The Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach, Grand Bahama Island`s only all-inclusive
resort, has completed Phase I of a $2 million renovation. Reflecting the
serenity of Caribbean, the Phase I completion includes the interior
renovations that dramatically transform the resort`s 276 guestrooms, the
exterior grounds have been enhanced and new amenities catered to families
and leisure guest have been added.

In addition to the refurbished guest rooms, the renovation includes a new
free-standing building for the Viva Wyndham`s Kids Club, a children`s
swimming pool, a Jacuzzi and resurfaced walkways. Through the recent
strategic alliance with Wyndham International, the Viva Wyndham Fortuna
has incorporated Wyndham brand standards and numerous upscale amenities
aimed at enhancing guest comfort and convenience including the Golden
Door(R) Bath Care Collection in guestrooms and upgraded pool standards
such as comfortably- cushioned pool lounge chairs and plush towels.

“These upgrades are the result of our continuous efforts to provide our
guests with the services and amenities that they desire in a setting that
allows them to relax and rejuvenate,” said Ettore Colussi, president of

selecting the design components and updating the interior and exterior
areas to create even better vacation experiences and exceed the needs and
expectations of our guests. We are confident that our guests and friends
within the travel community will be quite pleased with the outcome of the
Phase I renovation.”
With color schemes, new furniture, soft goods, bathroom fixtures and
lighting, the decor of the refurbished guestrooms combines tropical and
Caribbean-inspired style with a colonial plantation flare. Guestrooms will
feature the Golden Door(R) Bath Care Collection, a selection of body
products, including shampoo, conditioner, after-sun lotion, lip balm,
shower gel and body lotion, inspired by the renowned, Wyndham-owned Golden
Door in Escondido, Calif.
