Hello Jim. Help! I am worried about this being a good place for us to stay!! I see so many conflicting reports. We just need a vacation. I want to visit sights on the island, but it seems as if we'll have to travel by taxi everywhere! What activities do you suggest? We are definitely swimming with the dolphins...what else?? |

| Does anyone have a telephone number or email address for CVF? I booked our trip through an agency and want to contact the resort directly for a special room accommodation. Appreciate your help...Thanks |

| Planning on going in December, are you familar with the weather then? Also is the dolphin swim included in "inclusive". We have a six year old and the agent I spoke with mentioned babysit services in the evening being included, I have worries about leaving is there staff really reliable. My husband and I also golf do you know approximately what green fees and cart run? Sorry I have so many questions but trying to talk him into it, I'm ready to go!!!!!Thanks Amy |

Joe: We discovered your sight quite by accident while searching via GOOGLE and want to express our appreciation for your efforts. We have never cruised nor visited anywhere outside the USA. When CVF was suggested as a less-expensive and all-inclusive spot for a 3 night stop-over during our up-coming Florida vacation, I tried in vain to get web info about it. Our tour agent raved, but then I read some of your guestbook and forum comments and became a little concerned. Have you personally found it necessary to tip? If so, how much? What is a reasonable amount to expect to be charged by a cab to take us from the airport to the resort? Thankfully, I am an eternal optomist and my husband and I are friendly and people oriented. Perhaps this will help us avoid the 'rude staff' syndrome others speak of in their comments. We will be visiting CVF Sept 10 thru Sept 13, 2001. Hopefully we won't encounter severe weather conditions. Considering neither of us have ever been outside the USA, we are in our 50's, both fair skinned and one of us (not him) is a bit, shall we say, 'FLUFFY', we weren't at all sure that an island resort was best for us. Perhaps you have some 'not so sun oriented' suggestions during our stay? We have decided to venture out for some snorkling (though neither of us swim well) because the pictures you posted are so beautiful. If you or any other readers have clothing, equipment, activity, suggestions, please let us know. Thanks again for your hard work and help. - Pam & Roger Hanson, Wichita, Kansas |

Dear Joe,
Your unofficial Club Viva Fortuna site is absolutely great!!! I found some very helpful information for our upcoming vacation. My fiance, his two kids and myself will leave for Club Fortuna on 07/24/01 for two weeks. We signed the membership of the Viva Vacation Club last year at Club Viva Maya in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and received two "bonus weeks" at Club Fortuna. I'm very curious about the resort and if they keep their promises. We were told to be accommodated in a studio unit for four persons and enyoy some privileges, whatever this may mean. What are the best rooms with ocean view? I'm a little worried about the weather. The hurrican season is said to have begun already, so I'm expecting cloudy weather and some rain. Am I right or is the weather not so bad during this season? Have you, or has anyone else listed in your guest book, ever heard about the Viva Vacation Club and RCI? I'm looking forward to receiving your answer and your tips. Best regards Sylvia Vienna, Austria, Europe |

Hi Joe,
We are planning to visit CFV in September 2001 and
would like to know which
rooms are nearest to the ocean and have the best
ocean views. Thanks, Vivian |

A girlfriend and I are taking a break from family
and work and arriving at CFV early Friday morning
7/6 returning Monday 7/9. As our flight out is 7:30
pm, we're hoping to stash our luggage at front desk
after check out and take taxi into town to shop
prior to returning for shuttle to airport. Any
recommendations? I think we have the right attitude regarding the resort. We've done a similar trip to Playa del Carmen on Mexico's coast and another recently to Curacao. Just hope check-in isn't too dreadful (after 1:00 a.m.!) and that we get a clean room (have paid for Oceanview). I was thinking about taking a "gift" to the front desk staff, perhaps something specifically "made in Virginia" as incitement for decent service and to be generally friendly. We tip all-inclusive, though more lightly than we would normally. $1 for two drinks, $4 dollars a day for maid, $2-4 on meals depending on service and time of day. This really was easy in Mexico after learning that most staff make only $5 dollars a day in wages! Hope to meet others from USA there! |

| It was truly a delight to view your "Unofficial" Guide to Club Fortuna. It is so well done, the Club should consider making it an "official" website. Job well done guys! |
