It’s time to get out of the cold and into the warm weather of the island of Grand Bahamas for some rest and relaxation. Find a cozy spot by the pool at an all-inclusive resort like Viva Wyndham or Our Lucaya Reef Village, read that best-selling book you’ve been dying to read, and enjoy a fun tropical drink with or without an umbrella. Escape the daily commute by not having to drive to find a restaurant and leave your computer and phone behind to enjoy what it’s like to be pampered.
There are two well-known resorts on the island, Viva Wyndham and Our Lucaya Reef Village, which offer all-inclusive vacation packages to their guests. An all-inclusive vacation allows the guest to enjoy most, if not all, of the resort’s amenities, such as the pools, snorkeling equipment, sports equipment, and nightly entertainment; the package also includes food, snacks and all beverages, including soft drinks, coffee/tea and alcoholic beverages. The cost of these vacation packages also includes all taxes and gratuities, although it’s always good to tip someone on staff who has gone out of their way to make your vacation a pleasant one.
Each resort offers its guests a unique vacation experience, so choosing between the two can be a matter of price, vacation package, and resort environment. Our Lucaya Reef Village attracts the family crowd where the young and single crowds are drawn to the party atmosphere of Viva Wyndham. Both resorts are located on the scenic stretches of white-sand beaches that Grand Bahamas is known for, and both offer guests a pool and hot tubs, though Our Lucaya has plenty of pools, including a special kids’ pool that has a tower with a slide.
Each resort offers a wide variety of dining venues, so there’s no need to drive to find a place where the whole family can enjoy a meal. The resort’s restaurants serve American dishes that appeal to kids and Asian, Italian, and buffets, all with a hint of island cuisine. Some restaurants may require reservations and a recommended dress code, but for the most part attire is casual.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet vacation getaway, a family winter vacation, or an affordable Bahamas vacation, Viva Wyndham and Our Lucaya Reef Village will fit your needs. Prices for an all-inclusive Bahamas vacation package can vary based on length of stay, choice of room, whether it’s a suite, oceanfront, king or queen beds. To get the most out of your vacation dollars, it may be best to book your vacation with a Bahamas travel advisor.
