Wyndham Royal Vista

Three ladies at the reservation desk talked with each other on and on, pretending I wasn't even standing in front of them, waiting to be checked-in with my arms loaded with bags. Two of the ladies left the front desk area, leaving one lady to check me in. As soon as she started to check me in, she received a personnel phone call, trying to wait on me while carrying on her phone conversation. The hotel sends you a form to fill out in advance to make check-in faster. The reservationist asked me to fill out all of the information a second time, not seeing the original form filled out and in her hand. Finally she hung up the phone, but still was not helpful in giving me the basic information about the hotel: ie where the elevators are, where to park, where the luggage carts are. She quickly disappeared before I had the chance to ask any questions.

Checked into the room and was tearful of the view. Direct parking lot view. Not what I traveled two days for. I traded in a huge two bedroom, south east ocean front unit, gold crown resort on Daytona Beach, with wrap around balcony for this??? I called the front desk everyday asking for a room with even a partial ocean view and was told there were not any available. However, the place looked almost empty the week we were there (unless the people are staying in their units without ever turning on their lights at night). Never even saw but two other people on our entire floor the week we were there.

Other than the view from the room and the long check-in procedure, the unit is very nice, the pool is great, the beds and pillows are comfy, the weather was perfect, all other staff was very friendly.

Would return again only if promised an ocean front room in advance.

We have stayed at Royal Vista the past seven years. Great location and friendly staff. However, the units are showing their age! The dishwasher and clothes washer in our unit needed repairs. The maint. man said the appliances were going to be replaced, but we shall see. They also reduced the amount of dishes and cups in the !br deluxe units. It appears that Wyndham is cutting corners.

Royal Vista comes with only the finest, blue ribbon recommendations. Our family of 4 stayed here December 26, 2008 to January 2, 2009 and we will return in the future.

Unit - Number 4403 Weather - perfect, 80 degrees every day, warm enough to swim in the ocean Room - one bedroom deluxe, full kitchen, washer/dryer, second bathroom, oceanview with deck Staff - friendly and courteous Amenities - great beach, tiki bar with music, pools are clean and heated and a mini-market has everything you need. Fitness Center and business center with Web access add icing to the cake. Landscaping is fantastic. Groceries - Publix Grocery stores are less than 2 miles away. Parking - free and covered in the parking garage Other - beach chairs and cabanas are rented on the beach with a contractor Under the Sun. Under the Sun staff is also wonderful to work with.

Overall, this resort has a great location and is arranged for a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Again, it comes with only the best of recommendations.

Thank you Wyndham Royal Vista!

Great beach. Units are spacious and comfortable. Two bedroom/ two bath unit in building A had fabulous oceanfront views from balcony extending the entire width of the unit. Fitness club nice, but pools are small and crowded. Beach is the better option. Building is beginning to show its age and could use some updating.

Nice wide sugar sand beach right out the front door, lots of room on the beach even on spring break. Volleyball nets on the beach and one of the two pools. Not all units in the B building have an ocean view, we had a north facing balcony with a nice ocean view. If you can get into A building all ocean front! Guests have access to three computers in a room adjacent to the main lobby. Very friendly staff and clean units. First three levels of B building are parking garage. Excellent work out room, 3 TVs, water cooler, and beach view. Good location, Las Olas Blvd. only 15 minutes away, take a harbor tour to see the Venice of America, 3 companies to choose from.
