We stayed at the viva wyndham fortuna beach resort and discovered Berthas while walking along the beach. When I read the reviews other people wrote about her place, I have to agree with what they said..Berthas is not really fancy, but it's a comfortable beach stop. Bertha is a very friendly lady who is very welcoming to all who come... More

Dining at this restaurant is a very special experience. The food is exceptional and the atmosphere can't be beat. Bertha's is nothing to look at from the outside, but you will be impressed by what comes out of that kitchen. My husband and i wandered down from the Viva Wyndham one afternoon for lunch. I had read about this spot... More

We heard from other guests in the hot tub at the Viva Wyndham that Bertha's had fresh authentic seafood. So even though our dinner was "free" at our all-inclusive hotel, we walked in the dark up the beach to find Bertha's. She had a small bonfire going to help us find her place. Inside, on the porch, Bertha's daughter told... More

We stayed in the Via Wyndham Fortuna, where food was already paid for, to walk down the beach to Bertha's. What a gem! The place is nothing much to look at but do not let that fool you. We began with a seafood salad appetizer and ended with lobster. Superb! Fresh, wonderful seafood perfectly prepared. For just 20 bucks I... More

Just a short walk up the beach from the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach, Bertha's is one of the best kept secrets around. I was lucky enough to see a couple of people mention it is some reviews, that piqued my interest and we decided to try it. The Blue Dinghy may not look like a whole lot from the outside,... More

We read the reviews on Bertha's before venturing there - otherwise we would never have stepped foot inside just on looks alone. It's a ramshackle house right on the beach. Inside is a hodge podge of chairs, tables and clutter. But, this was one of the highlights of our trip! We stopped in early in the afternoon to let them... More

A short walk on the beach from Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach Resort is Bertha's Blue Dingy. Bertha prepared mouth-watering Bahamian lobster for us that can't be beat. Take time to talk with Bertha - she is a true Bahamian beauty, sweet as a Bahamamama.

Bertha's is a 8 minute walk on the beach from Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach Resort. It looks pretty rough on the outside but enter it and you'll be greeted by an extremely friendly woman named Bertha. Bar area and a separate dining room and wicked good local food is served. Also a great place to stop by for a cold... More
