shady shady palms and trees. Unfortunately prevailed-despite rather American and above all Italian occupancy-the reservation with towels and personal belongings anger. If you are looking for eight hours are not yet set his territory, one needed on a shady place at the beach hope. I see this as an urgent need, that the management intervention, because many selection around despite the day on vacant. In a clearly marked areas were also for the members of the attached Vacaction clubs provided, they were comfortable and with thick cushions. On the beach were all non-motorized water sports-definitely a great thing. Other (diving, Wasserjet, etc.) for a fee you could book.
Furthermore, there were between the beach and the swimming pool, a beach bar, in the you all inclusive all drinks (lots of rum-containing alcohol, but also all cold soft drinks-also hamburgers and hot dogs).
Between the main building and beach there was a pool, as well as some isolated protected with a spa tub. The pool seemed a bit old and in the afternoon not later than a pure impression (sun, sand, ship egos ENE drinks and what you might lose in the course of the day.) at the pool there are four large sun screens, which were superb. It was not possible, at the pool on a sun lounger to get a shady spot. As usual in these plants obviously, from morning till about 5:30 P.M. was at the pool there was constant-one likes it or hate it you.
Towels were concluded after a strict schedule 1 towel per person on presentation of a hand towel card. The change was possible, but in the case of repeated change per day not gladly seen and comments. These towels came from opening of the hotel? We could win this impression.
Other facilities of the hotel were functional, the toilets were currently under renovation. The shops were okay and offered the bare essentials, what might be needed in addition to the all inclusive. As mentioned above, the two noteworthy Al la carte restaurants from the otherwise it unimaginative mass out!
The resort itself is Spartan laid out, concreted paths lead to the rooms divided into blocks and houses. A few shrubs and palm trees to relax on the large lawn. The houses have external hallways-can dry according to the restaurant or on the desk-and Yes, it rained often, as for the region and the just usual is Daylight.
The activities and entertainment has noticeably a high priority. But it wasn't pushy, so that everyone can decide freely. The evening program was without a doubt the highlight in a performance to be Cirque du Soleil--really very good choreography and execution. Other programmes were also good but certainly not to everyone's taste. All in all, the team tried hard, the guests everything, you have to praise!
Yes, what remains exactly: the service!
What do you expect, if you take the Bahamas? now, you were served friendly here and there, otherwise the people simply do their job. Is there a tip, there is perhaps a smile back. overall, many employees made an untrained, some of which are very lazy-Thank God there were exceptions. Management was clearly visible, but didn't seem to interfere in the substantial errors.
The guest service was at all times, the front desk appeared to be formally, mechanical and unfriendly. A shame, because this is exactly our first impression was!
So we will not go back, would in future look carefully and be rates, a bit more comfort and are used, from this area. It is also a good place for young people, in order to make 'party' and all around full to eat and Vollzus. fen. All in all, there are few German (which isn't bad at all) and I guess 40% Italians, to this resort seems geared. Not bad, for goodness, you should know it only. read more

To stay and 'packed' suitable Hotel

The hotel has its best years behind it seems decades and is not at all as regards maintenance Western standards. It is in my opinion just a place to stay and 'packed', as the predominant number there encountered US American visitor with often extreme above average BMI-does. This unsatisfactory sight may even the few, feschen Italian /-inside hardly compensate.
The air conditioning because of their age and almost historic related corrosion didn't deserve its name, it supports almost chilled air into the room, combined with considerable noise that, so don't forget ear plugs.
The condensation from the air conditioner in ... the room above dripped continuously on the balcony, the sheath of the concrete is already visible and corroded.
The bedding was rather rarely changed, and if nevertheless, then from right to left.
Is the pay Internet access over several days not available.
The interior is filthy, the curtains were partly torn down, the fridge is outside and inside rusty, the lamp is completely rusted, the mirror was partly blind, the overhead is Rusty.
The rooms are very badly sound-isolated, there is a big gap hiss of the connecting door of any two adjacent rooms, this door rattles besides, if in the neighbouring room doors are open.
The room cleaning was adopted it in their job not sure, it did during my 12-day stay, the nail leftovers on the balcony to remove.
The front desk was basically friendly and partly tried hard, to solve problems.
The entertainment program, theatre and disco are OK, the quality of the food is OK.
The security is given.
The hotel's own beach is less romantic. It is better, to rent a car, and the beautiful beaches to explore.
I would prefer in the future a couple €more and get a suitable standard.
