Viva Vacation Club at Viva Maya Wyndham

The Resort and Its Setting

Viva Vacation Club at Viva Maya Wyndham is a timeshare property in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, operating as part of the Club Wyndham portfolio under Wyndham Destinations. Ownership here is structured as Club Wyndham points/weeks, meaning that in addition to using your week at the home resort, you can put it toward other stays across the Wyndham network, or trade through RCI, to which the resort is affiliated. This suits owners who like the idea of a fixed week in a known location but also want the option to go elsewhere in some years.

Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya

Playa del Carmen is one of the busier towns on Mexico's Caribbean coast, built around Fifth Avenue (Quinta Avenida), a pedestrian strip of shops, restaurants and bars that runs parallel to the beach just a few hundred metres from the resort. The beach itself is close by, with the usual mix of swimming, watersports and sunset views you'd expect from this stretch of coastline. Beyond town, the wider Riviera Maya is packed with things to do: eco-parks, cenotes, Mayan ruins and island diving are all within a couple of hours by car or organised transport, which is part of the appeal for owners and renters alike who want a beach base with easy day-trip options.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're an owner weighing up what to do with a week at Viva Vacation Club at Viva Maya Wyndham, it helps to separate the resort itself from the Club Wyndham points attached to it. On BidMyTimeshare.com, listing is a private, owner-to-owner resale or rental: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee and 0% commission on whatever you agree with the buyer — we are not a party to the sale and don't take a cut.

What a buyer needs to know before agreeing a price: according to Wyndham, transferring ownership from one name to another carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, separate from whatever price the two of you settle on. Owner reports suggest that only some Club Wyndham Access contracts — generally those from around 2017 onward — carry a right of first refusal, and that in practice it's rarely exercised, though some brokers describe the clause more broadly; it's worth checking the specific contract before listing or buying. Wyndham does not publish a standard timeline for how long an ownership transfer takes, so build some flexibility into your plans on either side of the sale.

It's also important for buyers to understand what doesn't carry over: resale points bought secondhand do not come with VIP status, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners — these are developer-purchase benefits only. What a resale buyer does get is the underlying ownership itself, including the right to book and use the week or points, and, where affiliated, access to RCI exchange.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically less concerned with ownership mechanics and more with the week itself — dates, unit size, and proximity to Fifth Avenue and the beach — so owners renting out a stay rather than selling should lead with those practical details in their listing.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone buying resale should ask the current owner for the exact contract type, any right-of-first-refusal clause, and the current annual maintenance fee before agreeing a price, since these details vary by contract vintage and aren't standardised across all Club Wyndham agreements. Keep in mind that Playa del Carmen is served by Cancún International Airport, roughly 60 km away, so factor ground transport into any rental listing aimed at international guests.
