Other considerations when choosing your condo

The resort is quite big and it takes about 10min to walk across. Depending on your preferences think about your wishes to be close to a pool, playgrounds, kids water park, restaurant, beach area etc.

The pools next to clubhouse and restaurant are normally quite busy with a lot of people and quite noisy even late evenings while the smaller pools are very quiet.

Ground floor units are good if you have difficulties climbing the stairs while the top floor units offers a quite environment as you will not be disturbed by exiting kids jumping around in the unit above. Top floor units also offer privacy when sitting on the balconies.

The Abacos units have bedrooms facing the staircases and it can be disturbing having people walking outside the bedrooms.

The rating system makes the difference:

Every unit is privately owned and each owner is responsible for all upgrading of the unit.

Once a year each condo is inspected by Wyndham's management in order to classify the condo's standard. Through a point system based on about 100 different criterias following  classifications are assigned to each unit:

Platinum: The highest available standard (we are Platinum classified) equals 4-5 hotel stars. Flooring, mattresses, TVs, Sofas, furniture, appliances, kitchen, decoration are things that has been fully or to a large extend upgraded.

Gold: Equals 3-4 hotel stars, most important things like carpets, TVs and mattresses have been upgraded.

Silver: Equals 2-3 hotel stars and just a few upgrades have been made.

Bronze: Equals 2 hotel stars. There are only a handful left within Bahama Bay. To be avoided!
