From ArchimedesPrinciple:
We are looking at staying there in the fall when we go. I would love to hear any details that you have to offer
Make all your all inclusive dinner reservations as early as possible! Days in advance!!! If you ask for reservations for the same day or the next, more often than not they’ll tell you they are all booked up. Then you’ll walk by and see half the tables empty? They try everything they can to get you to eat at the buffet. Don’t fall for it! I would not recommend spending the extra money to stay in the Sabor section. While it is very nice, it’s lacking a few things that make it not worth the extra money. They have a swim up bar at the Sabor pool but no bar tender so you have to climb out and walk to the other bar. The other bar isn’t even open at night. Everyone ends up hanging out at the main pool bar in the regular section anyway. They also are very understaffed on bar tenders all over the complex so get used to waiting in line fore your all inclusive drinks. The Sabor section is also a REALLY long walk from the ocean and piers when you’re carrying dive gear. Back to the pools. People tend to go lay a towel on the pool side chairs early in the morning to "Reserve" them for the entire day, so it’s next to impossible to find a place to sit by the pool. Wyndham also will charge you to use their Piers if you’re diving with another shop besides Sand Dollar. Sand Dollar owns the cement pier right in front of their shop on the North side of the property and they charge something like $3 a day to use it. There are two wooden piers to the South of that that are owned by Wyndham but they still even charge you to use them! I will never understand why a resort that’s as big and nice as Wyndham has to charge their paying guests extra to use their pier?
Now for the good things about the place. The property is beautiful. The food at the reservation only restaurants is very good! Try the calamari!!!! The rooms are nice and clean with everything working. And Wyndham is so far South on the Island that it makes your ride to the reefs really short.
Hope this helps!
