The Resort & Setting
Viva Vacation Club at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach sits in Bayahibe, a former fishing village on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic. The property is part of the Club Wyndham portfolio under Wyndham Destinations, operating on a points-based vacation ownership system rather than a fixed week. Owners draw on their points allocation to book stays at this resort or, through RCI affiliation, at other participating properties.
Bayahibe & Things to Do
Bayahibe has grown into a well-known coastal base while keeping much of its original character — narrow streets, small seafood restaurants, and a working harbour alongside the tourist trade. The village itself is right on the doorstep, and the coastline here is part of what draws divers and snorkellers to the Dominican Republic, with reef sites and clear water just a short trip from shore. White-sand beaches typical of this stretch of coast are within easy reach, and the area is also a popular starting point for boat trips to nearby islands and marine parks along the southeast coast.
Selling or Renting a Week Here
If you own points at Viva Vacation Club and are considering selling, it helps to understand how a Club Wyndham resale actually works before you list. According to Club Wyndham, an ownership change carries a $399 processing fee, paid when the contract is transferred into the new owner's name. Published information doesn't give a standard timeframe for how long this transfer takes, so it's worth building some flexibility into any agreed completion date with a buyer.
Buyers should also know that resale points come with restrictions: Club Wyndham specifies that resale points cannot be used for VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners. These perks are tied to developer-purchased points only, so a resale buyer acquires the usage rights and RCI exchange access, but not the extra loyalty benefits. Owner reports also indicate that only some Club Wyndham Access contracts, generally those from around 2017 onward, carry a right of first refusal, and that it's rarely exercised in practice — but it's worth checking your specific contract before agreeing on a price with a buyer.
On BidMyTimeshare.com, listing your week is a straightforward owner-to-owner process: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee, and we don't take any commission on the sale. Interested buyers contact you directly through the platform to discuss terms, so you stay in control of the negotiation from start to finish.
Renters, meanwhile, typically focus on specific travel dates, unit size, and what's included in the stay — so listing with clear details on points value, resort amenities, and any seasonal availability will help your listing stand out.
Practical Notes
Anyone buying a resale week here should ask the current owner for the exact transfer fee being charged at the time, along with the current annual maintenance fee, since these can change and aren't fixed figures published for every contract year. Confirming RCI membership status as part of the resale is also worth doing directly, since exchange privileges are tied to the ownership being in good standing.

Travel Tips
Bayahibe's nearest major airport is Punta Cana International, so arrange onward transport in advance. If you plan to use your points for an RCI exchange, check exchange deposit deadlines well before your intended travel dates. Visiting outside peak winter months can mean quieter beaches and easier availability, and it's worth setting aside time to explore Bayahibe village itself rather than staying resort-side for the whole trip.
