Viva Vacation Club at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach la Romana

The Resort & Its Setting

Viva Vacation Club at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach is a beachfront timeshare in Bayahibe, on the Dominican Republic's southeastern coast. It operates under the Club Wyndham brand, with RCI affiliation giving owners a route into a broader exchange network. Bayahibe itself is a former fishing village that has kept much of its unhurried, small-town feel even as it's grown into one of the region's better-known beach destinations — a mix of local charm and holiday infrastructure that suits owners who want sand and sea without a big-city pace.

Bayahibe and the Surrounding Area

Bayahibe's own beach is right in the village, an easy stretch of sand for swimming and simply doing nothing. From here, Saona Island is a short boat trip away and a genuine highlight for most visitors — white sand, shallow turquoise water, and the kind of scenery that ends up in every holiday photo album. Inland and along the coast there's more to explore: the colonial city of La Romana for shopping and local dining, the Mediterranean-style artisan village of Altos de Chavón with its galleries and evening performances, and Cotubanamá National Park for hiking and cave exploration. It's a part of the country that works equally well for a week of pure relaxation or one built around day trips.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, modest listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before pricing a resale, it helps to know the Club Wyndham specifics. According to Club Wyndham, changing ownership carries a $399 processing fee, separate from whatever price you and the buyer agree between yourselves. Resale points also come with restrictions worth disclosing upfront: they don't carry VIP status, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners benefits, so a resale buyer is purchasing the vacation usage itself rather than the full suite of developer perks. Some Club Wyndham Access contracts from around 2017 onward reportedly carry a right of first refusal, though owners describe it as rarely exercised in practice — worth checking your specific contract before you commit to a sale. Club Wyndham doesn't publish a standard transfer timeline, so build in some flexibility when planning a handover date with your buyer.

For renters, the appeal is straightforward: a week on the beach in Bayahibe with the backing of an established timeshare brand, and the possibility of using RCI exchange privileges down the line if they later become owners themselves.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

La Romana International Airport is the closest airport, roughly 20 kilometres from Bayahibe, making arrival and departure fairly straightforward for both renters and visiting owners. The dry season, running from December through April, brings the most reliable weather and is generally the busiest stretch locally, so owners renting out a week during this period should expect stronger interest. Outside peak months, the pace slows and prices for excursions and local services tend to soften a little.
